Japan Food
The first two weeks of Movement Control Order (MCO) is done, but we still need to stay at home until April 14. By working from home, I want to fill my time with blogging. So, here's to the Japanese restaurant that I went with hubby a few weeks ago before everything happened.
I would say 'Halal' is a sensitive topic to Muslim in Malaysia especially when it comes to food. Well, I'm not making this becoming more controversial but I just want to tell you all the information that I gained before heading there and share my thoughts after visiting the restaurant. Totally not a sponsored post, I'm just a normal girl talking about food. So, what do you have in mind when people ask you about Omurice? Here's my answer for you.
If you love Nasi Goreng Pattaya, I'm pretty sure you are going to love the fluffy Omurice originated from Japan. The key ingredients of the fusion would be rice and eggs! But, you will get surprised by the lovely gooey texture after slicing it up.
I know it was hard to perfect the art of cooking an Omurice because you need to get a clean, shiny and yellow cooked eggs. By the way, I have tried it in Japan once and that makes me curious how would it taste like in Malaysia. Would it be good as it is?
I went to Omulab after spending the day at Arts & Lights Play. Nuriy and I were starving that we actually ran out of patience to look out for parking here. I would say parking is limited at night. So, make sure to grab your sit in the morning.

| I'm drooling by just looking at the menu. |
WHICH ONE THAT WE TRIED?
1. Omu Omu Rice - RM 22.90
Japanese wafu fried rice with blue cheese sauce.
 |
| Rice, eggs and cheese? Perfect combination. |
2. Omu Kare - RM 18.90
Mix herb fried rice with Japanese curry house.
 |
| Fluffy eggs with signature curry. |
WHAT DO WE THINK?
Both of the dishes are absolutely great. I actually like Japanese curry more than any other curry, it was too sweet not too spicy just nice and I called it a classic Japanese curry. For me, as I ordered Omu Kare, it was really delicious dishes but I recommend you to eat while hot.
Same goes to Nuriy dish, Omu Omu Rice. Because there is blue cheese on the plate, you need to eat it faster to enjoy the delicacies. She loves her food and that brought up her Japanese blood into an exciting venture.
Between those two, I would recommend you to try the classic Omu Kare first before anything else. From basic, then you can taste the differences between other omu rice.
We didn't order any drinks because they provide a warm water in a bottle, which is really convenient for people who just want to enjoy the rice. Overall, I would absolutely pay a visit again and try their other menu like desserts, yakisoba and their premium Uji Matcha, Hojicha & Sakura.

Tasting the Japanese Hotpot & Handmade Soba at J’s Gate Dining Lot 10!
I agree that I couldn't get enough talking about Japan, and there is always something to talk about especially their food. Before I splurge on Japanese food I always think about my budget, but not anymore because this two shop that I'm going to review are budget friendly!

| Halal Hotpot (Nabe) & Handmade Soba at J's Gate Dining Lot 10! |
| I really missed eating Ramen in Japan and when I heard that Amaimono Japanese Pantry have that, I just have to tried right away. What are we waiting for? Leggo! |
| This cafe is full of fun spot to capture for your Instagram photo! |
You might have heard "Dashi" word if you are into a Japanese cuisine. But, if you are not its okay and let me explain to you briefly about Dashi.
Dashi is a Japanese stock (broth), made from kombu (dried kelp), bonito flakes (dried and smoked skipjack tuna that is shave into thin flakes), anchovies/sardine (iriko or niboshi), or a combination of all or two of them.
At this restaurant, they made their Dashi fresh every single day and it used in many different Japanese dishes, such as miso soup, chawanmushi and many more.
I went to this place with my blogger friend, mommy cici and I find that this place is great to have a catch up session with friends. For me, it is really easy for me to move around and have face to face conversation at the round dining table.
So, how about the food?
 |
| I love round dining table, because I can have face to face conversation to the person beside me efficiently! |
Since it just two of us, we decided to order one meal for each of us to avoid food waste. Thankfully, it was a right decision because one meal can feed two person. Look at those picture below, it may look small but it can make you full in just a second.
Rice with Hot Dashi Soup Grilled Salmon & Salmon Roe | RM31
 |
| Up closed on the meal |
If I were given one word to describe this meal, it will be healthy. We tend to go for chicken rather than fish and I consider Salmon as expensive fish.
When I have the opportunity to eat fish, I usually picked the one that I rarely ate which in this occasion, Salmon.
There is no fishy smell, but there are taste of it. Other than that, I find it crunchy and flavourful when you mixed the ingredients all together. I consider this as healthy meal because it was not salty but its not bland.
To those who doesn't like to eat dry food, don't worry because this meal come with free refill dashi (broth) that you can just sip it alone or mix it with rice.
Take Set | RM38
 |
| Up Closed on Take Set |
For this next set, I will tell you what are on this set accordingly based on the picture above (start from left up, end at left down):
1. Grilled Mackerel with Eryngi Mushroom "Saya Style"
Its easy to eat in sushi form because the ingredient is compact. It contained mackerel which taste overwhelmed and hid the taste of the mushroom.
2. Tomato with Dashi Ginger
I never taste this in my whole life, and it was unique experienced for me. I thought the ginger will be overpowering but its actually taste like an apple juice, sweet and sour. But, it was a bit strange when I bite into the tomato, was not favour of the taste.
3. Tofu and Kinoko Mushroom with Dashi Sauce
Tofu is like best friend for me, I love the softness of it and the sauce is just perfect for it.
4. Fried Chicken "Saya Style"
Before I ate this, I'm quite sceptical about how it will taste. But, it is nice to have this to washed out all the fish and seafood. The fried chicken is very light and made with their own style.
5. Japanese Traditional Stew "CHIKKUZENNI"
This one is pretty similar to a Chinese cuisine, maybe just because I see it contain lotus root.
6. Hokkaido Beef Croquette
Well, this is my first time eating croquette and hope to eat more soon! I love this, and usually I don't like fried shell but this one is not that thick. Ingredients inside this croquette is compact and generous.
Steamed Egg and Dashi Soup "SAYA STYLE" | RM7
When I ate at new Japanese restaurant, I must taste their chawanmushi and miso sup and so far this is my favourite.
Usually, the egg taste inside the chawanmushi are too overwhelming, but at Dashi Dining Saya, its full of flavour. I can taste the combination of the softness, broth and egg at the same time. Same goes to miso sup (RM7), the base is all it takes to make it taste different.

Beside the dining experienced, I get to take a look at their other store (which located just beside Dashi Dining Saya), Daishi Delica. The store consist of Japanese dishes with a concept of take away, but you may also eat at their dining table too.
The best part is they also sell octopus ball. With RM 12, you have to choose between Sauce & Mayonaise or Dashi Soup.

Before I end this post, I hope that all of you will visit and try Dashi Dining Saya one day (hopefully soon) because the environment and food is something different for me to experienced. Plus, Dashi Dining Saya and Dashi Delica Saya is pork free.
Let me know on the comment below if you already try the food at this place, or if you have any suggestion for place or food that you want me to try and review.
Till then, have a great day!
