Apologies for the silence but work has been hell with quarter close deadlines. And yours truly here is down with the flu. Wonder where the bug came from.
Anyways, was back in Ipoh over the weekend for my beloved Por Por's birthday. It's her 83rd! We had been cracking our heads where to head to for dinner. Knowing my dad, we'll end up in either Sun Lee How Fook Restaurant or Overseas Restaurant. No way!
So I thought hard and finally decided that Japanese it is. Por Por has never tasted Japanese food so I thought this would be a great time to expose her. But then the problem is I'm not at all familiar with the Jap food scene in Ipoh. Up went a post in FB and Twitter and lo and behold, the replies started flooding. Ah! The wonders of social media marketing.
We finally decided to go ahead with one of my schoolmates, Yin Fong's, recommendation. After all she's lived in Japan for a period of time so she would know how authentic the food is. It's a new restaurant called Aka Momiji somewhere behind Tesco.
Off we headed to the restaurant. We were lucky to be just slightly early as it was almost full house. Very good variety of food and bento sets available. Price wise is also good value for money. For 8 of us, the total bill came up to RM300 and that includes a bottle of sake which my dad ordered.
Por Por was very adventurous that night. She even dared try sashimi with wasabi. When we brought out the cake and sang her the birthday song, she was absolutely estatic.
Later, one of the staff offered Por Por a small tub of imported Japanese ice cream. Even June got a tub. We shared it among the 8 of us as we were just too stuffed from all the food and cake. Delicious!
Oh yah, the cake we bought was from JJ Cake House by Jennifer Liau. Pandan layered cake without colouring and preservatives and also low in sugar. Lovely!
Pics to come soon.
