Food Blog #30

Praise the good Lord that it's my 30th post on food! :)

First and foremost, I have to thank my good friend KJ for this. He was the one who suggested this Japanese restaurant to me somewhere in Damai and spent me along the way :) Both of us adore Japanese food, period.

Well, I thought there were only handful of Japanese restaurants in KK where I normally go to (Nishiki, Wagamama) until Fukurou came into the picture. I had no idea whatsoever about the location of this restaurant, let alone its existence in KK! So KJ, you're the man! :D

OK, get ready to be hungry!

My bad for not being able to provide you readers the captions for every photo you see. All I can say is the food we ordered were so good/above average that I completely forgot to note down the name of every dish. The sushis, salmon, tofu, pickled vegetables, chicken teriyaki, pudding...everything was good from the get-go. No complaints!

I believe from these pictures you can tell that they are good. The restaurant is located on the same row as Yoyo@Damai, right at the very end opposite the car park building.

Fukurou's to go! :D

To come and think of it, my BB does take good pictures after all. Cute eh? :)

Quality of pictures :), :\ or :( ?

If you would have noticed the pictures I've taken since the beginning of this year, they are a bit different from the pictures I took last year. This is because I changed my handphone to BlackBerry Curve 8900. I previously used SE K810i, still use it though for emergency. I am actually a bit disappointed with the quality of the pictures taken from BB, they look slightly blurry compared to SE. I can't help but to use it to take pictures; or maybe I just don't know how to take good pictures with a BB?
So what do you think? :), :\ or :( ?

Goodness, it has been awhile, yet again!

A good friend of mine was good enough to spend me a good dinner last Wednesday (since I spent him twice already) at Upperstar Damai.

Upperstar is one of the most popular restaurants in KK; and now that they have three branches already: Lintas, Damai and the one in front of Hyatt Hotel. You are pretty much spoilt for choice! The one in Lintas is always full of customers regardless of any days. The one in front of Hyatt Hotel exudes that at-the-bar-get-me-a-tequila-shot feeling & the one in Damai probably gets you laid-back a little; and that was the exact way how I wanted it to be after working out that day :)

OK, pictures!

Grilled salmon. I've to say it was really good. Note the sauce on top of the salmon? Amazing. Everything was above average.

Bruschetta. The bread was a bit overgrilled, and I saw no main ingredient: tomatoes! Completely different from what I had the last time. The toppings were lettuce and cured meat. I gave this one a 5.5/10. Tough luck...

Overall I had a wonderful dinner; I really liked the grilled salmon. Be careful with the bones though, there were plenty of bones and I used my hand to take them out from my mouth. You may have to think twice about ordering the bruschetta though, if you're a conservative bruschetta eater like me you would probably be a bit disappointed. No tomatoes; ask the waiter if the toppings include tomatoes :P

Thanks KJ! :) Mentioned you in my blog haha xoxo

Earlier in the afternoon, I had lasagna for lunch in Secret Recipe @ Centre Point. I was tempted to take a picture and publish it in my blog. It was pretty good, although the portion could have been slightly bigger :P

I guess I've to be contented with the portion, after all I need to lose weight. I really like the wholemeal bun, eat it with the lasagna, ain't that bad after all.

Back in KL where I study I almost have Indian food all the time! Be it breakfast, dinner or lunch. I always thought it was always difficult to look for a good Indian restaurant in Sabah until my unit section head spent us lunch last Wednesday :) Since I'm crazy about Indian food and all...

What did we eat?

Pictures please :)

I love this. Fish head curry. This is a must :)


Mine, and will you look at the generous portion :)


Look at those hands. They are helping themselves with the fish head curry, pappadoms and fish eggs (the ones with the fork in the picture) which I helplessly thought they were nuggets in the first place.


I think I'm going to faint. Fried mackerels, quails and vegetables on the other side of the table. 10/10 no doubt. My unit section head fed us really well :)

Since I rarely distribute photos of myself as well as people whom I know of, here's your rare chance to see a few:

Before

and after! I see no difference. Talking about being photogenic :D No hard feelings yo.

My hope of finding a good Indian restaurant in Sabah sweet home (and probably more) has been renewed! It's kinda embarrassing not to know the existence of Krishna Curry House which is situated in Millennium (the one where Ocean is). For you Indian food lovers like me out there who have all sorts of difficulties of finding a good Indian restaurant in KK, this is the place :) Everything was great, excellent from the get go :D

I was the only one who asked for more rice. Thank you Mr. Kamal for the lunch.

What? It's April already?

Before I go on with my 27th food blog post, I just want to thank you guys so much for the wonderful comments. They may not be a lot, but I appreciate them as they are.

I love porridge! I mean, who does not?

I disagree when some people say porridge is the food for the sick and ailing. If it is cooked properly & correctly, porridge can be delicious, yummy, nutritious and healthy for you. That is why last Saturday after the Easter Vigil mass my family had porridge in Foh Sang for dinner.

Fish porridge. Wow, the portion is generous. Two to three people can have this together at one-go. Well, it depends on your hunger pangs. As for me, I finished this all by myself ;)


Seaweeds, carrots & cabbages are provided together with the porridge. Condiments I believe.


...and who would have thought that together with the porridge and condiments, my dad ordered zhu chap ( pig = pork+ skins + intestines) garnished with cucumber and hard boiled chicken eggs? Interesting. It ain't that bad.

So, if you're around KK and interested in late night dining/supper, drop by Foh Sang. There are a few restaurants/coffee shops to choose from; this place is full of activities day and night.
