Was invited by Revenue Valley Sdn Bhd which owns Manhattan Fish Market and Tokyo G to do a review on their latest offerings. Was both excited(first time having invited review, what can be better than having free food, and plus it is japanese, sort of… you will see…) and nervous(as i am not fond of “complicated” food, Tokyo G being a japanese fusion restaurant…) but was pleasantly surprised at their interesting and delicious offerings.

Tokyo G (formerly known as Sushi Groove) is a hip and trend joint serving japanese fusion food, with chinese/western etc influence.

Fusion Dragon G-Roll, a roll with chili padi at the front 4 pieces, i had the pieces at the back which is filled with tempura, this sushi roll is topped with mango and smoked beef, really flavorful.

they is also also Tokyo G Carbonara, only RM12.90, they added sesame paste and miso paste into a western cabonara dish.

Their wasabi ice cream(white colored) and sesame ice cream(black color) is really nice. Wasabi ice cream is melow when you first eat it, but the wasabi punch that hits you afterwards is interesting(in a nice way), sesame ice cream is really fragrant, the green colored is green tea ice cream

Klang Valley Food Hunt is happening next month

Flag off Location: National Science Centre, Bukit Kiara, Kuala Lumpur

Date: Saturday, October 3, 2009

Registration: 6:30am!

Flag Off: 8:30am

This event is organised RASA RASA and Time Out Solutions. RM20,000 worth of prizes for the top 20 teams. Registration for each participant is RM90(RM20 discount for Maxis user), each team(ie each car) can consist 2-4 person. Limited to 120 teams/cars.

Closing date for registration: September 28, 2009. Entry form can be download from www.rasarasa.net or www.timeoutsolutions.com or call 03-5621 4818.

Main sponsor is Maxis, other sponsors include Jobstreet.com, Sunrise, TMS, Nestle Nesvita, Country Farm Organics, Taylor’s College and myNEWS.com.

Previous 2 years food hunt organised by rasa-rasa was in Penang, this is the first year is held in KL, good for KL foodies. This year theme is “Going by mobile” whereby participants have to use Maxis SMS based location finder directory. Basically is like sending text message(ex: “Pan Mee”) to 301(number of the FINDER service), and they will send back the nearest places where you can have “Pan Mee”, and you can continue reply back to 301, they will send you back another sms containing more details and google map(provided you phone is 3G enabled, otherwise you will just get a http link of the google map)

Originally wanted to join this with a friend, but after finding out there is no reimbursement of petrol, 3G and this hunt will probably take 6-7 hours, and i am terrible in solving riddles, therefore decided not to join this treasure hunt.

Also, FYI, they have no ruling on GPS usage and not all routes are halal.( they have some routes to accomodate Muslim participants)

Anyone joining?

Tien Tien Lai, Pudu, a restaurant situated in one of the backlane in Pudu, customers filled to the brim, business is brisk, and there have 2 place for seating: one with air-conditioner and one without.
Sweet and sour pork, RM10, taste so-so to me partly i don’t fancy pork that much and prefer more simple food(steamed, savoury instead of this “sweet” dish)
superb steamed egg(normal chicken egg, salted egg and century egg), RM8
steamed ginger paste fish, RM15
overall, a so-so place to have dinner, the steamed egg is superbly done, smooth. Have been eating so much outside these few weeks, i still prefer more homey food, not too oily, not deep fried… weight have increased 2-3kg in the last few weeks and it is not even funny when i see the cellulite in thigh/leg… urghhhh… also been pigging so much last few weeks during lunch time too… usually i will do 25 mins of elliptical machine, that’s it(why 25 mins, because i am “lazy” to do 30 mins… haha), but today did another 15 brisk walk on machine… hope it helps… want to lose some topical weight in the mid section, is that possible? read some article before that there is no such things as targetting areas of your body which you want to work on…
