Hokkaido Ichiba; Kita no ZEN (北の膳) @ The Gardens

Hokkaido Ichiba is a rather new Japanese Restaurant located at the 3rd floor of Gardens, Midvalley just open last September. Looking at its deco and Shojikiya shop next to it not hard to notice they operates under the same management as Sushi Zanmai and Pasta Zanmai.

Although many claimed to reduce consuming food from Japan especially dining at a Japanese Restaurant is a No No, after the Earthquake + tsunami disaster at Japan last month. My friend and I still insist to go as we just LOVE japanese food, hahahaa.

Mind you, Hokkaido Ichiba has a long queue outside too, similar to Sushi Zanmai which is always on queue no matter what time.

(this pix taken after our meal around 10.30pm, so you see no ppl queue-ing)

From outside you can see Hokkaido Ichiba looks more grand and premier so goes to their food portion and price too.



Each one will be given a soy sauce each and wasabi was shared among all, more upon request.

Sushiya Salad with dressing @ RM18.00 (small).
They are so generous on the sashimi salmon, tuna and crab meat !!

This is the first time i try sashimi salad and it just made me loving it... !!


Iso Sashimi Mori (5 kinds of 2 pieces each) @ RM75.00


the sashimi set is really huge in slices!! almost 3x times fatter than the one served at Sushi Zanmai. ^.^ Everything is perfect and fresh except the prawn, which taste weird to me.


Shio Ramen with Grilled chicken @ RM12.80
There is corns, jpn kelp, seaweed, sliced onion and egg.

A big bowl of Ramen, we share this among two. The soup is so nice that i almost finish it all.

I had a shocked when this came. This is so huge !!!
Stamina Maki @ RM28.00

Definitely can't a mouth in unless you got a big mouth oh, hehehee. The unagi meat is still soft and tasty although is so big and thick. No ''big bones'' either.


Spider Maki @ RM22.00
Same as the above, each sushi is huge and i think its almost about 6cm in diameter.


Chicken Katsujyu Bento @ RM26.00
another giant size bento.

my friend said he never expect this 3x times large portion which takes him a hard time to finish it.


Nabeyaki Udon @ RM22.00
serves hot in a burning claypot. Friend claim that its very delicious.



We finished our meal until the time they close. All of us are so full and no more room for the Hokkaido Ice Cream dessert!!! Must leave some space to try their dessert next time. Total bill comes up to RM236.40 for 4 pax. I think its reasonable and we are satisfied with the ''premier'' food and holding our big tummy home.

Pork Meat Ball Noodle (三间庄猪肉丸粉) @ Taman Tun (TTDI)

Pork Meat Ball Noodle (猪肉丸粉) has been well known as 3JC 三间庄猪肉丸粉 because they were origin from a place which link between 3 shoplots.

Found this Pork Meat Ball noodle stall at Restaurant TTDI Utama (老地方茶室) very nice and business is good too. Each bowl is only RM4.30 and for the Large one is RM5.00.

Besides noodle, a bowl of Pork meat Ball contains of minced meat, pork sausage, pork meat ball, some greenish onion and a little of white pepper.

The soup base Pork Meat Ball with koey teow + mee hoon.

Dry Pork Meat Ball with koey teow.


Their koey teow is just so slim and smooth. Loving it so much.


Pork meat ball is not soft nor hard, just nice to bite.

Enjoy my noodle with a cup of White coffee @ RM1.80.

O'Coffee Club (Set Lunch) @ Jalan Bukit Bintang (Fahrenheit 88)

My second visit to O'Coffee Club to try out the Set Lunch Promotion -- LINK





We entered 15mins after 3pm but they still provide us the Set Lunch Menu upon request (as i actually don't know the time until the waiter told me so ''embarrassed'' ).


We ordered 2 set lunch: Smoked Salmon Pasta and Beef Baked Rice @ RM23.90 each

It comes with a Regular Coffee


Or Ice Tea.
Liquid sugar is separated, and I feel without sugar is good enough for the taste.


Smoked Salmon Pasta with white sauce. (ala carte @ RM22.80)


Smoke salmon is abit too salty, open it up and soak in the white sauce will have the whole pasta full of salmon aroma. Its mouth watering as the portion is just nice before you aret sick of the white sauce.


Beef Baked rice. (ala carte @ RM19.90)


I love the sauce taste of the rice and cheese, it can really mix well. But unfortunately i feel the beef is abit too hard and huge. The beef almost cover 70% of the serving, I would rather prefer more rice.


Side order: Soup of the Day - Chicken Cream Soup @ RM9.90
Quite alot of minced chicken meat inside and soup is quite mild. This definitely not ''my cup of tea''. I still prefer the Wild Mushroom Soup on my first visit.


Here I got the photo, its just right outside main entrance of UniQlo.
