DIMW - Do It My Way, All Day Breakfast :-)

RM$10.90 for a 5 item DIMW, or RM$12.90 for my 7 item DIMW ... I love English-style fry-ups, and this one's halal too!

Take your pick from ... Mushrooms, Scrambled 0r fried eggs, Fish fingers, Chicken sausages, Hash browns (Really good!), Pancakes, Turkey Ham, et al.

Grilled chicken sandwich, RM$11.90, looked really good too...

The mushroom soup, RM$3.90, was good value. Coffees, cappucinos, lattes and teas here are decent too.

A and B arrived later, and seemed to enjoy their food too :-)

Indifferent "hostess" and terrible waiting staff, who were not only BLUR but also SILLY (imagine serving and pouring 2mm of Chivas into a tumbler, when most joints would easily pour half an inch or even an inch!) ...
Badly organised restaurant, but perhaps that was cos' we visited at about 9:30pm which was soon after the "50 cents" Tiger Beer promotion ended? Yes, its rumoured that you only have to pay full whack on the first, and subsequent Tigers are .... 50 cents. Care to confirm? I won't be going back!


Chivas and dice games kept us partially amused!

Shuraku - Delicious new Japanese at Solaris, Mont Kiara

I am starting to spend a lot of time in the Solaris area, was going to visit Tenji (The Japanese Buffet), but changed our mind to visit a smaller eatery instead :-)

Thanks to a makan-buddy for introducing me to this 2 month old Jap, at Solaris Mont Kiara. Located on the 2nd floor near to SoHo, its a quaint little place, with excellent service.

Add: 13-2, Jalan Solaris Mont Kiara 1, Solaris Mont Kiara, off Jalan Duta.

Tel: +603 6203 0561
Opening hours: Daily, 6pm - 12.30am

Facebook information:

A visit to SHURAKU transports you on a unique culinary journey, made distinct by a menu of intricate Japanese pub fare specially prepared by Chef Yazu from Ozaka, Japan and an extensive list of sake, shochu & spirits that will quench any thirst.

Situated above Maybank in Solaris Mont Kiara, diners of SHURAKU will be greeted by a warm cozy setting and a team of hospitable staff who are also conversant in Japanese. With reasonable pricing, there is really nothing stopping you from joining us at SHURAKU today!

Tanqueray and Tonic, or to the less-initiated ... Gin and Tonic! RM$16, good value cos' its strong and its Tanqueray!

Tonkotsu Sui Gyoza - An ordinary spring-roll type dish that sprung to life thanks to the Japanese Curry Sauce served alongside, yummy! RM$15.

Nama Haru Maki - Unagi, beautifully translucent and delicate skin, and a hint of cheese, quite magical! RM$20.

Ebi Mentai Harumaki (RM$12) - Wanton soup with a bone-based broth, simply delicious once again!

Tori Garlic - Chicken with garlic bits, simply delicious! RM$14.

The Beef Yasai Roll came highly recommended, but we didn't find it that spesh ... Perhaps cos' we had let it cool down? RM$18.

Cha Soba (Cold) - Pretty decent, RM$17.

ps - Good value, good service, good food ... RM$60 a person for the above, without the G&T, or RM$90 per person with a pair of G&Ts each!

A couple of local writers get together at Afterhour, Solaris
