Bites: Zensaki @ Barrack St, Perth.

Time is going by ever so quickly again.  If you don’t accelerate you’d probably get swallowed in the past.  Realising so, I’ve been trying to increase my daily pace.  But it’s hard to get a tired engine started, then again impossible is nothing.  But to start an engine you need fuel! So yes yes, last Friday lunch I was in search for fuel.

In doing so, we went to a new restaurant that has replaced Samurai @ Barrack St.  It’s called Zensaki.  In attendance was a few of my good ol friends. Two of them never quite made it to my blog till now.

Cherry & Mei Jing. Gawddd! just look at Cherry’s eyes.  Hantu!

Hua Yi Heng a.k.a Fishman!

Kelvin’s epic post!

The place was quite a looker. The interior is so much nicer than Samurai’s.  Probably the best looking Jap Cafe in Perth for now. 

Looks pretty damn modern!  Clean cut with warm ambient lighting by the bar.  Reminds me of those HK tea cafe joints in Hong Kong.

But putting the looks aside, how did the food fare?  Well we ordered a few ala carte dish to begin the food test.

Fishmans’s Karaage Ramen.  He says it sucked for $12.50.  Not enough meat, not enough taste in the soup.  He says Freo trashes this 100 to 0.

Cherry and Mei Jing both ordered Teriyaki chicken @8.50 .  They girls said it was OK.  It looks a bit burn to me hehe.

Kelvin’s curry.  I think it was the most edible dish of the lot.  However, whenever it comes to good Japanese curry, it’s always measured against the much favoured Jap curry from Samurai.  And this fails to meet the mark.  This is so saddening :S!  Can Samurai every be replaced? NOT anytime soon.

This was my Ebi Don.  It was pretty nice, but not as good as the one down @ Taka, Barrack St.   Booooooooo. 

In conclusion I found fuel, but it sucked :(!  This is just a modern day eatery that required more substance in it food.  It’s food feels kinds of “there” but “not there” @@!  In the end its pretty much no where.  Curry need improvement.  Ramen recipe needs an overhaul.  Ebi don hmm.  I think it was coated with breadcrumbs.  Would have preferred tempura batter.

P/S: GODDDDDDDDDDDDD! I looked around and found that the owners aren’t japanese. :*-(

AFK: Lost and Back.. Again.

Not sure what’s been keeping me away from my blog for a gazillion years but o well I think its always good to make a come back.  For the past month or so, much has happened.  A new retarded housemate, a new car and a new semester.  Been doing LOTS of grocery, a typical white house activity.  My weight loss program has been rather grim, but reading how the dude representing M’sia in the Biggest Loser program lose 60kg, I feel rather pumped to continue shedding unnecessary bulk!  Maybe a 65 would be more realistic rather than 60 hoho.

What have I been doing mm!  Well to start, I think we’ve been feasting like pigs.  A couple of house steamboats, and one barbecue at Applecross.  Or actually it was TWO barbecue events.  Oh and I started working for RGIS again.  Made my first 85 bucks of the year.  Hopefully it doesn’t turn out to be the last @@!

Yh and the girls flipping the wings.

Kelvin and Vil @ Applecross!

The new WHO? My new hsemate la!

mY hair all spiked out and err Hatim and his bro Saifuddin.  Saifudin kept on telling me the custom would think he is a terrorist @ the airport!

Oh and yes I went to some friend’s convocation! Mmmm the so very lovely fruit tartlets!

Stoked. k thx bai.

When You Were Young: Home Cooked Food.

What were the little things in life that you actually liked best When You Were Young?  Was it the food mom and dad cooked?  The brainless friends you were with?  Or perhaps the pets you used to have for company everyday before school and after school?  How about every single thing I’ve just mentioned above?  Weird thing for me to bring this up.  But I realised after the meal yesterday, it really is quite something to have it all together.

My mom and the dinner spread of Nasi Lemak.  One of my usual breakfast food every Saturday when I’m in Malaysia!

I asked my mom to cook up something for my friends since Jim’s mom called us over a few times already.  My mom was keen, and I knew she would somewhat be keen considering how boring Perth is.

The best part would be the chicken sambal!  It doesn’t taste like the tomato-ish Malay kind but I just like it.  Something I’ve been luvin since I was young ahah.  Of course there were other dishes as well such as the petai beans with anchovies, boiled eggs etc.

My sister’s new pup! Cookie hoho! A retarded little fella this one is.  Super hyper and loves to stick that tongue out keeping it ready for a good lick.

I used to have like 100000000 dogs when I was young.  Only 1 died.  A few had to be given to the pound because people kept leaving their dogs outside my gate and another two got stolen.  Dang I love dogs!

And now where are the pictures of Yobi, Vil, Jim and CR? Hmmmm I guess I didn’t need to take any because they’re all in my head. 

After that was late night movie @ Carousel.  Manage to get 8.50 tickets for the Wolfman despite them putting a notice that Wolfman is not entitled to free or discounted tickets ahah
