F&B 2015-2016 Edition by Worthy Book Review

Merry Christmas everyone!

Hope each one of you have a great Christmas celebration. 

I have started to feel the pinch on my purse especially during Christmas week as I tend to go out more often to meet up with my friends. At the same time, New Year is coming soon and I am getting more invitation for food outings. Gonna be broke pretty soon. 

Here comes the rescue! Worthy Book have come out with their latest F&B edition for 2015-2016.

It works like groupon, the different is that you got to purchase this book first which cost RM29.90. 

It has a variety of cuisines to choose from with different type of coupons. 

Here is how it works, first pick a location "Midvalley". 

I would flip those pages where it stated "Midvalley". 

Manmaru is at Midvalley! 

Thus, I am able to use its "Buy 1 Free 1 any Udon dishes".

Spotted Manmaru ! 

I am able to choose over 32 varieties of Udon, the free bowl will be either equal or lower value.

I am impressed by their varieties, we took some time to figure out what we want. 

Finally we choose :

Niku Kimchi Udon @ RM 19.90 

Sliced beef with Korean style spicy Udon Soup. 

Ishiyaki Eringi Udon @ RM19.90

Stir fried assorted mushrooms with Udon in Hot Stone Bowl. 

I love the Udon texture, its a bit thicker and chewy than the usual Udon available in the most Japanese chain in KL. Thumbs up from me :) 

Time to pay for the bill, just tear out the coupon and pass it to the waiter. 

Total damage : RM23.90 for two person which includes two green tea @ RM2 each. 

In total per person with drink cost RM12. 

A bargain I would say !! 

Next stop : Dessert @ Komugi 

I decided to use two of out of the four coupons, "Buy 1 Free 1 Creamy Custard Krone" and "Free 2 Macaroons with purchase of any slice cake OR roll cake". 

I choose Honey roll cake @ RM 4.90 and got two free macaroons (Apricot cheese & Matcha flavours), each worth RM4.25.

I love their macaroons, I was surprised that it actually tastes good!! 

Bought one Creamy Custard Krone and got one free. 

I am not a fan of custard but my mum love it. 

Guess what !! I only pay a damage of RM10.30 !! 

The best part is I could share it among 2-3 people. 

Each person cost around RM3.50. 

Good damage: 

This would really come in handy especially when food prices keep increasing these days. 

A savy way to save money and enjoy at the same time ;) 

I have managed to save a total RM33.20 

1. A free bowl of Udon noodle (RM19.90)

2. Two free Macaroons (RM4.25*2 = RM.8.50) 

3. A free Creamy Custard Krone (RM4.80)

I got my return back of RM3.30 since the book cost RM29.90. 

If you continue to use these coupons, I believe you will be able to save much more. 

On the side note, it depends on your location and preference. 

The good thing about this is that you are able to see all the listed restaurants before consider purchasing it.  Click on the link below to know more!

Matcha Hero Kyoto @ Pavilion, Tokyo Street

Hello Everyone !!

I know its been a long time since I posted a review on this blog, sorry guys :_)

My first review in 2015 goes to Matcha Hero Kyoto !! 

It is one of the best Matcha I have ever drink till this date of time :D 

It is located right in front of Ichi Zen. 

They source their Matcha from Marukyu-Koyamaen, Kyoto which is well known for its quality! 

My order : Hot Matcha Latte ! 

Taste so yummy! They have limited drink menu, sorry I forgotten to take picture of it. I must have gotten rusty in blogging :/ 

By the way, they have Matcha ice cream too which I think it looks yummy ! 

For those who love baking, you can buy their Matcha powder to bake Matcha cookies or Matcha cakes. 

It priced around 40g for around RM75- RM79. I know its expensive T.T

Manmaru Review @ Midvalley

I wanted to eat Le French Wrap, a well known restaurant known for their crepes but I couldn't find it in The Gardens even though I have their address in my hands. 

Is it their, The Gardens outlet have closed down? Please tell me if you know! 

So I went around to look for food and somehow ended up in midvalley at Manmaru. 

Their Lunch Bento, quite affordable with 4 different type of food in one set. 

However, I was looking something soupy at that time so I ordered :

Spicy Beef Udon with Kimchi - RM 16.90

The texture of the udon is smooth and you will get the tendency to slurp it all into your mouth haha! 

Beside that, its udon has a QQ texture and the thickness of the udon is just right.

However the slice beef is a bit tough, I wished they marinate it :( 

Lastly the broth taste good ! *thumbs up* 

Green Tea- RM2 

Deng Deng !!!!! 

Are you all ready for this challenge??? 

I probably will able to complete this challenge if I were starved myself for 3 days two nights xD 

Here is the catch : 

1. Free only if you are able to finish the dish (both udon and soup ) within 10 minutes 

2. The big bowl Udon challenge comprises of : 

Udon (1kg) 

Clear Soup (1 Litre) 

Hanjuku tamago (1 nos) 

Spinach (25 gram) 

Leeks (25 gram)

3. Lastly if you failed, you got to paid the price of the bowl of udon which is worth RM33.80.

Overall, I enjoy my udon session ! 

And I hope you will too :) 

Love,

Menya Musashi Samurai Ramen @ Isetan, 1 Utama

Probably you have heard of this quite well-known Ramen Shop in One Utama.

Some said, its the best... while some said its isn't anymore !

Here I come to give my opinions to any of you that would want to try or eat it again.

For those who are new to Menya Musashi, it is actually very popular in Japan. It is named after a legendary samurai, Miyamoto Musashi, who is famous for its double sword style.

Here is a brochure outside of Isetan Food Paradise entrance.

Dinning Area, nice interior. 

No enough flavour?? You can add on Fried Garlic and Chilli Pepper. 

They provide you a good quality Bamboo chopstick here. You don't have to smoother it. 

 I order a side dish, Sushi Roll ! taste like sushi you can get it from Jusco Supermarket.

Taste : 2.8/5 

Sushi Q salmon roll is so much tastier !!  

There are 3 flavours to choose for your soup-based ramen, namely, Shiro (onion oil), Kuro (special fried shallot with garlic oil) and Musashi (special homemade chilli oil).

I order two types of flavour soup based Kuro and Musashi. 

This is Musashi Soup based. For me it doesn't taste spicy at all. 

Ramen Texture : 4/10

Pork : 7/10

Egg : 9/10 

Soup : 3.5/10  

Price : 2/10 

Overall : 5.1/10 

Though the ramen indeed have the freshly made taste compare to those packet noodle ones, other than that there is nothing to say about. 

The soup base it nice, I drank quite a lot AND I END UP drinking Lots of WATER !! perhaps it contain too much of MSG????? :( 

The only thing I like is the half egg and the pork. The egg is perfectly made, that the egg white and yolk is so soft enough but not raw. Very good skills. 

The pork belly taste nice, well marinated.

Overall, the price is indeed expensive, RM 30 for each bowl. 

In my opinion, is not worth to go. I rather eat something else like Wantan Mee....
