Japanese boy…

I wonder how many of you are old enough to know this song…

Well, it wasn’t one of my favourites then and neither is it now but it certainly was very popular a long time ago.

Anyway, this post is not going to be about any Japanese boy nor is it going to be about a Japanese girl. It’s just that the other day, my daughter made some sushi

…with unagi (grilled eel) or chilli tuna plus cucumber and avocado and with the leftovers, she made a couple of California rolls as well…

I’m not a fan of Japanese food but I do not mind having that once in a while…but I must say what she made tasted pretty nice.

For that same reason, I have not been to this new Japanese restaurant in town – the Zen Japanese Fusion Dining…

…but my daughter went there sometime ago. It used to be a bookstore next to this very popular café next door but they’ve closed down the place and the proprietors of the café has taken over and turned it into this very posh-looking joint serving Japanese food…

She had the unagi roll…

…and the potato salad…

…among a whole lot of other things and she thoroughly enjoyed the food and loved the place.

I understand that it’s quite affordable – 4 absolutely yummy grilled scallops only cost RM4.90, I heard. Perhaps I should drop by myself one of these days to give it a try…
