Tokyo Pastry @ Avenue K

Tokyo Pastry is a good place to had your tea time since it location is convenience but instead of their dessert i give a try on their main course which is the fusion of Japanese and Western cuisine.

 Seafood Aglio Olio RM23

Pasta was cook to Al-Dente but the seasoning are quite disappointing .

Herbs are overpowering others ingredients, the prawn and scallop barely can taste their taste. 

Not really worth for a second try, 

Tokyo Burger  RM15

Burger with matcha bun and grilled teriyaki chicken come with side salad and huge portion of Chips.

Strong taste of green tea can be tasted and chicken tight are used as the meat part. 

Chicken are cook to the right timing and it is well marinate.

Upper bun was perfect but the lower part bun was soaked in teriyaki sauce causes the bun became too soak-y. 

Overall, i will stick back to their  dessert, nothing really impressed me in the main course menu.

Fong Lye Taiwanese Restaurant 蓬莱茶房台湾料理 @ The Gardens

Apart from Nana's Green Tea and sushi zanmai, Fong Lye Taiwanese Restaurant is another long queue restaurant in the Gardens. It mainly serving the Taiwanese famous cuisine like 3 Variety Supreme Diced Chicken (三杯鸡), Spare ribs  (红糟排骨). As this restaurant is an non-halal restaurant, so it does offer pork in the meal. 

 Sweet Potato Ball （地瓜球）

A overwhelming sweet potato taste once you bite which left a good first impression to the dish/

The deep fried sweet potato ball are not oily and it also have the crispy outer layer and chewy inter layer which make the dish interesting. 

BBQ Pork set meal - RM19.80

As a pork lover, this dish actually made me have the will to visit this restaurant once a week.

The pork slice they used are not fatty but they manage to cook at the right tenderness. 

Kimchi just like those we can get from all supermarkets nothing taste really special, but it goes along with meal.

3 Variety Supreme Diced Chicken Set (三杯鸡).

I think this is their signature dish, as i look at all the table  8 out of 10 had this dish on their table.

Sauce 三杯鸡 is actually, one "cup" of soy sauce, one "cup" of rice wine and one "cup" of oyster sauce. 

Personally thought that the dish are quite salty but it goes really well with rice. Even though I'm not really a big fans of herbs when comes to Chinese cuisine but the herbs did a magic on as it lessen the saltiness and it give a refreshing taste to the chicken.  

All Sets come with (white rice or rice with minced meat), 3 side dish of the day and Soup of the day

NANA's GREEN TEA @ The Gardens Mall

Nana's green tea is one of the current long queue restaurant because of their Parfiat. The average waiting hour during the lunch time would be around 15-20 minutes. Even though nana's green tea have a long waiting time but their waiter did a great service to help you during your waiting.

 Chicken Karage Curry Udon + Green Tea ( Set Lunch Meal) RM18.8

The udon are soft and the chicken are fried to tender but the only disappointment is the curry are too watery. Slightly thicken curry will make the dish to perfection. Overall are acceptable.

 Tori Soboro Don + Green Tea ( Set Meal RM18.8)

Tori Soboro Don is the minced chicken with bean sprout and pouched egg. 

This dish gain a two thumbs up and my all time favourite  in this restaurant. 

The pouched egg are watery enough to cover the dryness of rice. 

The minced meat neither salty or tasteless. 

Everything in the bowl accompanied each other well.

Wakame Udon (seaweed Udon)

This udon is a vegetarian choice. Its consists of seaweed, spring onion and egg. 

The ingredients may sounds simple but it cooked a perfect bowl of udon. 

But too bad this dish is not in the set lunch menu but is a worth for trying.

Matcha Shiratama Parfait @ RM 18.80 

The main and popular dish in the shop.

Since Parfait is design for us to taste the different layer in a cup than i will describe it layer by layer

Upper: Whipped Cream + Green Tea Ice Cream + green Tea Cookies + Red Beans

At top layer, the whipped cream are not too oily and red bean are given in a right amount/

Green Tea Ice cream: The exact taste I been searching since i back from Japan.

Whipped Cream and red beans are good to neutralize the slightly bitterness of green tea ice cream. 

Cookie. it taste bitter at the first bite but the more you bite the tastier and sweeter it get 

Lower: Corn flakes + Vanilla ice cream + Green Tea Jelly. 

Vanilla ice cream: a hidden card in the cup. The ice cream taste creamy and milky but they also have the softness and smoothness that found in FroYo.

Corn Flakes: Give a crunchy feel to the ending 

Green Tea Pudding: A great hint for ending a dessert, that not that overwhelmed taste,

Even though the price of a Parfait is equal to a set lunch meal but it is a must try dessert in the shop. Friendly staff and a perfect meals are the reason attract me back to Nana's Green Tea.

Tokyo Teppan & Tokyo Don @ Pavillion

Tokyo Teppan / Tokyo Don is actually located at the Tokyo Street of Pavilion. Both shop shares the same menu and there are right beside each and another. Currently, Groupon had made an offer to Tokyo Teppan which you can choose between 5 meals for RM38 for 2 pax.  The 5 set meals include, Grilled Salmon Set, Grilled Saba Set. Shake Don ( fried salmon Don), Chicken Teriyaki Don  amd Chicken Tatsu Don. Each Groupon voucher comes with 2 set meals 2 chawanmushi and 1 green tea ice cream.

Chawanmushi and Salad

Chawanmushi may look simple and plain when served but the egg texture is soft and ingredients used in it was full and rich. Chicken and crab meat can be found in the chawanmushi but too bad it is lack of mushrooms. 

The Stir-fried vegetable

Stir-fried vegetable served when you order teppan set. Cabbage,bean sprout, carrot and spring onion can be found. Overall not too oily and dash of black peppers give a boost the dish.

 Grilled Salmon Teppan Set 

The Set comes with 2 Piece of Salmon, Tofu, Miso soups, sauce and Fruits.

The Salmon are fresh unlike others tempeyaki shop that sometime you can taste the stink taste.

Chicken Teriyaki Don

Chicken tights  are cook to tender with teriyaki sauce and topped with sesame seed.

Rice below are well prepared neither soggy or hard. it actually taste good even without the teriyaki sauce from chicken. 

'

Green Tea Ice Cream

The ice cream are creamy and soft. The taste are less bitter compare to the one outside. A nice wrap up for the meals. 

Basically, the offer is worth buying and definitely a worth to visit place even without promotions. Will visit again to try their combo don or ramen.
