Nana Green Tea Pt2

Aside from The Garden, Nana green tea do have another newly located shop at lower ground floor of 1Utama. The surrounding at 1 utama are far more comfy than the one at the Garden but they do offer the same menu. So, do check out my previous post for the review :)

 Chicken Cutlet Curry

Chicken are well fried and in big portion and mix with the fruity and sweet japanese curry.

The curry are thick unlike the one they used in udon.

Especially to japanese curry lover do give a try.

Chicken Teriyaki (can't rmb the full name)

If you're not going for curry but craving for chicken , do try the teriyaki even though this dish are not one of the lunch menu set. No regrets. 

Chicken are grilled to tender, juicy as thigh part are being used.

It comes with salad dressed with sesame sauce and mayo mashed potato if im not mistaken,

But, this meal are a bit heavy since it have potatoes and rice at the same time, 

Hojicha parfait 

Hojicha is actually roasted green tea, so it taste a bit smoky.

Top layer: Cream, Hojicha ice cream, red bean paste, corn flakes and jelly coated with hojicha

The top layer give different surprise in texture and taste each bite.

 The hojicha ice cream give bitter taste and cream texture, 

red bean paste give a sticky struture and sweet taste,

 Cream on top give a creamy texture and milky flavor 

Corn flakes as usual crunchy texture

Lastly jelly, roasted hojicha with er soft texture

The combination of all above made an perfect starting not too sweet, not too bitter every taste in the right portion.

Lower Layer: Vanilla ice cream, Hojicha and jelly

The vanilla ice cream used is always my favourite, it have the creamy taste as McDonald ice cream but much more softer texture. It is a good refresh before tasting the Hojicha.

Hojicha are bitter but the jelly slightly reduce the bitterness

Overall: This is worth a try but definitely the green tea parfait at the previous post i personally preferable. 

Do check out the previous post, thanks and enjoy!

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.

Senya Izakaya 鲜家 @ Publika

This restaurant was hidden at one end of the Publika but the outside was decorated with Japanese Rice wine bottle. The restaurant are run by a Japanese and you're definitely warmly by the shop owner once you step in the shop. The restaurant are divided into 2 part which is the smoking area and the non-smoking area. Basically, customer had to order their food through ipad provided and the serving time are short which even though the restaurant are full house. Give a two thumbs up on service! 

Food: 

 

Grilled Pork With Half Boiled Egg Don 

This is the must-have in the restaurant which steal my heart and made me forget to take photo of others food . 

One little bowl of don had more than 10 pieces of pork slice, half boiled egg, pickled and rice. 

the pork slice are grilled to a slightly crispy but the fat still remain it juiciness. Pork slice are grilled with teriyaki sauce and sprinkle with sesame seed, teriyaki bought up the sweetness of the pork and sesame give a nice ending for the pork. Japanese rice are used in the don and it are cooked to perfection. 

Pork Neck Skewer RM5.50

This is one of the recommendation of the day. It differ from the don it because this was just grilled with salt which let you taste the original taste of the meat but their grilling skill are fabulous. One skewer consist of 3 piece of pork neck so its basically quite worth the price.

Shoyu Ramen RM1x

This ramen look simple on the menu but this is the taste i had been i longing and must have when my trip to Japan,

The ramen come with 2 slice of char siew, seaweed, fish cake and spring onions.

The soup base taste clear but it remain it sweetness and pork are well cooked till it melts in mouth 

Senya Izakaya not only offer the variety on pork but they also do prepare variety of seafood. So, please do try out the restaurant even though you're not a big fan of pork. 

 Total  Bill Cost: 

1 Shoyu Ramen

1 Pork Neck Skewer

1 Grilled Pork With Half Boiled Egg Don

1 Ashashi Beer 

1 Green Tea 

 + Tax

RM79

Personally think that the price range are affordable and it totally worth every single penny you paid!
