Can't have enough of Miso

Dining at Miso again, we have been there quite a few times as you can see from my previous blog post about them. I like the ambiance there, and you can always bet on it that there is a table available for you (hehe, exclusive).

Merry Christmas

Ho Ho Ho. Today is Christmas day, how did yours go? As planned, we slept in, open our presents and went out for Dim Sum breakfasts at D'Junction Royal China. Then we went home and napped and woke up for dinner at Miso Japanese Restaurant at Karamunsing Capital. Nothing much I'm afraid, we're not the type who loves to partaaaay, more of a bunch of home bodies.

An update on last nights Lamb Leg

 It was yummy, rather dry on its own, but taste nice with the gravy that comes with the lamb. The cranberry juice and soda water was rather nice too, I'm sipping some right this moment.

Roast lamb with hints of rosemary herbs, smells absolutely lovely. We still have some leftovers in the fridge, maybe we'll heat it up for a snack.

Monica McCarty The Chief

Stayed in bed this morning reading this book, I got it from the Popular Book Sale last month. I rarely buy Scottish Highlander books, this is my first. Of course I have read some before borrowed from the local Sabah State Library while I'm still studying in college, I enjoyed Elizabeth Thornton's Highland Fire, Lord Iain Randall is my first Romance Hero crush *blushes*.

The Chief is base around a highland chief- Tor who bears a huge responsibility of his people's safety while enemies attacks, while he runs around protecting his people, his wife Christina felt somewhat neglected and she would do anything to bring her husband's attention around. Quite an interesting read.

Mimi

 Look who came to join me in bed? Mimi and her son Tommy, Tommy is a major Mama's boy, he would follow his mom around the house, and he still wants to feed on Mama's milk although the two of them are almost the same size ( I suspect Mimi's teats no longer produce milk, but yet Tommy would still sniff around for some)

Tommy

This years Christmas Present

 A wallet from Mum and a new phone from Daddy. My old wallet is battered and peeling, its a complete state of disgrace, now I have a new one and its glittery pink with the lovely gold heart. I always put off buying things that are necessity for myself, most of my money went to books. This phone will be replacing my old Sony Ericson W200i that my dad bought me when I first step into college, it was still functioning well and I don't exactly need a new phone, but who's complaining?

I bought mask sheets from Skin Food for my mum and a new polo shirt for my dad, I really don't know what else to get them as they never want anything particularly except last year where I bought a new wallet, watch and belt for my dad as his are old or broken, my moms gift last year was also something from Skin Food.

Pink Giossardi Wallet

 It's the last one on display, comes in black as well.

Fried Carrot Cake

 We went to Royal China for Breakfast, I've been craving fried carrot cake recently, too bad this is way too spicy for my taste, but it successfully stopped my cravings.

Dim Sum

 Not sure if I've take a picture of this previously, here's another one just in case. Not very nice taste wise, maybe its because of the strong parsley taste. Go right ahead if you like parsley. For the rest of the dim sum you can read HERE.

Later at night, we went to have dinner at Miso Japanese Restaurant Many repeated dishes, but we've also tried something new this time:

Forgotten its proper name

 I especially like the seaweed thing, they taste so sweet and refreshing. There are baby octopus and jelly fish too.

Spinach fried with butter sauce

Have to eat some greens to balance out a mostly seafood and meat meal. Taste like usual fried spinach but you could also taste a faint hint of butter.

Salt grilled Shake

 Suddenly crave salt grilled salmon, this is nicely done.

Teppanyaki Squid

 Not too springy, there are chewiness but not too chewy like you're chewing on bubble gum. Well seasoned.

Teppanyaki Beef Skewers

 Nicely flavored, soft chewy beef slices wrapped around a cube of spring onion. Grilled to perfection, yums.

Gindara Shioyaki

 Never could forget the salt grill cod fish, its a must order for us in any Japanese Restaurant.

Vegetable Tempura

 A mix of mushrooms, veggies and sweet potatoes deep fried in Tempura batter. Nice and crunchy. Dessert is honey dew cubes in coconut milk, a lovely light and sweet concoction to finish a meal.

We loved dining at Miso although the pricing is a tad more expensive elsewhere, but their service is quick and efficient and their ingredients very fresh, they have some of the rare stuff that wasn't found in other restaurants in KK. I cannot give them enough free advertisement in this blog and will continue to do so. Do apply for their membership, the discounts are absolutely worthwhile especially when you dine there during birthday and anniversary.

Well, this basically concludes our Christmas Day this year, after this I'm probably going back to read more books. Merry Christmas again to all my readers, God bless you all.

Miso Japanese Restaurant 3

Its a new month again, time really does flies, doesn't it. I'm now in my third month of blogging, I must keep this up. I hoped you won't get bored with Japanese Food, cause here is another one again. We were too fond of Japanese and Korean food, I must persuade my family to try other types of food. (Psst, there is at least one more Japanese post in my drafts, I'll try to save if for some other times instead of bombarding this blog solely with Japanese cuisine at a time)

Back to Miso Japanese Restaurant, the food there is too good not to be missed. I think its better to order a few individual dishes and share among family members rather than ordering a huge set which nobody could finish by themselves.

*p/s: For some reason, either my computer, Mozilla Firefox or Google Chrome will suddenly crash. Does this happen to you guys? Or maybe its the Streamyx?

Grilled oysters, a must order for us

Shake Temaki 

Can I tempt you with some green tea ice-cream?

Gotcha! It's wasabi.

Pregnant smelt

These tiny fish were filled with ripen fish roe inside, they are usually just grilled until nice and crispy you could eat the whole thing from its head to tail.

Looks horrifying here, but its good. 

Salted grill cod

Out of so many different methods of cooking, I prefer my fish rubbed with salt and grilled. I'm not really fond of it coated in sweet sauce. Smooth, luscious flesh with the faint taste of the fish oil and a hint of salt, swoon. Add a squirt of lemon juice, simply but so darn good.

Gyoza

Their Gyoza's are really good, crispy on the outside with generous meat and prawns fillings inside.

Battered deep fried squid

Nicely battered squids, crispy and chewy.

California hand roll

Mentaiko

It looks prettier when served, but we ate it half way before remembering to take a photo. I always wanted to try Mentaiko, this is the first time I did. This is a marinated Pollock roe served on a bed of grated radishes and its salty, you're supposed to eat this with rice, but unfortunately this arrives when all the rice is almost gone, so we couldn't possibly finish it, such a waste. I wanted to ta-pau it, but we're afraid it might not retain its freshness.

Ending with complimentary desserts, as usual
