Koike Shoten @ Bangsar, KL, Malaysia.

Back to hunting yakitori for happy hours, a friend recommended this place. Heh plus on the bonus side they currently have this promo for 2 hours buffet drinks which consists of beer, sake and whisky highball(not sure if the promo is still there).

Okay, as usual after a few drinks forgot which is what. But we ordered the usual suspects, chicken spare parts, skin, tsukune etc. Yes the food is good, gotta give it to the chefs, they did an awesome job. Would lovely come back here again with a bunch of friends feasting and loads of happy hour.

Yakitori Dining FUKUDA @ Desa Sri Hartamas, Kl, Malaysia.

Another session of happy hour and yakitori. This round we checked out this place in Desa Sri Hartamas.

They gave us a free starter, no complains there.

Some alcohol to start the happy hour.

There's always something comfort about mentaiko, slurps.

Good stuff. This place serves good yakitori. I couldn't asked for more, good grub food plus alcohol. I'm a very happy man.

Sumi-Ka @ Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.

One end of the world, ok I might be exaggerating, traffic was horrendous. Luckily the food here made all the journey worth it. Plus I'm always bias when it comes to yakitori, alcohol and good friends.

Menu was simple and straight forward.

Kudos to the chef who did an awesome job grilling the food.

We ordered the usual suspects.

The must order was the beef tongue, superb!

Definitely a good yakitori joint in this part of town. Actually I will go through traffic again for a meal at this place.

Issho Izakaya @ Kallang Wave, Singapore.

First time checking out Kallang Wave, quite surprised as there's quite a few restaurants and makan places here. Anyway main reason was to recce this Jap place as I saw the happy hour promotions not bad. Came here for lunch first to look see look see.

Ordered a Bara Chirashi Don, costs 22sgd++. At first glance the bowl does look pretty and it came with a quail egg, nice touch to it. The shot glass accompanying it was the shoyu so you can pour accordingly on top. Food is decent, staff was attentive and friendly.

If there's one gripe about this place, I was a bit hampered by the portion, a bit small compared to other places. Don't get me wrong, normally by the end of a chirashi bowl, I'll get a bit jelak(too rich) and it fills up my tummy. This round I needed something extra to fill up the spot. I guess rental is high this days? Oh well did I mention they have pretty good deals for happy hours on weekdays? Check out their website.

Rennie's House Of Oxtail @ Jalan Gasing, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia.

I've heard of this place for quite some time, this round I made it a point to check it out as a buddy of mine was raving about it.

Old school neighbourhood pub, no frills joint where you go and have good conversation over some beers with a bunch of friends.

And the reason I'm here today is to check out the oxtail soup, served in a claypot.

Comes with a side of garlic bread. Now after sampling the soup, or should I call it stew, I immediately know why people was raving about the oxtail soup. It bring backs this nostalgic feeling which reminds me of my childhood growing up eating this type of dish on the road or some guest houses. You don't get this kind of good quality soup anymore, maybe I'm bias as the soup invokes some pleasant old memories or maybe I was a bit tipsy hahhh:) Whatever it is, there's no doubt this is one mean bowl of oxtail soup.

Okkudak @ Telok Ayer, Singapore.

Found another gem, we were drinking at Club St, then one of my friends suggested we come here for a quick bite, Korean Fried Chicken. Best decision ever, plus I get to further indulge in soju bombs:)

We ordered an oven baked chicken original (pic above) and fried chicken(think was plum sauce spicy thingy). Both was equally kick ass in their own way. Super addictive and goes well with beers.

The sides white radish was surprisingly refreshing and tasty.

Careful of the sauce covering the chicken, very very addictive. We also ordered a pancake on the side, but after all the cheers totally forgot to take a pic of it. Food is good, soju bombs was good, and its the company that counts.

Little Creatures Brewery Great Hall @ Fremantle, Australia.

A must visit at Freo is the Little Creatures Brewery. Awesome place with good beers and bar grubs. I loved my previous visit at the Melb branch, and this place is bigger, livelier and nicer scenery.

Heh I was here two days in a row to sample the beer, my personal favourite is the pilsner, bright ale, white rabbit pale ale and the pipsqueak apple cider.

View is gorgeous.

Not bad for a weekend lunch crowd huh, packed.

Some greens for starters, a rocket salad. Can't go wrong here as the ingredients are fresh.

Marinated octopus was ok, I expected more. The oysters was absolutely brilliant.

Loved the mussels, Grab some bread and dunk it in the broth. Ask for extra spicy for the added kick.

Salami pizza a bit heavy on the crust, but tasted damn good though.

The aftermath of the mussels and had to take another pic of the beer. I loved the atmosphere here, no frills, good beers, good food with excellent company. Everything was perfect, what a good day to spend my weekend.

IZY Dining And Bar @ Club St, Singapore.

Went for omakase, a bit tipsy by the time we reached, continue with more sake. I probably missed one or two pics. The guy did explained what each dish was, but heh I'll just let the pics explain themselves.

One thing I do remember, the food was excellent, or was it the sake effect. Nah the food was good indeed. We were seated at the back, sort of private, nice setting. The staff was friendly and helpful. Top notch.
