Dinner at Kinoshita Westgate Mall

Happy New Year !!! The greetings came four days later but well at least I did not forget to do so for my first post for year 2014! =))

My after marriage life still goes on and frankly speaking nothing changes except that maybe there will be some house rules laying down soon especially for festival seasons. Anyway, that is not what I want to blog for today. So let's just cut the chase and talk about this little cozy Japanese Restaurant.

Boo and I were checking out Westgate mall which is newly opened for a month and it seems that there are many many big brand restaurants/cafes around. But I have to give credits to my Boo that it was him who saw this little Japanese restaurant.

I think one look from this picture you should have known what it specializes in! BBQ Meats!! BBQ vegetables!!! BBQ seafood! Wahhh!!!! The service staff was so nice as to offer us their private room! Looking at their Menu, other than BBQ foods, they also have hotpots and other side dishes are suitable for an enjoyable dinner with a brunch of friends after a long day's at work. * Hahaha...

Boo and I ordered some sweet cold sake to eat with the BBQ foods and hotpot we have ordered. Sounds a bit too much? Nope, it was only just right potion for the both of us! We had ordered the seafood/pork/chicken set menu C consisting of two big scallops, few pieces of chicken and pork belly plus some cabbages and pumpkin slices. Yummy yummy!

And the picture below shows our second round erhh...the BBQ pork belly slices were just so irresistible for us! All that juicy meats.. =p~~~~~~~

We were actually quite full from the BBQ meats. As the greedy duos, we still go for the hotpot without cancelling the order.

The hotpot consists of bean spouts, onions, some garlic slices and slices of chicken meat. Please do not belittle the taste of the hotpot based on the mentioned ingredients! The secret to this tasty hotpot is its soup base! Heard from the waitress, Beatrice, that the soup was made from the Boss's family passed down secret recipe!

Within minutes, Beatrice stirred the vegetables and meat into the soup and add some chili paste to make it more fragrance, as if it was not enough for me and Boo to not drool on the table!! Ooh... the bean spouts absorbed the essence of the soup, which I can just fed myself only to the bean spouts with some white rice. Nice! The chicken slices tasted like well marinated braised chicken after some time which I recommended to eat when you have almost finished the hotpot. 

No words can describe the food and the warmth we felt in this cozy restaurant. I'm loving it! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
