Hajime Japanese Restaurant

Mar 30th

Posted by syenw in Food

Just back from having nice dinner at this restaurant with a best friend. I always wanted to try the japanese food at this restaurant after listening so much good comments from colleagues.So here is it….

The environment really nice and comfort… I can’t take a nice photos on the restaurant environment so I din’t post it. The surounding really dark and i don’t want to use flash which might disturb others.

Well, these are the food we ordered… (Sorry that Photo 1 & 2 a bit blur )
1. California handroll – RM 8.00 and spider temaki(soft shell crab handroll) – RM 10.00

2. Saba wit teriyaki sauce ( don’t really like it because it is a bit dry) – RM 20.00

3. California Cheese Maki – Rm 24.00

4. Hajime Lady Set – RM 55.00 (worth it as the set portion is big and serve with cawanmushi and desert)

Closer shoot on the lady set…
Fresh and nice sahshimi…. love it a lot…

Black sesame ice cream – I don’t really like it coz i dont like sesame…

.
Overall the food is nice.Too sad that there are only two of us else we can try more dishes…
Besides, Hajime also serve Fugu(河豚 : ふぐ,), the Japanese word for pufferfish.U can see it from Hajime’s logo.

Heard that pufferfish is lethally poisonous if prepared incorrectly and fugu is one of the most celebrated and notorious dishes in Japanese cuisine.Really wish to try it but it comes in season. Maybe try it next time…

上个星期，一个朋友带我去吃台湾著名的蚵仔面线。。。
感觉没什么特别，就只是一碗面线，外加两颗蚵仔和一点辣椒而已。
真的有点不习惯那整碗充满蚵味道的汤底，不过还值得一试啦。。。
Handmade Oyster Mee Sua (蚵仔麵線) – RM 6.00

XXL Crispy Chicken (超大鸡排) – RM 6.00
鸡肉很干，不那么好吃。还是uncle bob 的鸡排比较好吃！

Seafood Tempura (甜不辣) – RM 5.50
用手制的海鮮面团制成的，炸至金黃色然后加入一些特制的香粉，挺好吃地！

原来这间台湾小吃店在马来西亚，新加坡和印尼都有分店，我还真的有点 “out” 咧！！

火烧心

Mar 24th

我得的病真的越来越奇怪！！之前是耳鸣，现在则是胃痛+ 火烧心！！
.
什么是火烧心？
火烧心是因为胃部的内容物逆流至食道，而感觉到胸骨后又灼热甚至痛的感觉。
每当我吞嚥食物或喝水都会有一股难以言喻的灼热感和胸痛。
.
*Research from Google*
火烧心的症状与胃食道逆流疾病（GERD）有密切的关联。
在正常情况，人体的胃有上下两个开口，分别为上端的胃食道喷门和下端的胃十二指肠幽门，平常这两个门的括约肌都紧闭，只有食物通过时才打开，以免胃酸流出。然而罹患这种胃食道逆流疾病的人，胃食道括约肌比平常人松弛，常常因为咳嗽、平躺、接触刺激性食物、饮用酒精、咖啡、服用特殊药物而引起胃酸逆流，所以会有这种特殊的火烧心症状。
.
現代人因為工作繁忙，連進食時間亦不固定，常常早午餐合為一餐，而晚餐多於工作結束後才能進食，許多人晚餐時間已接近就寢時間，故飽餐後不久就臥床休息，進食後胃液分泌大量增加，加上進食使胃部飽脹，胃內壓力亦升高；通常食道下段壓力較胃部約高10～15毫米汞柱，以防止食道胃逆流；但飽餐後即臥床，睡眠時食道蠕動及胃部消化均減緩，因此食道向下的蠕動及胃部排空受阻。
.
如果不治療胃食道逆流性疾病，就會引起嚴重的併發症；如果沒有適時控制，咳嗽、失聲、食道出血及食道狹窄等併發症發生的可能性亦增加；有極少數的患者，在試過適當之治療，仍無法有效改善其症狀者，才需推薦其手術治療。
.
防止食道胃逆流之道
現時職場競爭激烈，精神壓力倍增，加上晚餐進食習慣的改變，促成文明病“火燒心”的發生。近年營養學家倡導營養補充應偏重於早午餐，午睡應避免或不宜過長，儘可能晚餐時間不要與就寢時間接近，亦避免過飽。飽餐後不宜馬上臥床休息，巧克力、碳酸飲料、高油脂食物、辛辣食物或煙酒，甚至是蕃茄汁，都會影響食道括約肌鬆馳促進食道胃逆流，亦建議不宜過量，更不適宜於睡前食用。飯後一支煙不可取，但飯後嚼食一下口香糖卻值得一試。
.

现在我只可以好好地待在家里休息，吃药和吃白粥！！

吴克群 – 我的自传

Another new song by 吴克群 which wrote about his singing life and Jay Chou’s name was included in the lyrics le… quit special.
You may listen lively from here

吴克群 – 我的自传
记得那年我十六岁
我定下了人生的志愿
就抛开一切我要出唱片
从此以后我唱歌唱到爽
政治太复杂我没有办法
数学不够强我放弃从商
决定学那刘德华
我要我要我要做偶像
当时年纪小真的哪里怕
比棒棒堂冲比超女还壮
一个人背着行囊
我要到台北去上学堂
考上大学该学不学
比赛一堆对对对对妈妈说的对
我这叫做不务正业
但我相信总有一天唱到对
好死不死被我弄对
有了公司要和我签约
要帮我出唱片
喔喔接下来会怎样
就请你给我个答案
就请你给我个答案
答案不久马上揭晓
过了五个月我二十一岁
出了第一张唱片叫做那
一直没发现
没错大家真的没发现
大家发现一个伦他叫周杰伦
我慢慢沉沦剩我一个人
听着双截棍
接下来只好去演戏
拍拍偶像剧看能不能东山再起
也许这是我的命
我拼了命磨练演技
但太多人与人的游戏
有时我真的有苦无心
我不想再继续做戏
让我做我自己
就请你给我个答案
就请你给我个答案
揹了吉他拿个拨片
我想要来组个band 决心玩音乐
我才了解不是我是谁
谁是我是谁不是重点
重点是站在舞台上看着舞台下
就这一首歌大家齐唱和
我们的心里都有一首歌
是不是那老天听到
我的运气又怎来到
一个有心人他听到
田先生他问我
要不要加入种子音乐
就请你给我个答案
就请你给我个答案
过了不久出了新歌
一首我的心声就叫做吴克群
我真的只不过想唱歌给你听
后来大舌头接着将军令
突然有人说我是抄袭
树大招风不是没道理
曲风也可以抄袭吗
假如那首歌礙到你
我想这首歌你一定不满意
我只能说对不起
敬个礼放个屁臭死你
因為這首歌它不算rap
我只能算它是数来宝
跟很多数来宝歌手一样
因为字太多所以你知道只好
就请你给我个答案
就请你给我个答案
但是一晃眼出了三张片
也过了几年整个唱片圈
大变大变大变大变
胸部跑在衣服前面
歌手躲在绯闻的后面
写歌的人吃方便面
方便都不再方便
全世界都是狗仔队
好像我们不对
他们是不是一对
反正不对的上了报纸才对
唱歌的人跑去拍电影
写歌的人开始不知踪影
每个人都开始宣布从影
老歌开始越来越好听
唱片公司自己买唱片
歌迷的心一变再变
全都怪景气怪政治地球天气不对
我的天这是什么世界
我们什么时候怪自己
知道自己不对
对不起歌迷是我们不对
就请你给我个答案
就请你给我个答案
就请你给我个答案
就请你给我个答案

小肥羊(连锁)火锅城(XiaoFeiYang)

刚做完工，就和朋友到这儿吃晚餐。
那时淋了一点雨，冷冷的。。。吃火锅暖暖肚子超棒的！
一进去就闻到浓浓的汤味，肚子更饿了。

鸳鸯锅底 (combination soup) – RM 22.00
看起来很象之前吃过的老妈子麻辣火锅，可这个火锅的汤并不辣。
我从来都没有吃过这么好汤底的火锅。。。简直就是材料十足！难怪只是汤就要 RM 22.00 了。

三种不同的特佩酱汁和豆腐

香港菜心 (Hong Kong lettuce) – RM 5.00
金针菇　(Golden mushroom) – RM 6.00
吊片猪肉丸 (Cuttle fish & pork ball)- RM　8.00

羔羊肉片 (Mutton Slice) – RM 10.00
猪肉片（Pork Slice) – RM 9.00
超多的肉片！！！羊肉片超好吃的!
一想起：
把那一片片的羊肉片，放在滚汤里刷一刷，然后沾点酱，放进口里那种口感！！
哇不得了，让我又想去吃了！

肥羊粉 (Special fei yang noodle) – RM 6.00
煮熟了就会软软变透明，吃起来感觉有点像冬粉，软软的而且还充满汤味。
可是我个人并不这么喜欢那么粗又软绵绵的“东西”

幸好我和我朋友没有叫太多的食物，单单这几样已经让我们两个吃到很饱了。

Another blog on japanese food… I had few japanese meal within a week because my CTO loves it a lot. Kiku-Zakura has a few branches in KL, the branch I went this time is located at Avenue K (opposite Kim Gary）.It was lunch hours and very few people if compare to Kim Gary.
I forgot to bring camera, so just snap a few photos using my colleague’s hp LG KU990.
Comfort and relaxing environment with nice ambience.

Set I ordered: Sashimi + Tempura + Chicken Set (about RM35-40)*can’t really remember the price

Closer view on the sashimi

Tempura prawn and vege

Chicken teppanyaki set

Side dishes: Fried Dumpling

Side dishes: Grilled squid with teriyaki sauce

Side dishes: squid

Total bills for about 11 person is RM 500++, consider cheap if compare to Kampachi.
Special thanks to my CTO for the meal.
Overall, the food taste good but I still prefer Kampachi if comparing to Kampachi….
FYI, I will try HIJIME soon… another famous + super expensive japanese restaurant.

Always heard about Kampachi buffet at Equitorial Hotel is very nice but haven’t got chance to try it.Last week,I went to this new opened restaurant at Pavillion with coulleagues and CTO（Eric) who came from Singapore. Although it is a bit expensive but the food really nice and worth a try

Temptating sushi photos in the menu.We took some time to decide what to order as all of the food look so delicious from menu!

The comfort and luxurious environment.

My manager（Ernest) is so happy when his food was served… keep asking us to take photo on it! His rice set: Gyu Katsu Don （RM35.00） with sliced beef, cawamushi and miso soup.All rice set served with fruits too.

Eric and MingWai ordered the same set which is Sushi Bento （RM42.00）. It includes salmon sashimi, tuna sashimi,grilled unagi, salmon sushi and etc. They said the sashimi really fresh and taste good in thick slices.

The set i choosed was Salmon rice set with Teriyaki sauce （RM32.00）.The salmon is really juicy with teriyaki sauce!!

Set choosed by Nick was Saba rice set with Shioyaki （RM30.00）

These are the two side dishes for sharing.
This is the best among all–>>Rainbow Maki （RM32.00） (*Thumbs up*)

Recommended Kampachi Maki （RM48.00）

The portion of the rice set with the add on of side dishes really large for us !
Therefore we din’t ordered desert!!
Next time I must keep my stomach space for my favourite greentea with red bean ice-cream!

佛光山的东禅寺

为期22天的2008佛光山东禅寺平安灯暨花艺展经在星期天晚上（2月24日）正式圆满结束，
而我也赶得及在最后一天观光这闻名许久的胜地
约5.45p.m. 到那里，看了看平面图。。。整个地方还真大
「子德芬芳」花坛与大灯笼：

到处都挂满这些灯笼

许愿树（统称），由于是最后一天，许愿卡也没卖了，所以我没得许愿：（

虽然是最后一天，可是人潮还很多

这就是十二生肖花园里的其中一个–〉〉〉金鼠财神

非常喜欢这张照片，可是美中不足，有一个黄灯笼少了条丝带。。。

晚上所有的灯都开了，显得更壮观。。。

其他: (因为有些地方不能拍照所以没照片提供)
