The very attractive presentation of Kyoguku Sashimi Moriawase was served with shiny pinks and reds sitting on top of shaved ice to keep the low temperature and ensure its freshness till the last piece we had.
The seven varieties of fresh appetizing sashimi were Toro (Tuna belly), Hamachi (Yellow tail), Shake belly (Salmon belly), Hotate (Scallop), Maguro (Tuna), Ika (cuttlefish) and Mekajiki (Swordfish).
Kyoguku Sashimi Moriawase (RM205)
Fu-Rin Japanese Restaurant I 07
Tempura Moriawase (RM45)Soft Shell Crab (RM45/portion)
The soft shell crab was well fried to golden brown. Enjoy it while still hot for its crispy and crunchy texture.
For the tempura, we had a mixture of deep fried prawns as well as vegetables, mushrooms, and potatoes. It was light without much oily feeling. The plate decoration was awesomely eye catching, a feast for eye as well before all went to our tummy!
Fu-Rin Japanese Restaurant I 08
Gindara Teriyaki (RM62)
by www.malaysianfoodie.com I
If you love fish, Gindara Teriyaki is definitely the
recommended dish. The fresh cod fish tasted tenderly and
goes wonderfully well with the teriyaki sauce.
Nice combination!

Teppanyaki Chicken (RM35)Wa-Gyu Teppanyaki (RM360)
by www.malaysianfoodie.com I
The Wa-Gyu Teppanyaki was perfectly 70% cooked as the meat tasted juicy and tender inside. With its bite-sized portion, customer can eat it gracefully with the chopstick, along with other servings like veggies and fried garlic.
If can’t take beef, customer can also opt for the Teppanyaki Chicken. Well cooked with light sauce and tender meat, another worth recommended dish!
Fu-Rin Japanese Restaurant I 11
Soba/Udon (RM35)
Smooth soba noodles served in light and clear soup, with a
hint of the taste of seaweed and mushroom. Slurp it while hot
for a simple satisfaction.
Fu-Rin Japanese Restaurant I 12
Beef Garlic Fried Rice (RM12)Garlic Fried Rice (RM12)
by www.malaysianfoodie.com I
If you like garlic, you will definitely fall in love with this Garlic Fried Rice. The rice fried till golden brown and dry, it smelt very fragrant too.
Want to have more flavours? Customer can choose to have the Beef Garlic Fried Rice that chef added in the chewy small cube pieces of beef to level up the texture.
Fu-Rin Japanese Restaurant I 13
Black Sesame Ice Cream (RM15)Wasabi Ice Cream (RM15)
If you are tired with the usual green tea and red bean flavours of ice cream, what about WASABI? Do not get fooled by its greenish white innocent colour, although felt less kick compare to the paste, you can still have that strong flavour and light burning sensation at your throat. Unique flavour, calling to the entire wasabi lover!
Not fancy about being too adventurous? Try the black sesame ice cream. Not too sweet but full of thick sesame flavour. Nice!

RETRO KITCHENSS2, Petaling Jaya, Selangor
Retro Kitchen, a small restaurant in SS2 Petaling Jaya, serving the authentic Asian fusion and Italian cuisine in a comfy environment. The restaurant handles catering and serves various types of functions too.
Located right above 7-11 with a bright red and yellow signage, it was very easy to spot the restaurant even from far. Though it may looked a little shabby from the outside, what waiting for us upstairs was some surprisingly nice food.
Stepping up the narrow staircase till the end, we were welcomed with a homey retro scene, just as the restaurant named. Lots of posters featuring artists from 50's and 60's such as Bob Marley and The Who, movies posters like West Side Story and The Sting, and pieces of vinyl records were filled almost every corner of the restaurant. Pots, radios, irons that used in old days were also seen lining up gracefully in the cabinet as part of the retro deco.

Mushroom Bruschetta (RM8.90/5 pcs)
Bruschetta here was big in portion, as the thick sliced crusty
baguette was served with sauté mixed mushroom and really
creamy brown sauce.
Retro Kitchen I 18
New Zealand Lamb Chop (RM22)
by www.summerkid123.blogspot.com I
The chef chose the lamb shoulder from New Zealand to pan
fried and baked it till 70% cooked. This delicious lamb chop
was tender soft and juicy, served with homemade sauce,
mashed potatoes and sauté mix vegetables.
Retro Kitchen I 19
Classic Chicken Chop (RM13)
Marinated butter fried
chicken and pan fried
till golden brown.
Served with
flavourful homemade
mushroom sauce that
was rich and creamy,
and fries plus
coleslaw too.
Retro Kitchen I 20
This was my favourite dish! At first I thought it was a pizza dough base, but it surprised me as I tucked in one piece, it was deep fried beaded chicken fillet that topped with tomato sauce and ham gratin of cheese.
Though it was deep fried and with heavy cheese topping, it was not that oily and not cloying at all. It came with fries and coleslaw as side dishes.

Chicken Parmigiana (RM18)
Retro Kitchen I 21
Linguine Duck with Mushroom, Coriander & Chilli Paddy (RM18)
Another lovely pasta with mushroom, but this one was added
with duck meat and duck skin to level up the flavour. Chilli
paddy gave a hint of spiciness and drizzles of crispy fried
shallot made the dish a little Western and Asian fusion.
Nonetheless, it was tasty, al dente.

Mixed Mushroom Spaghetti with Basil Leaves & Olive Oil Retro's Special Lamb Fried Rice (RM11)
Loving pasta in any types, but often we avoid pasta that cooked in Aglio Olio style as we afraid with the oiliness infused though olive oil. But, the chef here handled it well and balance. Every strand of spaghetti was lightly coated with olive oil, just right and not too much, making the whole dish simple, healthy, filling and delicious.
For those who prefer rice, how about Retro's Special Lamb Fried Rice that served with pan fried egg and papadum. Different from the usual fried rice, here was cooked with pieces of lamb, capsicum, veggie and chilli. Full of flavour!
Retro Kitchen I 23
Retro's Trio Pizza (RM16)
Sinfully delicious

Lamb Shank (RM28)
The lamb shank was
braised till tender and soft.
It easily fall from bone
and full of flavour. A little
gamey, but not
overwhelmed. Good value
for the big portion as it
served with mix vegetable
and mashed potatoes too.
Retro Kitchen I 25
Red Bean Soup (RM2.90)
Sweet Trio Special
The Sweet Trio includes mini dessert of Tiramisu, Walnut Brownies and Lime Crumble. It is to fullfill the crave of sweet tooth, allowing customer to enjoy three types of dessert at the same time.
Retro Kitchen, though being small, their vintage decorations and arts were good enough to bring you back to the priceless days of 50's and 60's, while enjoying a great variety of comfort food. A nice place that shouldn't be missed.

After eating the ‘Food for the Gods’, I realised how lucky it

‘Food for the Gods’ is a chocolate flavoured brownie cake.
It has a dense texture filled with dates and walnuts.

Garden Salad (RM9)
We started our meal
with the fresh garden
salad that had green
salad leaves, cherry
tomatoes, cucumbers
and onion served with
house dressings.
To have it served with
ham, tuna and cheese
included would just
need to pay extra
RM3.
Skippys Pizza I 41
Looking at the name
‘Meat Lover Pizza’,
you can expect a
satisfied craving for
pork. Served with
toppings like pork
bacons, pork hams,
pork pepperonis,
minced pork and BBQ
sauce, seriously, any
meat lover can resist
this?

For those who like
veggies, you may try
the Marc's Special
Pizza. The toppings
were quite unique
namely pork hams,
baby spinaches,
mushrooms, garlic
and egg. Yet, it was a
nice combination and
tasted good with the
sauce.

A pizza made out of
minced pork, baked
beans, corn and
jalapenos, the Mexican
Pizza did manage to
excite the senses.
Served on a thin
crispy crust, it was a
‘porkish’ delight from
the moment you sink
your teeth in.

Another unique
flavoured pork pizza
was Fay's Special
with a combination of
pork ham, minced

pineapples. It was
truly enjoyable as the
pizzas were served
piping hot from the
kitchen.

Pork Rendang (RM15)Pork Ribs in 7 Sauces (RM20)
Besides pizza, I found Skippys Pizza's Pork Ribs quite nice too. Marinated and served in 7 sauces, the photo does not do it justice as it tasted way better than it looks. The flavourful sauce make you want to lick the bones as well!
The Pork Rendang was really fragrant to begin with and tasted just as good with spices infused. Almost all the dishes served at Skippys Pizza had pork included in it one way or another, so meat lovers rejoice.
Vinegar Pork Trotter was served too at Skippys Pizza that
alike the Chinese style. It was well made with the fragrant
vinegar taste as well as the tender pork with soft melting
layers of fat. A dish to be enjoyed in moderation as too much
of pork trotters is not too good for the health.

The chicken wings were well marinated and deep fried till us able to smell the fragrant from distance.
We ended our meal with some big German Curry Sausages. Served with their special curry sauce, the sausages were truly a juicy treat.
