Though I go to you
ceaselessly along dream paths,
the sum of those trysts
is less than a single glimpse
granted in the waking world.

-translated  from Japanese, Poem No. 658 in the Kokin Wakashu written by Ono no Komachi-

The Mentaiko Spaghetti (RM18.90), cooked al dente, is nice. When tossed, the surface of each strand is lightly coated with roe which ensures that each mouthful is filled with a burst of flavour.  The Crunchy Stewed Pork Slice (RM6.90) comes in thin slices of rolled pork belly, almost gelatinous in texture with a nice bite to it and coated in a sweet sauce.  The alfalfa sprouts that come with the pork belly provide good contrast to the flavours.  For dessert, we had their Cheesecake (RM6.90) which was very mild flavoured and plain, suitable for those who like a lighter textured cheesecake.

Kissaten’s decor is attractive in its simplicity.  Stark white, it doesn’t feel cold at all.  The menu has an interesting mix of japanese, chinese and western food from burgers and spaghetti to lam mee and ramen.

  9. Precious Sista: Without a doubt!! ^_^

    lotsofcravings: it’s a photographer’s dream come true!

    citygal: I agree with you. Then again, maybe it’s to cater to the masses who prefer healthier food right now.

    J2Kfm: The green drink is cucumber and bittergourd. But tastes surprisingly pleasant!

    sc: Hahaha. Well, we like to push the boundaries sometimes. 🙂

    Manggy: Yes, it looks lovely, doesn’t it? I’d love to make that someday.

    Selba: Thanks…I love that pic too. 🙂

  10. Looks like a great place and the pics are just awesome!! You take your camera with you everytime you eat out?? I have problems taking pics of my own cooking – The Lovely Wife rolls her eyes up each time. Maybe she’s just jealous of all the babes that I ‘meet’ online?? HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

  12. Ooo… so Zen lah your pictures, and yet entirely appetizing. (Why you don’t want my nice pup to go near your pretty puppies? At least she can see where she’s going, unlike her dogmum.)

    Looks like Dharm above has the SFoFPT syndrome (spouse frowns on food picture taking). 😉

  13. Mestilah I visit tempat ni… Not that I’m a Nipponmaniac (though I’m slowly veering that way), but any minimalist, Zen-like oasis does call to me… Ah, a slow cuppa green and a good read and that’s a perfect veeeekend for me! 😀
