Piggy Tail Restaurant @ Bangsar Porky and Piggylicious Meal Review


These days, restaurant that serves pork dishes are going upmarket with the offering of specialty pork which ensures premium quality meat. Best Restaurant To Eat was invited by Open Rice for a special piggylicious food review at Piggy Tail Restaurant located at 39, Jalan Telawi 3, Bangsar Baru, Kuala Lumpur.


The pork served here is from Sakura Pork where the pigs are raised using traditional and conventional method and are fed with vegetable grain feed only. This ensures that the meat does not have a gamy smell and the quality of the meat is ensured.


At Piggy Tail, it is a food adventure where western dishes are cooked with a twist of oriental flavours, thereby giving your taste bud an enticing experience. The decor at Piggy Tail is one of a leisure and open concept with al fresco dining at the front of the restaurant.


Our food review started off with a special starters/appetizer which is Pork Corn (RM16.00). This is a deep-fried chunks of Sakura Pork which is peppered with secret spices and served with Special BBQ Mayo. The pork meat used were of a special cut which has a balanced thin layer of skin, fat, meat and gives a very crisp texture and best paired with a glass of wine or cold beer.


This is then followed by Wild Mushroom Soup (RM18.00) This soup was cooked with 3 types of chopped mushroom, white cream and topped with a sprinkle of truffle oil to gives it an extra oomph to the mushroom.


Our main started with some pasta offering, the first of which is the Premium Pork Aglio Olio (RM25.00). This spaghetti is served with the Grilled Sakura Pork Neck Meat and cooked with Red Chilli Flakes, Garlic, Olive Oil and Sliced Bacon.


We loved the pork neck meat as it was grilled to the right balance while still retaining the succulent and juicy meat. With the chilli flakes, it gives it a spicy twist and was another nice dish to be paired with the cold beer.


The second pasta that we had was the Snowy Piggy Carbonara (RM22.00) this is a Creamy Bacon Spaghetti topped with an Egg Yolk and laden with overwhelming cheese topping which makes the pasta a little more salty to our taste.


The first main dish for the night was the Piggy Pork Shoulder Steak (RM45.00). This is a  premium Pork Shoulder Meat which is barbecued with a special in house made Piggy BBQ Sauce.


We find the meat extremely juicy, succulent and has a very good tender texture with each bite of the meat. This pork is served with Mash Potatoes and Salad.


Next is the BBQ Long Pork Ribs.(RM55.00) which is another premium meat; this one is long rib with Layers of Thick Meat balanced with some fat. Barbecued with our unique Piggy BBQ Sauce; the meat was tender and juicy and had our finger licking.


This is then followed by the Spicy Short Pork Ribs (RM58.00) which is a rack of premium, lean short ribs. It is then barbecued with the special Piggy Spicy Sauce and served with mash potatoes and salad.


We find this ribs a little too spicy though; but if you take it with a cold beer; that is another story altogether.


After the few pork dishes, the next is the Signature Lamb Chop (RM45.00) it is a grilled NZ Lamb Chop marinated with a specialty homemade Mongolian Sauce and served with chips and vegetable of the day.


Next, we had the Piggy Pork Burger. (RM28.00). An in house made Pork Burger Patty layered with melted cheese and fried onion rings between toasted buns and served with curly fries and salad. We have to say that the pork patties was very thick (before cooking it is 200g) and filled with natural pork flavour.


After that; we had the Mixed Pork Franks (RM30.00) a combination of 3 spiced premium pork frankfurter served with mash potatoes and salad.


The last pork dish is the Signature Pork Knuckles (RM86.00). The Pork Knuckle was pre-cooked and fried to a perfect brown crunchy skin while the inner meat still retains the succulent juicy texture. This pork knuckles is served with mash potatoes and salad with the Supreme Gravy Sauce for some additional taste for those that loved it with a tad of sauce for the pork knuckles meat.


The star of the night is our dessert which is the Truffles Ice Cream (RM18.00). This is a real nice dessert which comprise of a flavourful homemade truffle ice cream drizzled with crispy bacon bits and drowned in chocolate sauce. It gives our tastebud a perfect mix of crisp, sweet and savoury at in one scoop.


There you have it, all the piggylicious meal from start to end. For those that loves pork dishes that can be paired with cold beer or liquor; Piggy Tail @Bangsar will not definitely not disappoint you.

Edo Ichi Japanese Restaurant Bangsar South - Sumptuous Japanese Dinner Review By Best Restaurant


When it comes to Japanese food, the greatest and most fundamental point is the freshness of its ingredients especially those raw delicacies. Best Restaurant To Eat was invited to a special dinner review at EDO ICHI JAPANESE RESTAURANT located at Nexus, Bangsar South Unit G-4 Ground Floor, Nexus Bangsar South, No. 7 Jalan Kerinchi 59200 Kuala Lumpur.


EDO ICHI Japanese Restaurant exudes a modern wood based themed. It is brightly lit and comfortable dining experience with a sushi bar counter for some quick meal.


For some privacy there are special areas where it can sit around 20 people. There are also 4 private dining room where you and your guests can dine in total privacy.


Edo Ichi Japanese restaurant also offers a wide choice of sake for its customers to choose from.


Our dinner review started with an appetizer named SOFT KANI KARAAGE TO SHAKE KAWA SARADA. It is a Fried Soft Shell Crab with Crispy Fried Salmon Skin on a bed of fragrant in-house Goma dressing (sesame sauce).


As it has a little sourish taste, it was a real good starter to entice our taste bud to more varying flavour to come.


The next dish is the star of the night; which is HONJITSU NO TOKUSEI SASHIMI MORIAWASE - It is the Chef’s Special Selection with 8 kinds of assorted air- flown raw fish platter.


This delicacies featured on the platter will be different from day to day based on the season and availability of these air flown first grade delicacies. The eight different kind of sashimi featuring in our platter are the ocean-fresh sea urchin (NAMA UNI), live scallop (IKE HOTATE), pink shrimp (AKA EBI), tuna belly (TORO), salmon belly (SHAKE HARASU), yellow tail (HAMACHI), large-scale blackfish (MEJINA) and striped pigfish (ISAKI).


Each platter is decorated with a fish; quipped the restaurant manager Mr Alex; in which case, ours was the Hou Bou Fish. The platter served was not only delicious but very eye pleasing as the chef have artistically decorated each platter to feast the customer eyes and tummy.


At Edo Ichi Japanese Restaurant, the style of serving are the traditional style (washoku) and the emphasis in on the quality of ingredients and presentation.


The next dish is the KAKI MENTAI CHEESE YAKI, it is Grilled Oyster that is topped With Cod Roe plus mayonnaise and melted cheese paste.


The flavour is quite similar to the Baked Oyster Cheese, but with the additional Cod Roe, it gives you a slightly salty taste, but one that tantalize your taste bud.


As we move to the more flavourful stuff, we then had the EBI NO HOTATE CHEESE TSUTSUMI AGE; it is Deep Fried Prawn & Scallop Rolled with Cheese.


The crisp on the prawns and scallop combination was crisp on the outside, while the fresh bouncy succulent prawn was still moist.


CHANKO KONABE (Shoyu) An assorted Seafood and Vegetable in Hot Pot - is a tantalizing hot-pot with servings of prawns, fish, shell fish, lala, soft tofu, mushrooms and assorted vegetables in  shoyu paste clear broth.


This is then followed by the signature ASARI WINE MUSHI which is Steamed Short Neck Clam with White Wine.


In taste, it is quite similar to the "Seong Tong La La", but with a Japanese Wine, the aroma was slightly stronger too.


One of the specialty in Edo Ichi is the sushi, instead of the nigri sushi, we tried the maki and even this maki is a Fried Maki which is the UNAGI CRISPY ROLL


The fried unagi are rolled in the seaweed; once it is rolled up, it is sent to the fryer; the result, the crisp of the seaweed was very nice to bite at. This roll gives you a different texture and taste as it carries along a slightly salty taste from the frying and mix with the sauce and the unagi, it gives out a bursting flavour on each and every bite.


The last dish, we had for the night is the SURUME IKA SUGATA YAKI - Grilled Japanese Whole Squid. At Edo Ichi Japanese Restaurant; the way to eat it was with the Shoyu sauce with a sprinkle of chilli flakes. It burst out a slight salty and spicy taste to the springy and bouncy grilled squid. 


For desserts, we had the EDO ICHI TEMPURA MOCHI - which is similar to the Chinese Fried "Ning Ko" but here it is using mochi cut into cubes and serves with a nice Matcha ice cream.


And the last dessert is the AZUKI KATSU, which has the mochi filled with azuki beans and fried to a crisp. It is served with the soft Matcha ice cream.


At Edo Ichi Japanese Restaurant it has a wide varieties of authentic Japanese dishes in their menu, we have just tasted only a fraction of it tonight. If you are a true blue Japanese food fan, you can check out the range of foods served here.
