MO-MO PARADISE MALAYSIA | Lot 10 Bukit Bintang Kuala Lumpur HotPot Mo Mo Paradise

Japanese Hot Pot Shabu Shabu and Sukiyaki The Japanese Way at Mo-Mo Paradise Malaysia.

Good news For Japanese Hot Pot fan. Japan’s most successful Shabu-Shabu and Sukiyaki restaurant has finally made its way into Malaysian shores! Strategically located in the golden triangle of Kuala Lumpur, Mo-Mo-Paradise is located at 4th Floor, Lot 10 Shopping Centre in Bukit Bintang is the first Mo-Mo-Paradise outlet in Malaysia.

“We see the Japanese hotpot concept of Shabu-Shabu and Sukiyaki as a symbol of kinship and togetherness. Sharing a meal is a key ingredient in our years of friendship, which is why we seized the opportunity to bring Mo-Mo-Paradise to Malaysia,” said Yap Chor Wen, Co-Founder of Mo-Mo Paradise Malaysia.

“Malaysia is a haven for anyone who loves to discover and enjoy all types of good food. Yet, we find many Malaysian foodies who often misinterpret the different styles of Japanese hotpot. The idea is to educate fellow Malaysian food hunters on the distinct styles of Shabu-Shabu and Sukiyaki, as well as to provide an authentic Japanese experience, without the hefty plane ticket prices to Japan!” 

Founded in 1993, Mo-Mo-Paradise first opened its doors in Shinjuku Kabukicho, Tokyo. Dubbed as the traditional Japanese hotpot with a modern twist, Mo-Mo-Paradise’s goal is simple – to provide the ultimate Shabu-Shabu and Sukiyaki experience, with a special focus on a wide variety of fresh, high-quality ingredients, accompanied by warm hospitality, all at a reasonable price. 

An ‘All-You-Can-Eat’ concept, the first Mo-Mo-Paradise outlet in Kuala Lumpur presents two distinct styles of Japanese hotpot - Shabu Shabu and Sukiyaki. 

Customers can choose Shabu-Shabu, the original light broth to be enjoyed with ponzu and gomadare (sesame) sauce, which is specially formulated by Mo-Mo-Paradise and is directly imported from Japan. 

For a richer, sweet-salty flavour, customers can opt for Sukiyaki, the traditional broth from Shoudo Island. 

At Mo-Mo Paradise, team members will be there every step of the way, to guide you through the process of choosing your meats, right up to cooking at the table. For example, if you are new to  Mo-Mo Paradise, its staff will demonstrate the right way to enjoy this Shabu-Shabu.

This Japanese hotpot dish consists of thinly sliced meat and vegetables that are boiled in water. Cooked piece by piece, the food is cooked by the diner at the table! 

An onomatopoeic term, Shabu-Shabu refers to the sound emitted when the ingredients are stirred in the cooking pot before it is served with dipping sauces. 

Similar to Shabu-Shabu, Sukiyaki also cooks thinly sliced meat and vegetables before serving with a dipping sauce. 

What makes it different is the method of cooking, as well as the distinctive broth and dipping sauce. With Sukiyaki, you put all vegetables and meat together in a pot of simmering broth. The broth has a rich flavour, made of salty-sweet soy-based seasoning. 

Customers then choose from the mouthwatering selection of different types of meat such as sakura pork that is sourced locally and beef that is air flown from Australia. The meats are carefully sliced and kept in a strictly controlled temperature before serving. 

The vegetable bar is an impressive sight with more than 20 types of vegetables, sourced locally and carefully selected to ensure utmost freshness. 

“What makes Mo-Mo Paradise a truly authentic Shabu-Shabu experience are the consistent standards. 

Open from 11:00AM to 11:00PM, Mo-Mo-Paradise Malaysia is a non-halal establishment, with meals priced at RM68++ for single pot and RM76++ for mix pot, per person. All meats and vegetables are refillable within the 100 minutes time limit.

ISHIN JAPANESE RESTAURANT OLD KLANG ROAD KUALA LUMPUR

Ishin Japanese Restaurant located at 202, Persiaran Klang, Batu 3 3/4, Off Old Klang Road, 58000 Kuala Lumpur is very popular for bringing in premium Japanese produce to be savoured by its avid followers.



Each time you dine at Ishin Japanese Restaurant; you will have a sense of having had a satisfying meal. This is due to the experience that Chefs has to serve their Japanese dishes to suit the demanding palate of its diners especially the current season produce of Japan.



We had a chance to taste out; some of the speciality dishes at Ishin Japanese Restaurant recently. To start off our dinner; we ordered the Gyuniku Tataki. Using the premium sirloin cut, the beef is grilled to medium rare, sliced and served with grated radish/ fresh chillies, minced garlic and chopped scallions. You can mince on the soft texture of the beef which marries perfectly to the citrusy sauce that came with it.



One can't miss out having this Dobin Mushi – Tea Pot Clear Soup. It is a clear broth with a nice clean taste. We like how it was presented and how to get the maximum taste. You start off drinking the clear soup from the teacup as it is. This ensures that you taste out the natural flavour of the soup.



Then you can add a tinge of lime to it and it takes you to another level of taste. As you enjoy the soup, you can take off the teapot covers where you will find a prawn, shiitake mushroom and soft Taufoo which you can eat it.

A Japanese dinner isn't complete without an order of Sashimi. For tonight we ordered the Sashimi Moriawase - Chef Selection. One of the reasons why diners keep coming back to Ishin Japanese Restaurant is the sashimi offering for the freshness of the seafood. The clam was very nice with the chewy texture; while the flying fish was superb and the prawn with a bouncy texture that has you lingering for more.

Our next dish from the Teppanyaki menu is indeed an interesting offering which is the Hokkaido King Crab with Duck Liver. This dish called for the use of two exquisite ingredients namely Foie Gras and the Hokkaido King Crab. The duck liver is lightly teppan-fried which has a slight char on the outside and melt in the mouth texture on the inside and is served with meaty crab over butter, soy sauce and fried garlic for the extra flavour.

For the deep fried dish, we ordered the Tori Kaarage. Unlike the Tori Kaarage which are served at other restaurants; at Ishin, each piece of chicken meat is crafted to have only a thin layer of meat; This makes eating this Kaarage a real delight as you can taste the crunchy and crispy combination all in one bite as compared with others which has a big chunks of meat.

The star of the night is our order of the Matsuzaka Wagyu Beef Stone Grill. This wagyu steak is cooked on a hot stone over an open flame. You got a choice of either having the staff to grill it and you can DIY. The premium Wagyu meat leaves up to its name and the marbling of the steak was nice and of course, you can experience not only the sound of the grill, the aroma and every bite of this melt in mouth texture and taste.



The dish comes with a sauce which is a concoction of miso and salt, but frankly, I love the lightly grill soft texture and its natural taste of this premium cut of Wagyu.

Finally, if you still have any stomach space left; you can order the Yaki Udon to fill up your space. The Yaki Udon is stir-fried with chicken and vegetables, topped with bonito flakes for extra flavour.



After a hearty meal, we decided to have a refreshing order of Mix Fruits Platter to cleanse our palate.



As we were ordering our dessert, the staff recommended us to try a not on the menu Musang King ice-cream; which as a fan of the king of Fruit; it was a no-brainer to order it. Taste wise was not too bad, but if they were Musang King flesh in it, it would have made it to my must-eat list.

For more information and reservation, you can call Ishin Japanese Restaurant at 603-7980 8228.

Kimi-Ya Japanese Restaurant New Menu 2018 Old Klang Road Kuala Lumpur

Affordable Premium Quality Japanese Dishes - Kimi-Ya Japanese Restaurant @Old Klang Road.

It is a norm that quality seasonal Japanese food is very pricier; the price is due to the way the food arrives in Malaysia which is usually air-flown. Nowadays, we are a little bit luckier in that many Japanese restaurants has started to bring the seasonal ingredients to Malaysia for us to taste the fine quality of these items.

At Kimi Ya Japanese Restaurant which is located at G-2, Avantas Residences, 162 Jalan Klang Lama, Kuala Lumpur for the month of May is serving these delicacies to its customers which will not burn a hole in your wallet.

There are a number of seasonal fish that will be available at Kimi-Ya among them are the Leather Jacket, Scorpion Fish, Gurnard, Ren-Kodai, Isaki, King Crab and more.

Among my favourite for the upcoming promotion is the Kagoshima Wagyu (120 grams). These prized cuts are air flown in from Japan. Kimi-Ya Japanese Restaurant used to serving the Australian Wagyu Beef at its outlet but have now switched to serve the Japanese Wagyu for its patron to enjoy the quality, texture and taste which is much better although a little pricier.

The Kagoshima Wagyu was lightly grilled Teppan-style with a simple dash of salt and pepper to bring out the true flavours of the melt in mouth texture. Served with bean spout at the sides with Teriyaki sauce.

We were served with one of the delicacies which are Taraba Gani (Grilled King Crab with Salt). What I like about Japanese food is to eat its natural taste of the King Crab. The meat was succulent with a nice natural salty taste which was enhanced by the simple grilling of the king crab.

Talking about natural taste, the Matsu Sashimi Moriawase which has 7 Types is another good example of tasting the natural flavours of the ingredients; here we were served with Salmon, White Tuna, Amberjack and Tuna Belly, Scallop, Octopus and Pink Shrimp. You can really taste the freshness of the sashimi which has a nice soft texture.

For our order of the salad, it was the Kaori Bako Kani (Salad Crabmeat with Assorted Vegetables) which has salad and topped with a dollop of crabmeat with Sesame dressing.

Many of us fancy the edamame as a favourite snack before and after a meal; but at Kimi-Ya, the Chef has made a slight twist to this snack food which after boiling it; the edamame is slightly grill and tossed with chilli flakes. This dish is called the Yaki Pirikara Edamame.

Another one of the speciality dishes at Kimi-Ya is the Teriyaki Foie Gras  (2 pcs). The Foie Gras is Pan fried with a coating of Teriyaki sauce that encapsulate the entire piece of thick and succulent Foie Gras. Served with a bed of Brown mushroom.

To fill your stomach, for Udon fans, you can try out the Curry Udon. The Udon is in-house made and has a silky smooth texture that makes slurping this noodle a nice feel.

For me, I still love the Zaru Soba which is Cold Buckwheat Noodles served with Dipping Sauce. I really love the cold Soba which is also in-house made and dip into the special dipping sauce which we will add in the quail eggs, spring onion and wasabi. This is, in fact, the best way for me to enjoy this Cold Soba.

Finally, for dessert, we were served with the Warabi- Mochi which is bracken starch dumpling served with Brown Sugar Syrup and Soybean Powder. We love the texture of the mochi which has a melt in mouth feeling when we bite into the mochi and the syrup was at the right sweetness level.

Another one of air flown item is the Japanese Musk Melon which is famed for its unique natural juicy sweetness. 

The above promotion is from 1st May 2018 until 31st May 2018. For more details, you can visit  Kimi-Ya Facebook Page or call +6013- 239 3406
