My Japanese Lunch

When was the last time I ate a Japanese meal? Honestly, I can't remember.

And I do miss those bento meals and sashimi! So I decided to give myself a treat at Fujisawa Izakaya, Damansara Utama (where else, right?) which is still around after all these years.

The decor has not changed much, even the decorations from downstairs all the way up the staircase.

I sat right across from where my partner and I sat on the floor seating back in 2019.

I was there at 12:00pm and had the whole place to myself.

You can order from the set lunch menu or the main menu.

The lighting was very dim and my eyesight not so good.

I had to do a lot of squinting to read the menu. I wanted the Buta Kimuchi Itame Set but that was not available (I later learnt that this outlet is pork-free). Dang!

So I had to squint some more and selected the Tori Karaage Curry Bento even though I am not so keen on Japanese curry.

Since I miss sashimi, I ordered Salmon Sahimi from the main menu.

There was this cute soy sauce dispenser. Then I noticed that it was wet at the bottom.

Tsk! Tsk!

This is the lemon water that comes with the bento. I requested for ice but got room temperature instead. But I did not complain (but gave a demerit).

The salmon sashimi was served first.

Oh yes, I enjoyed this. I could eat another portion but no, this thing is expensive.

This is my Tori Karaage Curry Bento. It came with a miso soup and a piece of beancurd.

The Japanese curry was thick and starchy but it tasted very good. I was surprised that I liked it. There was a quail egg and some vegetables and a big wedge of carrot in the curry. You can see in the center of the tray is a small serving of dried chili sambal.

The tori karaage (fried chicken) was very crispy and tasty as what Japanese fried chicken should be. A small wedge of lemon and Japanese omelette accompanied the fried chicken, all placed on top of the rice.

The salad was all right, lightly dressed in a citrusy dressing. The watermelon was very refreshing, another thing I haven't had in a long time.

So that was my first Japanese meal in a long, long time!

This is the location of this outlet, opposite RHB Bank and above Aftermeal. There is another outlet nearby called Fujisawa Kyanpu Bar. That I must investigate! LOL!
