Datenite @ Tonkatsu by Ma Maison, 1 Utama

Last week, my partner and I went to 1 Utama for our datenite.

We were at Tonkatsu by Ma Maison, my first visit and his second.

Outside the restaurant were these mock up of the dishes, something very familiar at Japanese restaurants.

These mock ups are rather realistic.

It gave me an idea of what to expect at Ma Maison.

I have seen other people post about their visit to Ma Maison and now I finally get to visit.

I thought we were early but the restaurant was already very busy.

On the table was a tray of these sauces and condiments.

From left to right - toasted sesame seeds, salt, soy sauce and roasted sesame dressing.

Our drinks were served first, Ice Lemon Tea (mine) and hot green tea (his). Two bowls of grated daikon were also brought to our table.

My partner had the Rosu Katsu. When I took this photo, he had already poured the roasted sesame dressing on his shredded cabbage.

Mine was the Jumbo something-something (the heaviest piece of pork on the menu at 250g). I need a lot of meat!

The breaded and deep fried pork is served with shredded cabbage (refillable), a bowl of rice, pickles and a bowl of soup (also refillable).

An empty three compartment sauce plate is also placed on the tray to pour your sauce of choice from the table.

Yes, I enjoyed the meal and I'm glad that we visited Ma Maison for the deep fried pork and raw shredded cabbage experience.

Like many restaurants, they also have a customer loyalty program where you can collect points (or in this case, p-oinks).

On our way out, I noticed Kenny Rogers Roasters next door. I remember when this restaurant first opened ages ago, it was such a sensation. I used to love their muffins. Maybe our next datenite could be at Kenny Roger's.
