Perpetual Tockism

The front entrance is decorated by FALLING WATER along rocky walls, ending up flooding the floor below filled with soft, round stones. See-through glasses top the deck such that when you walk into the restaurant, it’s as if you were walking upon the water, with the soft sounds of trickling water surrounding you.

I was sitted by a table near to the wine chamber, where I could see the sommelier awaiting my attention. Deciding I wasn’t going to have wine with my dishes, I kindly requested to be seated nearer to the kitchen counter, where I was able to observe the chefs strutting their stuff

By the Teppan Side of this place, where the chefs do their frying, the tables there are pretty lighted up green-tinted glasses that looked simply amazing (and classy to boot)

My Honey Dew Juice arrived first, in a dismal portion for the price paid. Nevertheless you could tell its freshness so I gave it a pass. On a different note, the straw that first came with it was faulty. Before I could grab the waitress’s attention, there was a chef who obviously saw my expression as I found the problem on the straw, and immediately came to replace the faulty straw. Talk about great first impression!

While waiting for my food, I was checking out the interior of the restaurant. Impressive and classy, as to be expected. From the outside looking into the Teppan Side, I could see the chefs meticulously cooking the dishes and painstakingly arranging it with a purpose to whet your appetite even before tasting it. This picture shows a chef blowing fire across a dish, intending to melt the cheese no doubt. Visually pleasing, I must add.

First comes the Seared Salmon with Butter Sauce. As I tentatively checked for inconsistencies on the meat, its smell wafted across my nose giving a sweet scent with a tad of butterish flavour, and that definitely pleased my nose. In a bite, I could see why they are proud of this particular dish: its meat, though it’s clear that the outside is lightly crispy, still retains the smoothness of how cooked salmon should be. The sauce, though a tad salty, was an amazing addition to couple the fish (a great ratio between butter, teriyaki sauce and probably other ingredients known only to the restaurant). I have to say it was a particularly amazing dish!

When the Mizu Fried Rice with Foie Gras was served, I was disappointed and I sure showed it well. Apart from the dismal portion, one could tell that the Foie Gras wasn’t meant to leap out at you. In other words, you could have ordered Fried Rice and Foie Gras separately and combine it into one dish. For the price I paid, this dish was extremely disappointing. Credits to its taste, there was nothing wrong with the Fried Rice, but nothing special either. The Foie Gras, though still delicious, was apparently too pricey for its size and not quite as tasty as it should be. All in all this dish doesn’t get a high rating from me, and I made sure it showed on my expression.

Are you still not drooling after reading all the above? Then watch out for my next post on my trip to Muar, oh yes, the land of Otak Otaks!!

Last Spring, at Hyde Park. Managed to take an awesome kick by Qi Zhen, featuring Chun Huey and immortalized the moment

Sakura-like trees showering Belinda with its pretty pink petals…

A squirrel can be seen praying vertically before nibbling on nuts we threw on the grounds just a moment before…

But in the end, my love for food will never waiver!
Coming up next: Food review on Mizu, a fine dining Japanese Restaurant located at Bangsar Village!

Throughout the Malaysia Week many gathered at Covent Garden to see the selection of colourful booths set up around the area

Some were cultural booths. Most, though, sold items you could not get in UK like these drinks for example. 50pence = RM3.50 per can, what a RIPOFF!! Lol, I’m just joking

This, however, is a sight to behold. Never will you get PURE Roti Canai in the land of Engrand… I was mesmerized by it, and so were the crowd gathered to watch the mamak do his thing! How could we resist not buying some to eat, you stutter?

Can anyone spot the reason?! Those guys from Awana reallly do know how to make their dough, don’t they? Nevertheless, you know us Malaysians wouldn’t be so foolhardy as to buy from them… or so we think!

Here we see a selection of crowd gathered to watch something amazing… Read more to find out!

Sushi Groove’s Menu and Upholstery which certainly looks to fill its namesake

Koyuuken grinning sneakily since he loves ordering the “sweet sauce” that people usually don’t know exist in most Jap restaurants. I swear he drinks it down like water!

The ambience in the area gives a pleasant, greeney aura. Love it!

This, is the Little Dragon Roll. It’s lavish blend of fish egg, buttery avocado and assorted fillings leaps out at you, challenging your taste buds.

The Mayonnaise Dream Roll is really just 6 pieces of crabmeat maki topped with SG’s infamous spicy mayo, topped with ebiko that might as well not be there as its taste is drowned by the mayo. It was definitely an interesting snack, but I’d rather have the item below…

The Dynamite Ball looks like your everyday sinful nature: super tasty with, again, SG’s special blend of mayo topped onto a peice of poached salmon and served on a rice ball. Ignore the fish eggs, once again its taste is drowned by the thick, heavy sauce that may not be everyone’s cup of tea after awhile!

The Calamari Popcorn finished the meal quite nicely. Small bites of calamari dipped in fresh batter and fried till Golden, topped with sweet mayo lime turned out to be a scrumptious ending at SGs *click to enlarge as usual!*

Qi Zhen, Cheeso and myself posing behind the first series of Team Global’s 6-minute long presentation

It started with some flowery explosion. There was a moment where a hibiscus was created using a series of fireworks, but I couldn’t capture it!

Blast of blue and mild showers, these visually stimulating performance sended extreme aweness within the crowd

Tentacles ahoy! Amazing display of big bursts of fire….

A view of the imaginary situation if we ever had twin Suns… wow =P

Ever seen an orchid airborne? I did… an Angel gave them to me

And it’s 1, 2, 3 times you’re out at the ol’ ball game! What rythem. What majesty!!

If that doesn’t rock your jaw into an open-state, or screw up your face in awe, this will… Explosions never felt this orgasmic!

This isn’t iDolling… Introducing, iDogging!!
This is iDogged Tock & iDogged Tim *wags tail*

This is the original picture. Yes it was taken recently, and yes, I’m fat now and boss is super red. lol!

CHEESIE DOG!
