We were planning to go to Sushi Zanmai but suddenly we found a hidden gem called Hana Dining and Sake Bar. I peeped into the private enclosed bar and my friend exclaimed that probably there was no business since there was no one at the bar. Then I put my nose closer to the dark black window and realized there was a hidden restaurant inside for dining. We went in with my friend's apprehension but later after the meal, we realized we have discovered a gem hidden within a busy place like Sunway Pyramid. 

The price of food is similar to the one at Kinpachi or the Japanese restaurants in Subang Jaya but not as expensive as Kampachi. We ended up ordering the Signature Meal for 2 Pax for RM 130.

Included was an appetizer of Cod Fish Red Miso which came in 4 slices of rich fresh cod fish on a raw salad vegetable. The cod fish is a definite must for any cod fish lover. 

The second fish was the unique Squid with Cucumber and Fake Crabstick Filamen. The crabstick is again very rich in taste but thank god they did not mix any mayonaise inside that would have caused me not to like it. The squid is not rubbery though it is very big. The squid is of the giant type which makes it so worth the money paid. 

The Salmon Roll on Fire is simply again very rich in taste. Any salmon lover will agree with me that this is THE STAR! The waiter actually put this salmon rolls on fire in front of your very eyes! It was an amazing sight and makes you feel like having fine dining. 

The Teriyaki Mackerel is the finest I have ever seen and even better than the one at Kampachi! The mackerel is so soft, fresh and delicious. Can I say I have entered mackerel heaven at every taste? 

The Kaiso To Seaweed Boletus Pasta has the finest and top notch mushrooms. It is cooked with the Boletus Edulis also known as porcini mushroom. When you taste it you can feel a deep forest fragrance, we use to say that the spirit of the forest lives in this mushroom. The sauce is creamy and tasty and there are 3 types of mushrooms including straw mushrooms and shimeji that cling to every strand of pasta. If this doesn't gets you Mushroom lovers wild, I wonder whether any other will? 

The Miso Soup is just nice, not as salty as the ones in the market and served at other cafes. There are seaweed and small tofu inside the clear soup. If I weren't too full, I would have finished it. 

The Hana Sesame ice-cream brings one to Japan instantly. Teh ice-cream is frozen on the outside and when it melts in the mouth, at the every end, the sesame taste is very strong and lingers in your mouth. 

The only thing I did not like was the Berry Iced Tea (RM 9) which tasted like cough mixture. The hospitable waitress even gave me that as complimentary when I said I did not like the taste! When she saw we had some leftover, she was concerned but we told her it was because we were too full from the big portions. 

Eating here is like fine dining but at a much more affordable cost of merely RM 130 for a 7 course meal. This is the place to go for a romantic meal or even a meal with the family without burning your pocket. Yet you can never fail to impress with Hana Dining and Sake. The wide array of food and cocktail and alcohol at reasonable price would bode well with any middle incomed person. The private enclosure and sophisticated elegance makes one feel like you are in a 5 star hotel, when in fact, you are inside a mall. An icing to the cake is the slow jazzy music that brings me memories of the past. If you have about 3 pax, then you can consider this 7 course meal as the portions are too big for 2 pax unless you are a big eater. BTW it is more worth it if you eat it as a course as it cost about RM 25-30 plus for each item mentioned above. 

We are definitely coming again to try the other items in the menu. 

Every time I frequent Pappa Rich, I never fail to order the Mi Goreng Mamak which is done just the way I like it. It is cooked in a moist manner with a lot of strong intense flavours of mamak noodles. I also like the fact that there are a lot of ingredients such as tomatoes, tau kua (fried beancurd), potatoes, half a hard-boiled egg, big lemon, bean sprouts, fresh salad and lettuce. 

The Pappa Rich method of cooking mee mamak makes the noodles taste like my mother's cooking. The sambal is also delicious. 

I rarely dine in 3 Two Square due to the difficult parking. Anyway, this time round, my colleagues wanted to go somewhere with air-cond and near our office. 

The Seafood Kung Fu Rice (About RM 15.90) was quite tasty and well worth the big portions. The portions here are big and well-suited for guys with big appetite. It was baked with intense-flavoured spicy curry on top of the seafood atop a lot of rice. 

The Lemon Margherita (RM 5.90) was served in a unique glass that is slanted. It was probably mix of lemon and soda. 

The Young Chow Fried Rice came in a portion fit for 2 pax. I did not like this as it was too dry for me. 

The wifi here is so fast that my friend could use to watch videos online. 

My friend told me that instead of Kampachi, there is one place called Kinpachi in Subang. He said that apparently there is a place in Subang with similar name but this place was established earlier than Kampachi even when he first came to PJ 20 years ago. The restaurant is located upstairs but there is a signboard to lead you upstairs. 

The ambience is very cosy and there are a few private corners. 

I ordered the Special Sashimi (RM 40) airflown from Japan, which I mixed together, the red and white one. The white one is a little rubbery whereas the red one melted in my mouth. For me, I liked both sashimi. 

The Salmon Avocado Roll (RM 23) was not delicious at all due to the rice was too soggy and had too much vinegar. The salmon and avocado were great though.

The Shime Saba Su (RM 14) which was fresh saba slices with a lot of lemon, vinegar, tomatoes, fresh wet seaweed and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Overall, this is the second hero dish after the sashimi. I swore that I would duplicate this dish at home if I can get Japanese Vinegar at a low price! 

The Ebitama is the other star dish here at reasonable price of RM 18. The tempura is cooked with omelette and a sprinkle of seaweed in hot pot style, sizzling when it arrived. The ebi is very fresh and not too soggy. This is definitely a dish I would reorder. 

The whole meal cost RM 101.45 which was ok minus the horrible california roll. 

Do bring more cash if you plan to eat the sashimi which is quite expensive. But if you decide not to eat this, you can always eat the other items as there are so many varieties here. 

When I first saw this on the way to my favourite clinic at Jalan Kenari, I told myself I must come here one day. Indeed I came here today for late lunch. 

The ambience is very cosy and artsy, there were photography on the wall. At the back of the cafe, there is a giant camera whereby the lense can be opened for the kitchen chef to hand over the food to the waitress. 

There is an artistic corner at the front whereby there are a few chairs and a coffee table too.

The only disadvantage of eating at cafes like these places is the late serving time. I had to wait almost 30 minutes for my food, similar like eating at AMPM cafe in Subang. 

My friend ordered the Fish and Chips (RM 15.90) whereby the fish was quite delicious and fresh. He scolded me because due to my over-anxiety for cutting carbs and deep fried items in my diet, I have requested the waiter to replace the chips with more salad which ended up even more fattening as it was overloaded with mayonaise. 

The Spicy Aglio Olio with Grilled Chicken (RM 16.90) was quite average but I felt that the spaghetti would have been better al dente and with more ingredients as the chicken pieces were too few for me. I guess I was used to eating food with a lot of ingredients. 

The Hot Almond Delight Coffee (RM 10.90) had a camera in the foam. The almond flavour could be discerned from the coffee and that is enough to satisfy me. 

The Iced Chocolate (RM 10.90) was thick enough for me. I love the thickness of the chocolate and it was not diluted by ice.
