Mother's Day @ Hyotan, Subang Jaya

intended to bring mom to Ryu Men Tei, and juz found out they have changed name to Gin Ryu Tei.. this proves it has been a looooong time since i went there.. but we ended up in Hyotan, which is further down the block coz the first few japanese restaurants in front were all packed and people actually waited outside to wait for their turn..

when we spotted Hyotan, there's no one queuing outside.. but when we went in, it was full house.. and this waiter told us there's a table upstairs.. and we thought, "weee, lucky us!"

we waited awhile for them to clean the table.. happily, we sat and browse thru the menu.. looks good... we ordered Sukiyaki Nabe set (forgot to take a picture of it), Chirashi Sushi, Yakitori Moriawase, Sushi Moriawase C and Green Tea Monako.

sigh.. however, as it was mother's day... the place started to get more crowded.. and we waited 1hr before our 1st dish came.. then waited another 30mins for the next and etc.. we were there from 730pm till 1030pm.. 3hrs!! and some of them actually have no patience and they had to go and collect their own food from the counter.. well, same goes to our last 2 dishes.. we couldn't wait any longer.. sheeshh.. but the food was good.. slightly expensive but i'd still like to try Gin Ryu Tei the next time.. wonder how they've changed.. hehe..

Indiana Chicken
there are mashed potato,veges and bun at the bottom.. the chicken was topped wif some chilli spices and oso wif a sweet/sour/spicy sauce.. nice..

Chicken Maryland
french fries, 1/2 foot long sausage and bun..

Lamb Shank

Choya Umeshu - 梅酒

bought this small bottle like.... more than 6 months ago.. hahaha... was surfing at www.choya.com to get the correct information and juz realized that the fruit itself is not plum, it's called ume.. and this drink is called umeshu, a japanese ume fruit liquor.. tried drinking warm n cold.. i preferred cold. tasted very refreshing and sweet.. alcohol content 10% :D

Choya Umeshu - 梅酒

hehe... no drunk.. tasted sweet.. nice to drink it cold.. but the ume isn't as sweet as i thought it would be.. prolly coz it was preserved in the liquor for some time? but it has very nice fragrance.. refreshing when drink it cold :D slurp..
