Jogoya @ Starhill Gallery Revisited

Posted by kampungboycitygal in Buffet, Japanese Food, Kuala Lumpur, Starhill Gallery. 4 Comments

Jo- A place one has to go.

Go- The palace in which a king lives.

Ya- A shop in Japanese culture.

We are back but with more people and fun this time! KgBoy society mate had chosen this place for their annual dinner and being an outsider, I shamelessly tagged along! (Actually it was upon KgBoy’s request, and I have no reason to reject because he will foot the bill)

It’s a pricey annual dinner though, with around RM 100 per pax. But who cares about the price when the place offers nice environment and good food. Patrons fill up 80 percent of the place, I’m just so glad that we made reservation earlier!

We reached there around 7.30 pm after the endless traffic congestion. Everyone was so hungry that I heard some stomach growling musical fest going around! We were places in a private room because there were 9 of us. It feels good here because we can talk and laugh to ourselves.

Every table is given some metal clips to be dropped onto the counter when you want to order the cooked food. Just be patient because it takes time to be delivered to your table

Our private room – Devote. Kgboy says that it described them the best, as they had devoted their time and effort for their society and now they are having the annual dinner here. I’ll just let the pictures do the talking ok?

We had gulped down countless number of fishes, the sauce bring out the freshness of the fish..Ooooo I miss those fishes right now..

These people are great especially William! I can’t stop laughing at his jokes! KgBoy is another entertainer. He urged us not to eat so much, the reason is he was afraid that Jogoya would closed down and we won’t be able to come back again! Hilarious!

Can you imagine that we can actually gobbled down so much of food? We definitely get the RM 100 worth. We recommended this place to all the jap food lovers out there, and not to forget those with big appetite like us.

Is Jogoya worth revisiting? I’ll give u a big YES because because their food always keep up to the standard. Bring your appetite and go early next time, as this place fills up really fast despite the price.

Birthday Celebration for KampungBoy @ Galaxy KTV

Posted by kampungboycitygal in Birthday, Buffet, Puchong, Selangor. 12 Comments

CityGal and KampungBoy

It is so sweet for KampungBoy’s coursemates to have an early birthday celebration for him. His birthday falls on 8th of May and coincidently it will be the first day of study week when everyone will be quite busy that time.

They had a big surprise ahead of him and they “pakat-ed” me as part of the surprise. I have to bluff that I won’t be able to go with him for some reason while his friend arranged another car for me about one hour later. While I was in the car, he sms-ed me and say “Sien! Forgot to bring camera coz never thought of they are having celebration with me! Wish you were here too”. I just can’t stop laughing because he’s still not aware of the disasters awaiting him..

I bought him a bouquet of daisies..Reason? Coz orange colour daisies look more Macho than roses or what so ever flowers..

Pretty Girls from Faculty of Management..

Good Looking Accountants..Heartthrobs?

Surprise Part 2..While my arrival has caught his attention, his friends slam-bang the cake hard on his face..And a war of the cakes and creams happened in the KTV room..The girls have to do the cleaning up silently without the staff notice..SShhhhh

Poor cake gone into waste

Blueberry Cheesecake from Berry’s..Not nice one..

Buffet Time! It’s such a great deal at RM 10! Look at the varieties but do not expect too much since it’s only 10 bucks. The desserts are nice to see but not nice to swallow. We voted the assam prawns, sotong lemak and baked mussels as the best food around!

Jogoya @ Starhill Gallery

Jo- A place one has to go.

Ya- A shop in Japanese culture.

Jogoya opened their first flagship in Starhill Gallery, KL. There must be something unique about Jogoya that it can gain its fame among the highly competitive F&B industry in Taiwan. There’s a mixing of reviews among local food bloggers on the food quality. So, KampungBoy and I decided to give it a try even though the price is towards the high end side. It’s a little treat for the Birthday Gal too!

The Procedures Recommended – Taken from Jogoya Official Website

Pricing

Store Front

Customers must pay prior enter and we were actually the first on the booking list. Their staff ushered us into a so called couple seat. It’s actually a little cabin where you and your partner are sitting next to each other and facing a wall. I urged KampungBoy to request for seats changing, and they lead us to a small table of two. Ahhh, feel more spacious now! This place is HUGE that I got lost for few times. (A bit exaggerating, main reason is I have poor sense of direction) Every table is given some metal clips to be dropped onto the counter when you want to order the cooked food. Just be patient because it takes time to be delivered to your table.

Most of their serving staffs are actually foreigners who can’t understand English. However, they are prompt in clearing your plates and getting you spoons or tissues. Oh, it’s heart warming because they say Thank You and smile quite frequently.

Everyone try the paperpot steamboat out of curiosity. You can choose your own choice of seafood and vegetables from the counter and the soup base selections are chicken and mushroom, miso soup and tomyam soup. There’s’ a portable burner on every table to keep your soup warm.

Citygal’s favourite : Sashimi

They have various type of baked cheese in bowls.

Kampungboy with his cawan mushi

Oysters big as palm size. This is the first time we tried raw oysters..Ermm..Dun quiet like it..

Stir Fry Beef..Delicious!!

Stir Fry Lala..2 Thumbs Up!!

Butter Prawn..The prawn is fresh and I love the butterly taste

Ikan Pari Bakar..Cute presentation..Kampungboy: Waste aluminium foil leh..

Must mention about the prawn tempura coated with crunchy batter and the grilled fish chin (direct translate from mandarin)

Fish Fillet with Teppanyaki Sauce..SO good that we ordered a second plate..

Dim Sum Section

Siu Loong Tong Bao without Tong..Haha

Jogoya is a Halal restaurant..But weirdly enough that it tastes like pork..

Variety and selections of food is HUGE as well, but not all meet up to the standard. KampungBoy and I just love their drinks from fruit smoothies, small coconuts, coffee, expresso, cappuccino, plum tea and ocha. For desserts, their mousse cakes and tarts are nothing special, but I love the tiramisu, plain cheese cake and Movenpick Ice Cream from Switzerland. I tried it at Marche, The Curve and fall in love with it there after.

Cute coconuts..Love it

Citygal had 3 cups of cappuccino

Movenpick Ice Cream..Drolling..@@

Desserts..SO tempting right??

Note : Phototaking of the food preparation counters are strictly prohibited. We were actually stopped by the managers few times. However we goes on for our reader’s viewing pleasuers. Haha

Can you imagine that two of us can actually gobbled down so much of food? We definitely get the RM 133.40 worth. We recommended this place to all the jap food lovers out there, and not to forget those with big appetite like us. Last but not least, thanks to KampungBoy for the treat, he’s probably going to survive on bread for the next few weeks.
