Half-eaten Claypot Lo Shi Fun.
The universe is fair. Bang your car, discover good food. The other day, I took leave to bring my car for repairs after a minor accident. For lunch that day, I was brought to a restaurant in Kuchai Lama called Goon Wah. This place is popular for its Fish Head noodles, one indicator of its popularity being how every table in the 2-shoplot restaurant is either occupied or reserved (it was 12.30pm on a Tuesday!)

As you walk along the five-foot way outside San Shu Gong souvenir shop in the direction of Jonker St, you will be greeted with a small-scale version of a Charlie-and-the-Chocolate-Factory-esque mechanical contraption that produces copies and copies of this…

With some colleagues leaving us, we decided to go for a nice dinner together followed by drinks nearby. Initially, we had planned to go to Tenji in Solaris Mont Kiara, but that suggestion met with some objections from yours truly and some others who had a mere so-so experience in that Japanese buffet restaurant. Someone then suggested Rakuzen, since it was in the same area as well.
Since there were 14 of us, we were given a private room, that was good.
The food? Some hits but also some major misses. Many of us were for Rakuzen because we had good dining experiences there (and their set lunches were always value-for money without compromising quality). Yesterday, however, they fell a little short of my expectations.
