Marufuku Udon


Out of the blue @icednyior suddenly craved for udon (actually after reading Marcky‘s blog), so we head out to find the Marufuku Udon shop in Jaya One for dinner. I arrive at the shop at about 7.00pm to find that the shop is empty with no wi-fi detected. So decide to wait at Starbucks for some dose of “Tilt to Live“.

So at about 7.30pm we enter the shop but it is still empty, I had my doubts. Sat down inside, and take a peek at the menu.

Hmm, the udon is quite cheap. Ranging from RM6-RM10 with any adds-on of Egg, Wakame and Kitsune for RM1/portion or add more udon for RM3/portion.

Side dish and Yakiniku (skewers) for RM2 or RM3 for acceptable portion size except for the chicken skins, its to expensive for me.

For starters, we had Kakiage Pumpkin (RM2). Nice and quite big portion.

Then we had Karaage (RM3/3pc) – fried chicken pieces.
Also had some yakiniku but forgot to take pic, sorry :)

Then I had Nikku Udon (RM10) – udon with beef strips. The soup is good, it’d be better if it came steaming hot. Udon, normal i guess. How can it be different then any other Udon? :)

@icednyior had Wakame Udon (RM7) – udon with seaweed and she opted it with egg. Taste good also but again would be nicer if it’s steaming hot :)

While having our udon, more and more customer walks in including @wackybecky. She said, she saw her 4sq check in is with a friend, so she was looking for who was it.

After main course, we decide to order more yakiniku. Again no pictures, sorry :)

And we finish it with Daifuku with Red Beans
I give Marufuku Udon 3.5/5 for the good food (all) and the cheap price (some is expensive). Oh by the way, shop is PORK-FREE but they do sell beers. So give it a try if your in the vicinity.

Sekinchan Ikan Bakar

Last night me, @icednyior, @kruel74 and @loveykatz went to an Sekinchan Ikan Bakar (Grilled Fish) di Kota Damansara for dinner. The shop had a nice ambiance but a bit stuffy when we were inside, maybe next time (if there is a next time) we’ll be seating outside instead.

The MO of the shop is the same as any other ikan bakar shop where as the customer can choose any seafood they want, weight and wait for it to be sent to the table. The price will go from RM5.00/100g. Some seafood like prawns and squid is sold by the pieces, small size for RM8.00 and big for RM10.00 but be sure to ask for the price if you is choosing yourself as the price will be vary.

And others is self-service, the food list goes; Nasi putih for RM1.00/small bowl, Chicken Soup for RM2.00/small bowl, Ulam-ulam for RM1.00/plate, Nasi Lemak for RM2.00/pack, Sambal Kerang for RM3.00/portion, Kerepok ikan for RM3.00/plate.

So our dinner were:

1. Sotong Bakar which we ordered 5 big portions (RM50.00)

2. Lala Bakar (RM10.00)

3. Pari Bakar (RM14.00)

4. Nasi Lemak (RM2.00)

The food was ok, I’m giving about 3/5 but am very much disappointed as they do not have Sotong Goreng Tepung. Why? I quote one by the staff “Goreng-goreng takde bang, kitorang kedai ikan bakar”.

You can visit their facebook page for info, but also please read the comments to get a clearer picture of the shop. As for me, with no sotong goreng tepung and their limited selections, I might not be returning any time soon.
