Takehana

Upon arriving on Phase 3 of Autocity, we had little trouble finding a for a
spot at the car park. Then it came down to choosing on where to eat.
Isshin was widely criticized by Fred and Jordan. We wouldn't come
all the way to BM to eat Nando's or Seoul Garden for that matter.
Tao was a possible choice at 1 point, but was quickly discarded
for its price.

We ended up in Takehana. The place was packed. Actually, almost every
food outlet around there was packed..it's a Saturday anyway.

The Outside.
Urgh, it was raining and it
was dark. And my n70 isn't
really that great at night.
It reads 'Japanese Ramen
& Rice Restaurant' if you
can't read.



Fred.
We were bored while waiting
for our table. So, Fred made
a homo erotic pose with the
queue paper issued to us.
Did I say homo erotic?





Sam with girlfriend.
And the queue paper found
its way to Sam and his
girlfriend....






Jia Yit, Raggy & Sam
The paper found its way to Raggy.
Fallen in deep love with the paper,
Sam unwittingly broke up with his
girlfriend to confess his feelings
for the paper. Sam is seen here
trying to snatch the paper off
Raggy. Jia Yit joins in the fun.



Me.
In less than 10 minutes, we
were seated and began
ordering. I forgot to take a
picture of the interior, but
I have to say it's nice. There
were mini tv on the walls
for the smaller tables.



California & Unagi Temaki
Price: RM5++ , RM8++
I had no idea how each of
them taste like. Try to notice
the bottom part of the roll.
I wonder if it drips when
you eat them.

Fried Anchovies
Price : Free
Each of us is given a small serving
of fried anchovies. I don't see
them listed in the bill, so I guess
it's free in some sense.
It's soaked with sugar or honey.
Kinda nice.



Pan Fried Gyoza
Price : RM9.00++
It says pan fried and looks
grilled but it taste like
boiled gyoza instead. The
filling was moderate but the
skin was soaked with oil.
Yuck.



Spicy Tonkotsu Ramen
Price : RM13.00++
Jordan and Raggy ordered this.
Each with different spiciness level.
The big patch of sea weed in the
middle looks awkward to me.
Jordan said Yataimura's was
way better.
Raggy said it was plain in taste.
Nothing special. He made a
comparison with 'Maggi Mee'.
When there's a comparison of
RM13 ramen to an instant
noodle, nothing good can come
out of it, IMO.








Salmon Bento
Price : RM30.00++
Fred's order. Comes with
grilled salmon, raw salmon
slices, grilled dyed mini
octopus and the typical
salad and miso soup.

Me, Jordan & Jia Yit
Another homo-erotic pose by me.
The little girl beside Jia Yit is
actually the sister of Ju-On.
Notice her bitter face filled
vengeance and grudge.
Careful. She might turn up
tonight and bite your dick off
while you're jerking off.


Tempura Maki
Price : RM12.00++
Fried tempura prawns wrapped
in sushi and cut into pieces.
Nothing special. But it was
good nonetheless.





Spicy Yakitori
Price : RM10.00++
Not as spicy as it looks, it
goes quite well with the
jap mayo sauce.






Egg Ramen?
Price : RM14.00++
Jia Yit ordered this. Looks
like some egg ramen.
According to Jia Yit, it was
nothing special. Not worth
it for its price, he says.
He would prefer to eat at
Sushi King.



Tempura Bento
Price : RM26.00++
Sam and his girlfriend ordered
this. According to Sam, the
bento was delicious. The
tempura part was crispy
while the others were fairly
tasty. The octopus was
hard to swallow though.


Salmon Skin Maki?
Price : RM12.00++
Fred ordered 2 of servings
for all of us. Firstly, I have
no idea what is it. Topped
with bonito flakes and jap
mayo, it has some canoe
stick and some fried salmon
skin(I think). It's pathetic.


Shumai
Price : RM10.00++
From top to down, each
pair belongs to Sam, Raggy
and Fred respectively. I lopped
them off and fried em.
Other than that, it taste
like minced pork balls. It was
nice. I like it.


Tom and Jerry.
The stupid waitress screwed up
my order. So I had to wait while
everyone was eating. And I saw
Tom & Jerry on the flat screen
tv......





Raggy and Me.
....took a homo-erotic pic with
Raggy. I think he's getting
aroused. Must be Fred's foot
fondling with his genitals
under the table.





Sam and his girlfriend.
My order hasn't arrive yet.
I'm getting pissed. Then I
notice Sam is back with his
girlfriend. I guess he
realized that the paper
was actually a ....paper.




Fried Garlic Rice with Beef









Price : RM20.00++
It says GARLIC rice on the menu. The rice taste like the jap fried rice at
Gurney Food Court. Not that it's not nice but it says garlic rice and I
don't taste garlic at all. And the beef taste like those packet food
my mother bought from the japanese grocery store. You know those
boxes with colourful packaging where you can pour out its content
n mix with hot water to eat? That's what I thought. It's quite nice if
you see it as japanese fried NON-GARLIC rice served with grocery store
beef packet. And I waited almost an hour for this. Fuck you, Takehana.


Takehana is one of those many places that has its food quality standardized
to feed on the growing demand and popularity of Japanese food among the
locals. It's like a carbon copy of Yataimura, serving limited assortment
of dishes and specializing on easy-to-make (easy-to-earn as well) ramen.
I am not fond of Yataimura, but I strongly recommend Yataimura over
Takehana. If you're wondering if the long wait for the garlic rice had
anything to do with this flaming, yes it does.

(*++ = there's a 10% service charge and 5% gov tax to each price)
