City center food is normally around that price. I guess we import some things from Japan so it becomes more expensive. Japanese food prices is usually around there in KL.
I often tell people - if you're looking for halal Japanese food don't go to Japan, come to Malaysia (though the Isetan food court isn't a good example). We've got everything from the Aeon food court (onigiri, okonomiyayaki, yakitori, etc.) to Family Mart to soba and ramen restaurants (try Seirock-ya in Damansara sometime..) to gyudon (Yoshinoya used to be big here, but they are down to one or two stores only now) to a variety of sushi restaurants (from the conveyor belt sort to the high end). Still, I want to visit Japan to eat kaisendon, uni and nama-shirasu. I expect I won't find much halal ramen there but there are a couple of halal Cocoichibanya in Tokyo and I want to try buying ikura at the supermarket, cooked rice at a konbini and making my own kaisendon.
Hi iChang! We have the same folklore about holding the chopstick too! My grandma used to tell us that if you hold the chopstick close to the tip, you will marry far away from home 🤣 Glad you are exploring more of KL
Oh ichang is from Gifu?! Nice place! I visited before! Many people thinks Japan is expensive to visit, it is not! The meals are similar price and some even cheaper than the ones in Malaysia!
Saefood is more expensive in malaysia unless you live in a fishing town by the ocean. The chicken was cheap because chickens are easy to get and cost less . A fish dish in any cuisine in malaysia can cost up to twice the price of chicken
Yayoi is one of my favorite restaurants in Thailand. Excellent food, very clean place and very reasonable price. Never heard your chopstick story before. But my mother told me if you hold your chopsticks too close to the tips, when you die and go to the afterlife, you will have chopsticks 🥢 so long that you can not put food in your mouth and feed yourself 😋.
It's common for authentic Japanese restaurants in KL to charge a premium. It's for the imported ingredients from Japan, which I think is reasonable(Rm73) for 2 pax in Lot 10.
price difference maybe due to location of the restaurant and the cost of bringing all the cooking materials from japan.. since the taste was the same means they did not compromise on the food qualities
My family tales must've gotten screwed up somewhere: I got told that the higher up you held your chopsticks, the more 'noble' you are, the lower you held them, the more 'common' you are. Btw, great move to compare the price of the meals by countries. Would be very helpful for Japanese visitors/expats I would imagine. I wonder if the Hong Kong branch(es) are cheaper or dearer.
U should try a Malaysian Japanese restaurant. Like Nippon sushi. Japanese food is quite common here in Malaysia. But if u can make a review which is the best of all that will be great. Of course it must specifically categories under halal or non halal.
Agreed on this. Japanese doing review about Japanese restaurants in Malaysia.. which is the best. It will be great! So that we know which one taste authentic.
Durian japanese food. Durian japanese cheese cake. Durian mochi. Durian dango. Durian melon pan and durian custard pan. Dry ramen with sambal nasi lemak.
we are lucky in Malaysia.. there are plenty of very authentic japanese restaurants with japanese chefs. but of course, malaysian food is everywhere and delicious.
Actually Malaysia is good, everything have. And not too crowded like other major city ie HK, Tokyo, Singapore. Still have a place for relaxation and slower pace of life amid modern life.
There are many japanese people around KLCC... and I worked in Japanese company before "Mizuho Bank". Love to listen when they communicate each other... Keep listen althought I did not understand...
You guys must seriously try the chicken ramen in one of the japanese restaurant that has like a chicken logo/sign on it, the chicken ramen rivals the tonkotsu pork ramen and also that shop doesnt have pork
iChang, recommend Durian King TTDI to you. Try the durian cendol there. You can take the mrt to TTDI station, just a short walk away. You can also explore Malaysia's largest mall, 1 Utama at Bandar Utama mrt station.
In the year of 1990 Isetan is one of my favourite place for window shopping. Only window shopping since still a college student not enough cash to shop 😅😂 Best place for eating as well and near to Sungai Wang Plaza.
What ichang says about the chopsticks was the same for what I had heard from people when I was a kid. It’s believed that holding far end of the chopsticks meaning to get married to someone far away from home kin the future ….Chinese and Japanese share the same fairy tale story on this! 💙💙 It’s hard to find this good prices of food in Japan cities now… i love rural area in Japan! 👍🏼👍🏼
There's a really nice Hojicha at Pavillion top floor Tokyo Street. Kiosk name is Matcha Hero Kyoto. Their hojicha is really good!!!! at least for me.... hehehe...
I've heard the same tale like iChang, but I'm Chinese, for female the higher u hold your chopstick, the farther u will be married to(somewhere far away), majority of Chinese will tell u the same story.
@@geraldhng8774 says the guy who has a weird name and puts a random stickman figure as their pfp. I don't even play the game anymore. I just kept the account this way
Chinese also have same superstition on how far you hold the chopsticks from the tip. But I think it's more about how far your future partner will come from instead of parents. Longer means your future partner is likely from overseas or far away.
My Chinese ethnicity also have the same belief when holding the chopsticks, holding top of the chopstick will mean that you will marry a far, guess that's true in my case... my grandmother keeps telling me that when I have dinner with my grandparents when I was young.
import item are expensive due high import tax that has been charge by Malaysia, thats why the food is more expensive than local food because the is some item is imported.
You guys should try out Mo-Mo-Paradise at J's Gate! It's an authentic shabu-shabu & sukiyaki buffet restaurant. I worked there before and love their meat! ;)
6:53 I'm not even chinese but I've heard of this when I was a kid. If i remember it correctly, it's about the person you'll be married to. Holding the chopsticks far from the tips, you'll marry a person who lives far away from your hometown. Hence, 'living far from your parents' part.
Next time you can try Sanuki Udon in Taman desa run by a Japanese boss. The cheapest udon in town! Isetan is my regular spot and if u need ossusume for that place let me know! It has thw widest range of sake at reasonable prices
U can't compare food price here to Japan..This is bukit bintang KL golden triangle area.. Everything are expensive bcos of location & high rental.. Malaysia have more than thousands of Japanese restaurant,ask some local to bring u to go some cheap & nice Japanese food..Enjoy!!
Calvi ck ppl just want a taste of home once in a while....all the cheap outlet Malaysian go doesn’t taste authentic....imagine you go japan and some local say they bring you go eat cheap and nice Malaysian food and you found out it’s crappy for Malaysian standard...you would rather spend more for the taste of home
Next time your'e in Kuala Lumpur, you should give Mont Kiara a visit. The Japanese community there is huge, you would think your'e in Japan, even the signboards etc have Japanese translation. Because of that, a lot of the Japanese restaurants serve pork, if you are interested.
I didn't suggest u guys to try japanese cuisines instead our Malaysian Cuisine. We got so many local food such as Malay, Chinese, Indian even East Malaysia ( Sabah & Sarawak). Its obviously expensive if u compare with the Foreign Cuisine in Malaysia. Please do, ask our local followers to guide you whenever u guys come again to Malaysia. Don't miss the experience. U guys are even from Japanese & Hong Kong. The taste will be same.
first time comment here. it's fun to watch a Japanese introducing a mall that I used to go when i was living in KL. i love the Kansai accent as I'm Malaysian living in Kansai now. I would go to Yayoi Ken for lunch whenever I'm in Kyoto city.

Yes Yayoi at Lot10 is me and my wife's favourite Japanese restaurant too. Affordable price with reasonable portion. Good food 😀
Have you tried Tokyo Street in Pavilion ? Food a lot more reasonably priced there.
Yeahhh... Very nice. Always be my favourite place in Bukit Bintang area. 👍👌
Abdul Karim Han many halal food there?
@@shuyira621 I don't think many of them are Halal; mostly they are pork-free but still serves alcohol.
tokyo street pavi cannot fight with isetan foodcourt feathered in this vid yo
@@hunnykebun pork free doesn't meant the food is halal
Glad that u guys find the food there tastes similar to the ones in Japan...
When I watch ur video... I miss my japanese friend... They also love malaysian food... But they dont like durian...
When you eat meals from your hometown you will remember your family back home. Happens to me before.
Travel around u will find variety of food from the cheapest to expensive kind..
Yayoi is one of my favorite restaurants in Thailand. Excellent food, very clean place and very reasonable price.

No pork in menu cause mostly every restaurants in malaysia serve halal food
Though some of them use Mirin/sake (even though no pork). You gotta ask before dining.
don b stupid there's lots of non halal restaurant serve pork out there, don try to mislead them just because u're muslim
Depends on the city, i've been to places where halal restaurants exist but most of the places served pork and non-halal food.
Nope. Its because overpopulated arab tourist in bukit bintang area so some eateries serves no pork. Its all about business guys.
@@hunterxhunter5287 lol i'm not even muslim you jackass don't try to make false speculation just bcause I said halal food

Japanese food in Isetan is the best for me so far in Malaysia :’)
there is a nice udon restaurant on the same floor ,Menya Ichiyutei 麵屋一優亭

Thank you for a brief video..im from malaysia but by watching your video i know many places too..keep up the good work ..u both r cute couple.
I like your channel because you review about places, restaurants and foods. Very informative.
Cheaper restaurant chains of Japanese food in Malaysia are Sushi Zanmai and Sushi King. Those two are the most common ones in shopping malls.
Actually Malaysia is good, everything have. And not too crowded like other major city ie HK, Tokyo, Singapore. Still have a place for relaxation and slower pace of life amid modern life.

Rm25 is ok. Not that expansive. If its rm40 then it is expansive. Considering its japanese foods in a mall.
you forget to calculate the plate for mini udon and extra rice, it is almost the same actually
You guys must seriously try the chicken ramen in one of the japanese restaurant that has like a chicken logo/sign on it, the chicken ramen rivals the tonkotsu pork ramen and also that shop doesnt have pork

KAGURA!!
love to head ichang slurping on the udon! truly japanese and truly enjoying it
Have you guys tried Go Noodle? Signature dish is bursting pork ball noodle and pork slice noodle....yum yum 😋

The place you visited is probably considered some of the higher end places for affluent customers. There are cheaper Japanese restaurants in malaysia
My mother told me the same fairy tale too! I used to hold at middle of the chopstick
Can try Warakuya next time, it located in Kota Damansara.
Chinese also have same superstition on how far you hold the chopsticks from the tip. But I think it's more about how far your future partner will come from instead of parents. Longer means your future partner is likely from overseas or far away.
i thought it was the further you hold it, the longer your life would be
Japanese chef cooks one of the best ramen in town, look for Menya Shi Shi Do. It’s better than quite a lot ramen i had when i went japan.
