In the mood for Jap after my review for Zen @ Sunway Pyramid! 

I was recently introduced to this nice place called Oasis Square.

What seemed to look like Setia Walk Puchong, is actually a place far more 
interesting and happening hidden at Ara Damansara!

It's such a beautiful place that I regretted for not bringing my DSLR during my visit.

Sunny boy used his iPhone and all the photos taken of me - has red eye on it!
My excuse - I've just glamorize glow in the dark lenses!!!

beautiful fountain night scene
I love how the lights shine when the water is shooting up!
Kind of reminds me of Mines Wonderland Musical Fountain when I was a kid

I was then brought to a Den Den, a Japanese restaurant - implying kind of a fine dining concept.

And it amazed me to hear a strange but familiar language from people
who are seated on my left, right, and opposite!
They are speaking Japanese!
Yes, this place is where Japanese go to when they yearn for some home food.
I was sooooo proud then to be dining here.

Appetizer was a trio smoked platter of smoked duck, s
moked salmon and marinated smoked lean chicken.
It was an okay dish - I love the duck,
but other two.... it does not impress me that much.

Salad with marinated raw salmon with avocado.  
It was a good salad to start with, but perhaps they could tone down a little on the dressing.
It's too flavorful to my liking. But I do love the avocado though! Yumsss...

What's next on the serving is a hot pot of somewhat taste like a seafood curry.
This dish.. me love!!!
There are crabs, prawns, and mussels all perfectly cooked in this Japanese curry,
which is not too thick, but just nice to be dipped with the baguette.

On a side dish, we ordered Cheese Omelette in a thick gravy
This dish makes me think twice about the Japanese patron here.
Is it me, or is it Japanese egg dish is supposed to be weird?
I could hardly taste the cheese, and the taste of the gravy seemed out of place.

Despite having to carry my stomach to move around (that's how full I was),
Sunny boy insisted on having dessert.
And so he ordered waffle with blueberry topped with vanila ice-cream.
I warned him that nothing could beat Gelare waffle but he proceeded with the order.
With just a mouthful, I proved him wrong... :)
The waffle isn't that bad, it's just that, Gelare will always, always, be the best!

To be honest, I would want to visit Oasis Square again for the environment.
But not for Den Den. 
With this said, can anyone tell me why are there so many Japanese eating there?!!

Perhaps we are all too used to the customized taste of Japanese food 
that we didn't realize that the real authentic Japanese food could be different!

For those who are interested to check out this place.. details as below..

Setia City Mall (SCM) is currently my favourite mall as it is located less than 20 minutes from my house. The list of tenants have also been carefully picked n invited by SCM management. Brands such as Uniqlo, Tony Romas, Gong Cha, Tong Pak Fu and many more were rarely seen in Klang. So I'm really glad to see all my favourite F&B outlet here.


Only one more outlet missing to make SCM perfect. That is Gelare. This Australia outlet is famous for their ice cream n belgium waffles. They serve the BEST WAFFLES I have ever tasted! And currently there is only ONE Gelare outlet here in the whole Malaysia, and its located at e@curve. I've been there several times, make my way from Klang to Damansara just to savour the taste of crunchy n delicious waffle. Oh yum yum...




Freshly baked Belgium waffle with ice cream and additional maple syrup (by request). This by far is my favourite waffle since I first tasted it at Australia till today.










Chocolate chips waffle with ice cream.. yummm..













Back to SCM, it has been operating since 17th May and I've been there almost everyday - this is crazy I know!!!

 The grand opening will be on the 23rd June 2012, and one of the famous band in our 90s Michael Learns To Rock is invited to hold a concert inconjunction with the opening! Paint my love.. U should paint my love...


Michael Learns To Rock concertIn order to get seating n standing tickets to the concert, we would have to spend RM150 to get 2 tickets.

Look at how many tickets I have n multiply it with RM150 to know how much I have spent in this new mall.
.





Mr & Mrs. Yap looking so happy!!!
Mum n dad also happens to be the very first person to queue for the tickets redemption - there was a super long queue behind them on that ticket redemption morning! One of the 'gwai lo' management staff praised them for being an early bird and took picture of them. The next thing we know, my niece informed me that their photo was published in The Sun newspaper. Look at their happy faces.. weeee~~
Looking forward to see Michael Learns To Rock in action this coming Saturday. First family concert! Yippiee!!!
