Delicious and Fresh Sushi at Syun Izakaya, Downtown Hillsboro, Oregon

In Malaysia, I've been to a number of Japanese restaurants but I don't really see any of the restaurants with the Japanese feel - nor the restaurant is decorated in authentic Japanese theme.

The outside of Syun Izakaya looks like any ordinary shops


It is an eye opener for me to have a real "Japanese" dining experience at the Syun Izakaya during my last business trip to Oregon, United States. The restaurant really give me the feel that I was having my dinner in Japan, mainly because of the decoration - although I don't recall seeing the conveyer belt fetching sushi around the restaurant.

The "Japanese" theme inside Syun Izakaya - something I always see whenever I watch any Japanese movie








So, I've ordered a sushi set and some sashimi; I cannot really recall what are those call from the menu, but I'm pretty sure that it was sushi or sashimi and there are some California rolls. The sushi are really fresh,  the vinegar-ed rice is served in the room temperature with some of the freshest fish or seafood that I've come about. The meat will just melt in my mouth within seconds.






My colleagues and I also ordered a bottle of sake and to be honest, it's actually my first time tasting sake and the sake taste like the liquor that I bought home previously from Chengdu. Drinking sake after the dinner feels awesome, although I know that my colleague order sake which taste less bitter as I don't like it bitter.


Overall, I like Syun Izakaya very much and it is definitely one of the most unforgettable dining experience during my time in Oregon and definitely will give Syun Izakaya another round if there is an opportunity to travel to the United States once again.

[Wine Recipe] - Roselle Wine Recipe 24_11_2012

I was thinking to do something different for this blog during the weekend, and something pops up in my mind which is to post the wine recipe. There are so many wine recipe around that it will be too difficult to keep track and at the same time, I would love to blog about it, so that I can use the wine recipe that can provide me with the taste of the wine that I wanted in the future. Well, I can just treat it like another type of log book for this "experiment". Anyway, to make wine for home usage, it is not that tedious, just that you will need to have the correct recipe with the correct material, then voila, you can start making your own wine. Of course, for high volume production, it will be another story as it will involves a lot of machines and stuff like that. Roselle wine

The Wondrous of Jalan Yau Tet Shin

Jalan Yau Tet Shin It must be a surprise that I am blogging about a street in Ipoh, but this street is hard to be missed especially to those who stopped by Ipoh. Reason being, the Jalan Yau Tet Shin is famous for its mouthwatering hawker food and it is a must stop by area when someone passes the quiet town of Ipoh. In fact, one can easily see a lot of local tour buses stopping by for the people to dine and pack some of the local favourites confectioneries back home.
