Tokyo Kitchen - (东京厨房) @ Setia Walk, Puchong

Dinner dinner dinner, where to where to, that's always a problem for the both of us, but then we came across this very nice japanese restaurant. Looks decent with all the wooden wishing planks hanging outside the place. 

The interior's awesome and gives out a very "japanese" feel to it with all the wooden furniture inside.

Wooden wishing planks
Okay, phase one - the exterior/interior, Check 
off to phase two! - the food. 

The red menu

Salmon set
The gf is a huge fan of salmon! This set fit in perfectly with her taste-buds, not my cup of tea though, i find eating raw fish weird, just don't like the fishy cold texture to it, i prefer my grilled chicken.

Another thing to note, the side dish actually blend in pretty well with the main course. Which is a good thing cause i always ignore those sides whenever i go for korean/japanese food.

Stratosphere - The roof

Stratosphere - The roof (integrated f&b entertainment hub)

From what i know, the roof started opening to public just last year @ 1st of November 2013.

I had a chance to tag along with my brother to a gathering @ The roof, my first experience up at the roof can be summed up with a single word - "breathtaking". Yes, due to the very bad haze on that day, breathing outdoor way up on top of the roof came up as more of a challenge than expected. On a brighter note, the beautiful lighting around the roof at night did cover up for the bad weather.

Aside from the smokey treat we had that night, The roof spells of anything but below average, coming in as Asia's first and only luxury bar on top of an infinity grassed helipad, guests can have a 360-degree view of the entire city area and almost the whole of klang valley.

Good hangout place for couples and friends. (1 couple were even spotted "pak thor-ing" on the same spot for the entire time we were there! On such hazy night, their love do deserve more salutations.)


A relaxing environment to be in

My 1st time with NIVEA’s rinse off body lotion

OHH trust me, NIVEA's rinse off body lotion is goood, so good i gave my body to it, literally!

Makes me happy in the shower

I personally am not a big fan of applying body lotion on my body mainly because of the sticky feeling it gives especially under hot weather, and as a guy, i don't find it that necessary. Imagine a guy applying body lotion in the LRT on the way back from work. Hand sanitizer is acceptable, but body lotion, come on man!
