Yamabuki Sanuki Udon Restaurant @ Sri Petaling KL

December 3, 2015 by summerkid_summergirl

Yamabuki has shifted to a new location at Bangsar effective from April 2016. New address: 12, Lorong Ara Kiri 2, Lucky Garden, Bangsar 59100, Kuala Lumpur.

Yamabuki Udon & Japanese Restaurant – This new eatery at Bandar Baru Sri Petaling KL is not about exquisite, Japanese fine dining, but healthy, homemade Japanese comfort food that bring smiles.  Humble profile, hidden location but surprisingly delicious dishes. Definitely deserves more attention from the neighbourhood nearby, as well as food lovers.

IMG_7753

Yamabuki is located along a quiet alley two doors away from Coffee Coffee Cafe Sri Petaling, next to the newly built roofed parking lots. The restaurant is managed by a couple, whom the husband has been working in Japan for more than 20 years and decided to return to home country for F&B business; while the wife, a Japanese, is a lovely lady who can bake very nice Japanese cakes, pastries and ice creams.

Since Yamabuki keeps most of the designs left by previous local cafe, the raw & rustic interior can be a mismatch to the cuisine here but this doesn’t really matter much. In fact, it seems to create a touch of uniqueness for Yamabuki. Wide food selections here, covering from don, udon, tempura, grilled dishes, etc..

Ontama Udon 温泉蛋乌冬面 RM12

Among all on the menu, Yamabuki highly recommends their authentic sanuki udon, which is freshly made daily using high quality wheat flour imported from Hokkaido Japan, going through two-stages aging before becoming ready udon. While for soup, no MSG or no chemical seasoning is added, just special recipe with natural ingredients.

IMG_7792

Tried Ontama Udon from Kake Udon list, and immediately get blown away with the soup. Clear soup with almost no trace of fat oil, clean taste, helmed with pleasing sweetness from kelp, bonito and iruko. Each bowl of noodles weigh about 200g, a portion which is good enough to fill an individual’s for lunch or dinner. Spot that Onsen Tamgo! Must have!

IMG_7759

Niku Bukkake Udon 牛肉浓汁冷拌乌冬面 RM22

IMG_7763

Special hot udon such as Tonkatsu Char Siew Udon, Tonkatsu Aburi-bara Char Siew Udon, Buta Cheese Katsu Curry Udon, Tonkatsu Soup Udon and KamaTama Mentai Butter Udon are also available, to give a twist from the classic hot udon. Continues to flip through Yamabuki Udon Menu, there is a list of cold udon too but frankly speaking, level of acceptance for cold udon in Malaysia is not as popular as the hot version.

IMG_7790

Salad Udon 沙拉冷拌乌冬面 RM17

Despite so, we enjoy their Niku Bukkake Udon ( Cold udon with stewed beef served with thick broth) and Salad Udon( Tuna tamago salad udon with toasted sesame dressing) a lot. The former gets plus points for the flavourful broth while the later, mix together plenty of texture – crispiness of lettuce, chewiness of udon, juiciness from tomato, creaminess from mayo tuna, umaminess from bonito flakes, all in one plate.

IMG_7770

Buta Katsu Curry Rice 千层猪排咖喱饭 RM21

In case you are a person who can’t miss rice for any meal like Summerkid, Yamabuki hears you. So they sum up 15 rice bowl for you to pick from. Had a taste on one of the more common Japanese Cury Pork Katsu Rice and felt that it wasn’t rich and creamy like some other Japanese restaurant, but more liquidity, more spicy, packed with spices. A short talk with the friendly boss and we we told that they make their own curry, slightly modified to result in thinner curry.

IMG_7820

Aburi Bara Char Siew Don 炎烤玫瑰肉日式叉烧饭 RM15

RM15 for three large slices of grill Aburi Bara Char Siew and halved Ajitama on a bed of fluffy Japanese Rice, finished with drizzles of sauce, definitely worth the price! Another cheap dinner below RM20 option checked! Char Siew is marinated for one day, grilled upon order. Chewy meat, slightly dry and too lean for us. Good but we prefer to have more sauce for the rice.

IMG_7786

Ebi Tempura 明虾天妇罗  RM14

Jumbo size ebi tempura, our all-time-must-order item in a Japanese eatery. Yamabuki version may not be the best we had tried but considered fairly decent. Deep fried to golden brown, very crunchy breaded outer layer jacketing bouncy prawns.

IMG_7778

Enoki Tempura 金针菇 RM3

Other tempura choices included enoki mushroom, eggplant, half-boiled egg, lotus root, sweet potato, Japanese pumpkin, sweet potato, mixed vegetables and more.

Saba isozuke Yaki 烤味曾青花鱼 RM12

Never expect the grilled mackerel to be so excellent. Paper thin crispiness on the skin layer, laced with very minimal smokiness. Take a bite, incredibly satisfying mellow juiciness comes through, followed by miso flavours. What makes this saba notably good is definitely the texture, just be careful with the fish bones.

IMG_7807

Buta Marine Roast 香烤腌猪肉 RM13 Roast Pork Marinated Berry Sauce

Pork belly marinated with Yamabuki special sauces and different kinds of fruits like berries and pears, grilled slowly and finally dressed with thick sauce. Give me a bowl of rice to douse the sauce with!

IMG_7832

 Come for their savoury dishes, stay for their dessert. Awesome cakes they have, all made by the lady boss. Selections may vary on different days and during our visit, there’s New York Cheese Cake, Cheese Souffle, Raspberry Cheese Cake, Fondont Au Pecan, Black Cocoa with Milk Chocolate Ganach, Tart au Figues, Caramel Nuts Tart and more, all priced within RM12.

IMG_7824

Le choix Gateau au chocolat

No lies. This chocolate cake is soooooooooooooooooooo sinfully delicious!! Made using high quality imported chocolate with three layes of texture – softer at the upper layer and getting denser towards bottom, very rich and creamy, with deep chocolaty slowly melt in the mouth.

IMG_7829

Caramel Nuts Tart RM12

IMG_7827

Tart Au Figues RM12

Summergirl likes their Tart Au Figues, a less found dessert in Klang Valley. Sticky chewy fig filling nestled within crumbly tart, not too sweet, just nice with lots of dried fruit like bites from fig. Caramel Nuts Tart is equally good too, more crunch from the nuts brimming over the tart, laced with caramelized sweetness.

Comments: Honestly, we like this restaurant a lot. Dessert here is high recommended, even though udon and Japanese main dishes carry a bigger role here. Must-visit ya.
