KNK Yakiniku Japanese Charcoal BBQ in Bay Avenue

Kannichikan Yakiniku (KNK) opened in Bay Avenue in March this year, making the outlet the third one in Malaysia after the ones in Tanjong Tokong and Desa Sri Hartamas. The Tanjong Tokong outlet has been around for over ten years now. 

KNK specializes in Japanese charcoal barbeque and is most notable for serving premium grade Wagyu beef. The grilling is done by diners over a charcoal brazier built into the table.

The restaurant is well ventilated and air-conditioned making the grilling experience a comfortable one. The meat was quick to cook and retained the original flavours and succulence. 

KNK also offers value-for-money set menus for lunch and dinner. Check out the review on thestar online here.

Wellness Recipe Organic Cafe

(Sorry for the long hiatus folks. My busy schedule has gotten the better of me. For those who've been back here to check on my blog, thanks for your patience.)

Wellness Recipe is an organic cafe that serves healthy organic food without MSG and low in salt. 

The menu is elaborate with set meals and ala-carte items. The items are mostly vegetarian but for those who can't live without meat, read this: Wellness Recipe also serves organic chicken, so fret not. You can even opt for the Hakka Lei Cha, Nasi Ulam, Asam Laksa or Korean style Hot Pot, amongst others (check out the full menu here).

I bought two vouchers from Groupon so we made our maiden visit to the cafe a few weeks ago to claim the vouchers before they expire. 

I paid RM9.90 for each voucher for a choice of Yin Yang Spaghetti or Mushroom Fried Rice or Tom Yam Noodles and Barley Green Honey Drink (voucher value RM21.70) 

We immediately liked the cottage inspired decor with green hues and cozy ambiance. We opted for the spaghetti and fried rice and paid extra for the signature Organic Chicken and an additional glass of bitter gourd honey drink. 

Wellness Recipe promotes wellness juicing programmes so there is a host of interesting fruit beverages on the menu.  

We truly enjoyed the meal especially the fresh and whole ingredients used. This is what I call good wholesome food minus the guilt. 

Barley Green Honey Drink (RM5.90)

Mushroom Fried Brown Rice (RM13.80)

Bitter Gourd Honey (RM4.90)
