Kissaten @ IOI Boulevard

There are so many new mix commercial buildings coming up in Puchong itself that I can't even follow with. I had passed by this new building called IOI Boulevard which is opposite IOI Mall for so many times but didn't have the chance to really go down and check it out. Well not until last weekend that is. You can see Umagi right in front of the place. There are other restaurants in the building but it's not fully occupied yet. I saw another German restaurant serving their local dishes but decided to give this restaurant a try which is opposite from each other. The name of the restaurant is called Kissaten, it means Cafe in Japanese.

If you saw the picture above, you noticed that the place is separated into two entrance being one for coffee and restaurant while the other for beer. Yes, the place served beer and German beer that is. They do have Sake but they are more focused on promoting Paulaner from the looks of it. They had plenty of Paulaner placed around the restaurant. They do served cakes and dessert too if you wanted something light. And they served Haagen Dazs ice cream in the house too. 

Their menu are big and very clear with plenty of beautiful pictures in them. They have this promo for 'buy 2 set free 1 set' for both dinner and lunch for weekdays. So if you are dining in for three, this is a good treat for you. I can say that the place served similar concept as Pasta Zanmai. They served fusion of Japanese and Western food together. But the variation of pasta in Zanmai are more varied whereas over here they have Steaks, Teppanyaki Burger, Pizzas and Udon. As mentioned earlier, they do served sets so do look at the end of the menu for them. Prices for lunch and dinner varies which I am not sure why. Maybe the size is different? 

Both of us had ordered Green Tea whereas mine comes with the set. Yes, it's refillable and they are very prompt with that too. Good point here. 

Katsu Curry Chicken - RM18.90

Babe decided to try their Katsu Curry Chicken Rice which was really large in portion. The chicken was plenty too. She couldn't even finished the chicken and rice at the end. Although the curry smells like any other Japanese restaurant but the texture over here are different. If you look carefully it's not that smooth. I think this is due to the pre-preparation of the gravy. I had better at Pasta Zanmai but this is not bad. 

Katsudon Set - RM24.80

As mentioned earlier the set comes with all the side dishes. The portion of the katsudon was really large. Even for me. There were really a lot of chicken on top of that bowl of rice. Egg was even distributed and it's still hot. It shows how fresh it is. As any other Katsudon, there's onions and egg being mixed together with the chicken and cooked before pouring it on top of the rice. Delicious, but anything more would be too much. 

Here's the side dishes which I mentioned earlier which comprises of Miso Soup, Cawanmushi, and Oshink. In the menu it shows a salad type of dessert sort of like coleslaw but they given me something else. Maybe they are out of salad. But anyhow, you will surely be full after finishing all of the above. 

The place is really new so all the seats and table are clean and brand new. There are plenty of seats even for large groups of people as both of the restaurants are linked to each another. The staffs are attentive and service is good. Will definitely return to try out their pizza and also the steak burgers. And before I forgot, they have another outlet which I think opened before this at Palm Square Jaya One. So for those who work in PJ, you can try it out over there too. (Rating: 4.0 out of 5.0)
