This restaurant came on my radar after my Mom packed their otak-otak fo me. It reminded me of a really good homemade otak-otak I had in a Penang cooking class. I could taste real fish (not diluted with too much flour) and the pleasant combination of spices. So we decided to have lunch here again …

I heard about this up-and-coming fine dining restaurant from a few food enthusiasts for a while now. But I wasn’t the type that easily swayed by popular opinion. Perhaps having dined at some world-famous restaurants like Sukiyabashi Jiro and Dinner by Heston Blumenthal, I have rather high expectations. I study the restaurant menu and even …
Kansai, especially Osaka, is famous for its street food. I had wanted to learn to make these street snacks. After scouring for classes at Cookly, I picked Bunga Hijau Cooking Class in Kyoto.
