Kirishima Shuzou (霧島酒蔵) Japanese Restaurant @ Crystal Crown Hotel, JB

My Rating for Kirishima Shuzou: (4/6)

57 57 57 57

I keep hearing raving great reviews of Kirishima Shuzou Japanese Restaurant over at Johor Bahru but never did get a chance to try it out. Until recently. Well, I could hardly stay out of Japanese food anyway so it is a matter of time before I try it out!


Kirishima Shuzou Japanese Restaurant(霧島酒蔵)is located in Crystal Crown Hotel. The food is prepared by Japanese chefs, and there is a wide range of sake (meaning “wine” in Japanese) specially imported from Japan. It gets crowded here during the evening, when you can see many Japanese coming here for drinks and chit chatting.

It is well-decorated potraying various types of genuine sake

Going further inside, there's a non-smoking area where you can sit in comfortable leather sofas, and the surroundings are quieter.

Ramen Set with a bowl of simple ramen, california maki, side dish, pickle and fruit.

Pork chop with rice and egg (yummy!)

We walked away from Kirishima Shuzou feeling 'stuffed' but contented. It is one of the few authentic Japanese Restaurant in Johor Bahru. A good meal all in all.

Located next to the Alor budget inn, there is a stall selling frog porridge every night.

Frog Porridge located @ 36, Jalan Alor

17042009061 Frog cooked in “Kung pou” style with dried chili. The frog meat was sweet and tender.

17042009060 With the Plain Porridge, the "Kung Pou" gravy was then poured into it and add in some frog meat. Yummy.

The place is not very clean but the porridge is sweet, fresh and serve well with spicy sauce together.

BBQ Chicken @ Jaya One, PJ

My Rating for BBQ Chicken: (3/6)

79 79 79
BBQ Chicken has grown to be the No. 1 franchise brand in Korea with franchises all over the world. According to the fact, BBQ Chicken created Olive Luxury Chicken and was the first to use only 100% Extra Virgin Olive Oil imported from Spain (which is several times more expensive than other cooking oil) to fry chicken. According to them, they use only the best and freshest ingredients in their restaurant and consumers can be assured that they are served with quality chicken meal.

The name BBQ chicken is extremely confusing as one's brain immediately tunes it to stand for barbeque chicken. "BBQ" here stood for "Best of the Best Quality". Anyway, their main pitch was that they used extra virgin olive oil and 30 natural seasonings to fry their "Olive Luxury Chicken."

This is the first time I'm trying out BBQ Chicken, self acclaiming as Korea's No. 1 Chicken Restaurant located at Jaya One, Petaling Jaya.

Unlike other places, their promise to the customer is a healthier meal as they fry their chicken in extra virgin OLIVE OIL. Note that although people don't usually use olive oil to deep fry items due to it's low smoking point, BBQ Chicken claims they have developed a special olive oil which has a higher smoking point. The olive oil used at this outlet is specially brought in from Korea. To enhance their food quality, they even have a Chicken University in Korea where they develop the food and train the franchise holders.


The original chicken

There are several different flavors of sorbet.

I had orange sorbet in a real orange shell. Yummy!

The only setback of this place is the higher prices which may drive the customer towards Kentucky Fried Chicken. However, I wouldn’t mind paying more for fried chicken that is more healthy.
