Fukuya's sister restaurant has become the pioneering outlet at Terrace @ Hock Choon.
For now, it's not as popular as Il Divo, the only other restaurant currently open at this location. Still, it's a serene, stately place with solid potential.
Don't expect a replica of Fukuya though. There are subtle similarities in the ambience, but Fukuharu's menu seems less adventurous than Fukuya's so far.
Complimentary chawanmushi. I'm not a big fan of chawanmushi, but this was pretty worthwhile. We enjoyed the silky texture and the generous helpings of chicken, mushrooms and other goodies encased within.
Sashimi salad. Alas, the fresh ingredients were drowned in an overly heavy sauce.
Unagi and soft shell crab makis. Satisfactory but not spectacular.
Complimentary white wine. Wheeeee! Enough to make us happy campers.
Fukuharu,

It may be too early to pass judgment on this place; hopefully in a few weeks, it might live up to its big sister's well-earned reputation.

ReplyDeleteComplimentary wine?? part of their opening promo or wat?
Haha, the name really reminded me of Fukuya, a restaurant which we love a lot. :) Fukuharu looks nice too, wonder where's terrace in Hock Choon. Will find out later when we're back in KL. :)
ReplyDeleteThxs for the tip! I must go check this place out. Weird, with this econ climate, I would think new restaurants won't be opening but I guess I'm wrong.

ReplyDeletenomad: nopes, the owners were enjoying their own wine-tasting while we were there, so they generously offered us some!
ReplyDeletesugar bean: just opposite the ampwalk mall!
