Eight @ Mansion | Happy Mansion, Section 17

My cousin often goes to Happy Mansion for dinner with my aunt. Last week while she was there she came across a newly opened restaurant. She went to check out the menu and suggested we come here for dinner at Eight@Mansion.  

It was a last-minute decision and the place was full when we arrived. Best to make a reservation if you decide to come here. Fortunately for us, we were able to get a table.

We wanted to try the pork ribs but it was sold out 😔 

We were a bit disappointed but ordered other dishes to try. 
(my handwriting is horrible so I blur it out 😁)

Help yourself to the water (self-service). 

Mushroom soup (RM17). When it came we were a bit surprised....because the bowl was huge while the portion of the soup was quite small 😅 Despite the small portion, the soup was pretty good. 

Bacon & Peanut Pork Burger (RM22) 

Teriyaki Pork Burger (RM20)

Pretty good homemade miso infused pork patty. 

Carbonara (RM28) - creamy and rich 😋

Grilled Salmon Fillet (RM38) Salmon was cooked perfectly and goes great with the salad. 

A healthy option for those who are watching their calories 😁 

It would be ideal to make a reservation beforehand, as well for the pork ribs. Currently they're only accepting cash payment but they're in the process of getting the payment terminal. Overall the food is delicious and the service is good. Should come back to try their pork ribs.

Ichiriki Japanese Restaurant @ The Gardens Mall

It's been a while since I have tonkatsu and decided to check out Ichiriki Japanese restaurant which specialized in tonkatsu. 

They were having this opening promotion when we were here. 

The interior of the restaurant is pretty spacious and cozy. The only thing we dislike was the light that was right above us, which we find a bit too glaring for our eyes.  

Ichiriki has several set menu to choose from, as well as ala carte.

Cute Money Saving Change Box

I was walking around at Midvalley today when I came across this cute money saving box. There were few designs but found these the cutest. Looks good as display right? I was so tempted to get it when I first saw it. 

My personal favorite is this box. Looks like savings for travel ✈️ Every month I have to put away some of my earning so that I can travel to my favorite country...Japan 😁

I got to admit, I was so tempted to get it but I didn't. Nowadays I tend to think consistently before purchase. I just take these pictures and wait for a few days to decide if I still want it.  For now, I just keep my money in the bank 🏦💰

I found these 2 pictures on my phone when I was in Singapore a while back. I really like the 'Travel Fund' box. I thought about getting it when I first saw it. Somehow I've forgotten all about it 😁

There were other designs as well. They look really pretty for display. Not sure how it looks once you put money in it though.

Hotel Review: UNIZO INN Kanazawa Hyakumangoku Dori

There're many options while looking for accommodation in Kanazawa. This round I was traveling with a friend so budget is something I have to consider, other than convenience and comfort. Eventually, I booked a room at UNIZO INN Kanazawa Hyakumangoku Dori.

When we arrived at Kanazawa Station, we went and bought a one day pass (500 yen) at the counter (pic below).  It's easier and faster getting to the hotel by bus. 

You can take the Kenrokuen Shuttle or the Loop Bus (Left Loop) and get off at the next stop at Omicho Market. It's only 4 minute walk to the hotel from Omicho Market.

We were famished when we arrived at the hotel and we left our luggage and walked back to Omicho Market to have our lunch (we can only check-in after 2pm). Our first meal in Kanazawa is the best!!! No kidding, look at the picture below to see what we have for lunch 😋 🔽

If you're wondering where we have our lunch, this restaurant is located on the 2nd floor. You can check out their website here.
