Kura Japanese Restaurant at One World...

We went to Kura at One World Hotel for wifey's birthday as we had heard good things about it. Also, the choice of ala-carte Japanese was deliberate as this week was sheer gluttony. (Wed - King Crab, Thu - Kura, Fri - Serena Brasserie, Sat - Hooi Loong) So something light yet sufficiently refined to slot in between those feasts.

We were seated at what I can only describe as cubicle. On the plus side it gave us a lot of privacy, but felt rather claustrophobic initially. The menu was rather intimidating with a huge selection. For simplicity's sake, I ended up ordering the Rokkaku Bento (RM65) for wifey and the Sakura Chirashidon Zen (RM35) for myself. Here are the pics of both, the larger set is the Rokkaku Bento. Taken with incredibly crappy Nokia 2mp phone.

Rokkaku Bento

Sakura Chirashidon Zen

To sum it up, it was very satisfactory. Portions were large, so much so by the end we felt a bit like we had just hit a buffet. Quality was more than decent, with the sashimi on wifey's bento deserving mention. Wifey usually likes her sashimi with lots of wasabi and shoyu, but this time she didn't touch either. According to her, the fish was great enough on its own. And lastly, price? Very fair for the portions, quality and environment. Service was also very prompt, though the staff looked a bit confused at times.
