Bangi Sake Surprise
Yet another free dinner (yes, Zemien, another free dinner) from SK at Kampachi, Equatorial Hotel Bangi. This time due to her raise and a thank you gesture for helping out in her masters (which I so don't deserve). Joined by FK and KLT. Two others lepas kapal terbang. It's so hard to get people together these days. The logistics are a killer. Hotel Equatorial looks nice, with it's own garden, ala IOI Resort. Kampachi was quite small, but luckily SK got us a private room upstairs, away from the hustle and bustle. The spread isn't quite as big as I expected. Quite modest. You have the usual, salad bar, teppanyaki & sukiyaki station, tempura station, sashimi and sushi bar, dessert counter and non-japanese fare. Overall the food is good. Not too salty, the tastes are subtle. The sashimi is fresh. The unagi is perfect. Dessert was so-so, but the serve the all-time DOraemon favourite, Dorayaki. The service is above average. When I get the free dinner (*diabolical laugh*) from my colleague at Kampachi, Equatorial Kuala Lumpur, I'll be able to do a comparison.
Coincidentally, we ran into CPK the Workaholic. It turns out that he was on a weekend 'management meeting session'. He's so lucky to have a boss that only uses 5 star hotels. That aside, he was kind enough to bring us a bottle of sake (shssshh, on his company's tab). My very first sip of warm sake. Smells like rice wine, but the taste, so complex, so many layers. One thing I've learned is that cold sake is not cool. We goofed around a lot and took many photos that are really not publishable anywhere. Must be the sake. We were the last to leave, and after a spin around Putrajaya, we headed home.
