It's another weekend ^^ I love weekend very much, especially after I join working life... Always waiting for the weekend and keep on planning for a packed schedule for my every weekend as there's only 2 days of weekend in a week o.O Always try to make it special and meaningful......
So, today is another weekend as mentioned just now, was planned to go for Japanese lunch & afternoon tea with Ewin girl. We tried our best to arrange the best time for both of us to go together and today was chosen ^^ It's a good day today, we had our lunch at ISARIBI Japanese Restaurant located at Pulau Tikus area in Penang. We almost overlook their shop as the entrance of the shop is covered around 60% by the plants.... Luckily, we got it!

Let's go, bring you along for my half day journey ^^ We made reservation for our lunch set at 12pm and we reached earlier, around 11.30am. The kitchen will open at 12pm, so both of us just had some fun with their menu and photography session as usual :P The environment there is nice and comfortable, calm my mind and feel relax at the natural environment especially when you enter the restaurant. Outside of the restaurant is surrounded by plants and inside is decorated with vintage and classic style....... together with some unique items for decoration ^^

Japanese Food of the day |
Around 12.15pm, our food was served one by one.... it's a 5-courses Japanese set meal where we bought the voucher from Groupon. The set is included 2 pieces of King Prawn Thermidor, Tai Shabu Shabu, Shima-aji Cavlor and Salmon Carpaccio, 4 pieces of grilled tuna Maki, Sanma Kabayaki and free flow of green tea. The meal set cost us RM80 for 2 people, worth with it's delicious and yummy meal set ^^ Besides the set, we side ordered for their Chawanmushi and homemade Sesame & Raspberry ice cream.
Overall, their food is delicious and taste nice! Strongly recommend ^^ Their homemade ice cream is yummy too! Before having the meal, we had read through their menu, voucher is worth as mentioned cause normal price for ala-carte is quite expensive for me. Anyway, it's a good restaurant for you to try out Japanese food cause they serve a lot of Japanese Food. I saw the 纳豆spaghetti & other interesting japanese food, would like to try it out next round ^^

Inner Decorations |
Like their simple and sweet decorations especially their flowery wallpaper, I love it! So sweet ^^ Besides, love their handmade menu cover, a good match between the flowery linen cotton and the sweet laces. Their staffs are friendly when they deliver the menu and provide us the little basket for our handbags. Feel warm, credit in customer's perspective. Nowadays, customer not only focus on the food and drinks, but the environment and services too... like me ^^

Love their lovely menu covers |
As Ewin and I just finished our full lunch at Isaribi, we only ordered a afternoon tea set which come with 3 pieces of sandwiches, a scone, a cake, a tart and some biscuits. The sandwich is just so so but the scone taste nice. Wonder how is the taste of other flavours for scones as they serve quite a lot of choices for scone like chocolate, raisins and so on. What is lack off for me? I think is the sauces for the scone, haha! They only serve butter and strawberry sauce in the tea set, if there is cream, I think will be better and more delicious ^^
Other than that, what I wanna highlight is their tea pot set. OMG! As you know, I love handmade, I love their fabric covers for the tea pots. Every cover comes with different designs of fabrics and colours..... make it sophisticated and special. From their decorations to their services, can feel their "heart". Service is very important in nowadays business line, people focus on the respect and services.... credit to their handbag basket but offset it with the limitation of plates and accessories based on order. Haha! It's true, nothing is perfect :P
