It was a rainy night a few weeks back when this incident occurred. It was a special night for Vic and I, so we decided to try something we've never done before
SPERM
I ate sperm. Well, to be exact, BOTH Vic and I digested sperm!
HAHAHAHA! I bet a few of you grossed out at the title of this entry, but I assure the all mentioned above did take place
Since everyone assumes that bloggers blog about every disgusting little dirty detail in their lives, I'm going to give you the low down of that scandalous night
Where the sinning took place: Xenri D'River View in Wisma Elken, Old Klang Road
What it sperm tastes like: Chawanmushi
What sperm costs: RM28
What sperm looks like:
Wha? What? Waitaminute.... I'm talking about food. Not whatever xxx things I lead you into thinking that I was talking about. Teeheehee
The picture above and below are of Tara Shirako also known as Cod Fish Sperm Sacs. And they taste pretty much like chawanmushi, folks. Texture wise, it was rather mushy with a buttery feel
Vic and I have been meaning to try Xenri for the longest time when I first heard about this place from Chze Hong. Thus, to celebrate a special occasion for the both of us, we headed over to Xenri for a royal feast
Everyone has been commenting that Vic lost a lot of weight and I am positively jealous because I am getting nothing but fatter. *glares at Vic*
And no. I'm not naked, just wearing a black tube dress with pink flowers
The Mizuna Salad (RM18). We were told that this was a very special Japanese salad dressed with wasabi sauce
Next up, Igloo Sashimi! At RM138, this is the most expensive dish we've ever ordered for the both of us. But this is also the best sashimi we've both ever had in our 59 years of living (25+34)
The sashimi is insanely fresh. The tuna oh-so-freaking-soft-that-it-really-melts-in-your-mouth! Salmon uber yummy and the other fishes were so so lovely. Sharks must have a grand ole time eating raw fish. Haha. Bonus points for the cute igloo and decor that came along with the sashimi; though Vic believes that they priced all that in
Ta-ta-tasty!
Grill Tuna Jaw (RM68) was also another highlight of the dinner. That jaw came from one big Tuna! It was the length of my forearm and was grilled to perfection. Crispy skin with soft tender flesh. Gawd, I'm salivating thinking about this dish
This is a must for all fish lovers
Cute teapot here is Dobin Mushi (RM16), seafood soup
A squeeze of lime adds zest to the soup. Yums
Garlic fried rice (RM9). Nothing terribly fantastic with this one, but it did not disappoint either. I guess, it is almost impossible to screw up garlic fried rice?
I heart Hotate Ringgoyaki (RM25) aka Scallops in an Apple. Another aesthetically pleasing dish that made my tums happy
Scallops with apple cubes in some kinda creamy custard-like sauce
Master of the Obvious: pictures of the menu
The green tea ice cream (RM8) was pretty good! One of the best I've tasted in KL, but still losing out to Ma Maison's in Singapore
Xenri is located at a quiet corner off Old Klang Road. You would never find this place unless you blur blur make wrong turn. At night and weekends, there's ample free parking.
For reservations, call 03-7783 8118.
I recommend this place for a nice party or a romantic dinner.
They have private rooms too!
Soooooooooo stuffed.
After dinner, we went to inspect Vic's new house. There was an intruder there.
He was green, slimy and looked like a frog.
SHOO!
