It was totally in a sudden Lee Peng made her mind to take Dr Masahawa Kagawa, our ISAK workshop speaker to have dinner together on Monday’s night. After a long consideration and discussion, we decided to take Dr Masa to have dinner at a Chinese restaurant at Setapak.
Fish Head Curry. This was the signature dish of the restaurant. This dish consisted of the usual ingredients like cabbages, brinjals, lady fingers, pepper chilies, fish head, spices and the coconut milk. Its scenting aroma successfully trickled all of our salivary. Its spiciness was within our acceptance limit, especially for Dr Masa who was not familiar with spicy hot food. “I like it. It is great!!” commented by Dr Masa.
Stir-fried Sweet-potato Leaves with Belacan. Since Dr Masa would like to try some local special food, we decided to order this dish due to several reasons. First, we guessed sweet-potato leaves were seldom eaten by Japanese. Second, belacan paste was our local specialty and for sure it would be used in Japanese cooking. Once again, we would like to challenge Dr Masa’s acceptance towards spicy food. However, it seemed like this dish was a bit salty for him probably because he accidentally bitten a pinch of salt. Overall, the leaves were soft and tasted great with the belacan paste.
Pandan Leaves Chicken. Wrapped with the pandan leaf was the deep fried seasoned chicken rib. The meat was tender, juicy and full of aromatic spices scent. I bet you totally irresistible to have a second bite of it after finishing your first bite. Dr Masa was curious to know about how is the pandan plant look like. Again, he was satisfied with this dish by showing his thumb up.

Chicken Herbal Soup. This soup was cooked with plentiful ingredients and its taste was fantastic. It was clear, not oily and naturally sweet. We would like to have a second bowl of it but the portion of the soup was just enough for everyone to have a try. By the way, Dr Masa was shocked by the big hard skin attached chicken leg. 
Great Dinner with Dr Masaharu Kagawa. We leave the restaurant contentedly.
