I went to Obake-Ya Restaurant with my friends after the Chinese New Year this year. I got to know this restaurant from forwarded email and the food review from people’s blog. The theme of the restaurant caught my attention. It was interesting to have a jail concept restaurant to serve Japanese food. I thought of giving it a try.
I felt the darkness when I first step into the restaurant. It was a bit dark inside. Just after you stepped into the restaurant, you can see a lot of wine on the rack and a Japanese ghost figure on the left hand side.
On the right, there is the restaurant signboard and the cashier.
This is the jail room that we have our meal. It was designed exactly like a jail room. However, it was too colorful if compare to the original jail room.
Just after we have our seat in the jail room, we immediately asked for the orders since we were like hungry ghost at that moment. Haha.
This is the menu and the cutlery set. The menu is colorful, isn’t it?
We ordered quite a number of food. Are you ready for the food photos? Please bear with me, there will be a lot of photos and some of them were taken in different angle!
Let’s start!!!
This is the special drink which was not in the menu. You need to ask for it if you want to have this drink. In deed, it was very special. The drink was served in the cylinder that we used it for the science experiment when we were in high school. On top of that, there is a syringe which was filled with the grape juice (If I was not mistaken). Very special right? It was a MUST order drink!
Next, it was the Fried Udon. We finished it quite fast. It was good. The Udon was not over cooked or under cooked. It was nicely fried and the taste was superb!
The Tempura was just a normal one. It was a bit oily. I forgot to take the photos together with the sauce.
Unagi, my all time favorite Japanese dish. Although Unagi was served in the same way in most of the Japanese restaurant, I still like it very much! Yummy Yummy~~~
Stone Rice. I forgot the exact name. I simply name it as Stone Rice. It was hot when the food arrived. The look of this dish was not really tempting at all.
Fried Golden Needle Mushroom. Recently, I was fall in love with this Golden Needle Mushroom. It was nice to have it during steamboat. For this Fried Golden Needle Mushroom, there were fried until so crispy. It was not enough for 6 of us. The serving was too little. We thought of re-order for one more plate but in the end, we decided to order other dish rather than the same one. Thumbs up!!
How can we missed the Sashimi, right? Here you go….
The Sashimi was nicely decorated when served. All of them are very fresh and good. If you like Japanese food, Sashimi is one of the dish that you cannot miss.
Japanese Pizza was the additional dish we ordered. Our stomach was not full after so many food we had. We asked for recommendation from the lady boss. Japanese Pizza was the one recommended by her. This Pizza was too salty to me. But the taste will just fantastic. Is it a bit salty will make the food become nicer to be eaten? I have no idea.
Last dish that we need to have while we dine in the Japanese restaurant was the Sushi. The Sushi Boat came with different kind of Sushi. It was not very special. That is the reason why I cannot remember how they are taste like. Oh, I just like Sushi.
If you need to go to the washroom, you will need to pass by a small and short distance bridge. I even take the photos of the washroom. Oh my…… I was so addicted on taking photos!
The sink was special.
Some random environment photos from Obake-Ya Restaurant.
The food was nice. The environment was superb. If you don’t have a chance to visit a jail, you can try to dine there to experience it. However, the price is at a higher range. For all the food we have ordered, the total price was around RM300. We have 6 people, including me, which means, ~ RM50 per person.

Better than most of the writing I have come across on this topic recently, simpler and more direct, and a look at blossomhavenmarket continued in that same way, a real outlier in a crowded space full of repetitive content that says little while taking up a lot of reader time today which is unfortunate.
Beyond the topic at hand this site reads as a small ongoing project of taking writing seriously, and a look at frostpinecollective reinforced that project quality, sites that treat publishing as an ongoing serious practice rather than as content production for traffic are sites worth supporting and this one has clearly chosen the serious approach.
Recommended to anyone working in or curious about this area, the depth and clarity combine well, and a look at goldenfernmarket keeps that going across more pages, the kind of site that earns regular visits rather than chasing trends has my respect because it suggests genuine commitment to the topic itself rather than to chasing trends.
Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at cloudridgegoods reinforced that ratchet effect, the way good content raises standards is real over time and this site has clearly contributed to raising my expectations for what is possible in writing on the topic generally.
Started a draft response in my head and ended without publishing it because the post said it well enough, and a look at radiantshorestore produced the same effect, content that satisfies my urge to add to it by being complete enough on its own is rare and represents a particular kind of editorial completeness here.
Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at rapidtrendzone extended that mood reversal, the short term mood improvement that comes from finding good content is real and this site has produced that improvement for me at a useful moment.
Will share this on a forum I am part of where it will be appreciated by others working in the same area, and a look at amberlighthousegoods suggests there is more here worth passing along too, definitely a generous resource that deserves a wider audience than it probably has today across the open internet.
Looking at this objectively the editorial quality is hard to deny even setting aside personal taste, and a stop at amberridgegoods maintained the same objective quality, the gap between what I personally enjoy and what is objectively well crafted exists and this site clears both bars simultaneously which is rarer than it sounds.
Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at echoferncollective continued that respect for the reader, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people to be hand held through every paragraph is something I notice and value highly across the open internet today.
Picked up a couple of new ideas here that I can actually try out, and after my visit to urbantrendzone I have even more notes saved, this is the kind of resource that pays you back for the time you spend on it which is rare to come across in this corner of the web.
Picked this up while looking for something else and ended up reading every paragraph because it was actually informative, and after echopetalbazaar I was sure I would come back, that does not happen often when most sites bury the useful parts under endless ads and pop ups today and across most categories online.
Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at urbantrendarena reinforced the exception making, the rare site that justifies breaking my normal cautious approach is the rare site worth flagging early and this one has prompted exactly that early flagging response from me.
Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to twilightcreststore confirmed the same standards run across the broader site, recognising good work is something I try to do when I find it because the alternative is silence and silence rewards mediocrity.
Taking the time to read carefully here has been worthwhile for the past hour, and a look at blossomhorizonstore extended the worthwhile reading, the calculation of return on reading time spent is something I do informally and this site has been producing positive returns across multiple sessions during the last week of regular visits and reads.
This one is staying open in a tab for the rest of the day so I can come back and re read certain parts, and a look at glowforgeessentials suggests I will be doing the same with a few more pages here too, this is going to be a deep dive over the coming hours.
Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at digitaldealcorner reinforced that integrated quality, sites where presentation and content reinforce each other rather than fighting are sites with full editorial coherence and this one has clearly invested in both layers in a balanced way.
Came in skeptical of the angle and left mostly persuaded, and a stop at echopinecollective pushed me a bit further in the same direction, content that can move a critical reader by argument rather than rhetoric is rare and worth pointing out because it indicates real substance underneath the surface presentation here.
Now feeling confident that this site will continue producing work I will want to read, and a look at blossombaycollective extended that confidence into the future, projecting forward from current quality to expected future quality is something I do for sites I genuinely follow and this one has earned that forward looking trust clearly today.
If you scroll past this site without looking carefully you will miss something, and a stop at digitaldealzone extended that mild warning, the surface of the site does not advertise its quality loudly which means careful attention is required to recognise what is being offered here which is itself a kind of editorial signal.
Picked a friend mentally as the audience for this and decided to send the link, and a look at velvetoakcollective confirmed the send was the right choice, choosing whom to share content with is a small act of curation that I take more seriously than the public sharing most platforms encourage these days online.
Worth recommending broadly to anyone who reads on the topic, and a look at digitalpickmarket only confirms that, the rare combination of accessibility and depth in this site makes it suitable for both newcomers and people who already know the area which is hard to pull off in any blog format today and rarely managed.
Strong recommendation, anyone interested in this topic owes themselves a visit, and a stop at echohollowmarket extends that recommendation across more of the site, this is the kind of resource that makes me more optimistic about the state of the open web than I usually am these days actually for once which is genuinely refreshing.
Glad to have another data point on a question I am still thinking through, and a look at goldendunemarket added two more, content that acknowledges its place in a wider conversation rather than pretending to settle the question alone is intellectually honest in a way that I wish was more common across the open web.
Worth pointing out the careful word choice in this post, no buzzwords and no jargon, and a look at urbanpinegoods continued that disciplined vocabulary, sites that resist the pull of trendy language are sites that will read well in five years and this one is clearly built for that kind of long durability.
Liked the post enough to read it twice and the second read found new things, and a stop at mysticthreadstore similarly rewarded the second look, content with hidden depths that only reveal themselves on careful rereading is the rare kind that earns lasting respect rather than fleeting first impressions only briefly held.
The post made the topic feel approachable without making it feel trivial, that is a fine balance, and a stop at amberpetalmarket maintained the same balance, finding the middle ground between welcoming and serious is genuinely difficult and the writers here have clearly figured out how to consistently hit it well across many different posts.
Came in skeptical of the angle and left mostly persuaded, and a stop at boldtrendmarket pushed me a bit further in the same direction, content that can move a critical reader by argument rather than rhetoric is rare and worth pointing out because it indicates real substance underneath the surface presentation here.
Stayed longer than planned because each section earned the next, and a look at blossomhavenmarket kept that pulling effect going across more pages, the kind of subtle pull that good writing exerts on attention is something I find harder and harder to resist when I encounter it on the open web today.
Now feeling something close to gratitude for the fact this site exists, and a look at echogrovecollective extended that gratitude, the rare site that produces this kind of response is the rare site worth defending in conversations about whether the modern internet is still capable of producing genuinely valuable independent content for serious adults.
Took a quick scan first and then went back to read properly because the post deserved it, and a stop at windcrestcollective kept me reading carefully too, the kind of writing that earns a slower second pass rather than getting skimmed and forgotten is something I value highly when I happen to find it.
Most blog writing on this subject reaches for the same handful of arguments and this post avoided them, and a look at besttrendstation continued the original treatment, content that finds its own path through territory other writers have flattened is content with real authorial energy and this site has plenty of that distinctive energy.
Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at silkduneemporium continued that precise style, this kind of attention to small details is what separates careful writing from the usual rushed content that dominates blog spaces today across pretty much every topic I follow.
Thanks for the honest framing without exaggerated claims that the topic will change my life, and a stop at stylishcartarena kept the same modest tone, restraint in marketing language signals trustworthiness and the writers here are clearly playing the long game by building credibility rather than chasing immediate clicks through hyperbole.
Felt like I was reading something written by someone who actually thinks about the topic rather than reciting it, and a look at epictrendcorner reinforced that impression, the difference between recited content and considered content is huge and this site clearly belongs to the latter category which I appreciate as a careful reader looking for substance.
Reading this confirmed that my time researching the topic in other places had not been wasted, and a stop at frostdunemarket extended the confirmation, when independent sources agree that is a useful signal and this site is one of the more reliable sources I have found for cross checking what I read elsewhere on similar subjects.
Closed the laptop and walked away thinking about the post for a good twenty minutes, and a stop at frostedenclavegoods produced similar lingering thoughts, content that survives the closing of the browser tab is content that has actually entered the mind rather than just decorating the screen for the duration of the reading.
Glad the writer did not feel the need to argue with imaginary critics in the post itself, and a stop at quickshoppingcorner kept the same focused approach going, defensive writing wastes the reader time and confidence on positions that did not need defending and this post has clearly avoided that common failure.
Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at brightcartfusion extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.
Started taking notes about halfway through because the points were stacking up, and a look at mysticthreadstore added enough material that my notes file grew further, content that demands note taking from a passive reader is content with substance and the writers here are clearly producing that kind of work consistently across topics.
Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at urbancrestemporium continued that confident closing approach, content that trusts readers to retain the substance without being reminded of it at the end is content that respects the reader and this site practices that respect.
