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.

Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at nextgentrendzone produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.
Felt this in a way I cannot quite explain, the topic just hit different here, and a stop at lunarfieldtraders continued in that vein, sometimes you find a site whose perspective lines up with how you have been thinking and reading their work feels like a small relief which I appreciated more than I expected.
Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at nextgenstorefront added another piece I will incorporate, content that connects to specific projects I am working on is content with practical utility and the practical utility of this site is showing up across multiple posts I have read in the last hour or so.
Now noticing that the post avoided the temptation to be funny in places where humour would have undermined the substance, and a stop at brightforgecraft maintained the same restraint, knowing when to be serious is a rare editorial virtue and this site has clearly developed it through what I assume is careful editorial practice over years.
Recommended without reservation for anyone interested in the topic at any level of expertise, and a look at eliteflashcorner only strengthens that recommendation, this site clearly knows how to serve readers across a range of backgrounds without watering down the content or talking past anyone in the audience which is genuinely impressive to see.
Walked away with a clearer head than I had before reading this, and a quick visit to crystalbloommarket only sharpened that, the writing has a way of cutting through the noise that surrounds most topics online which is something I will definitely remember the next time I am searching for an answer to anything.
Picked a friend mentally as the audience for this and decided to send the link, and a look at stylishbuycorner 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.
Reading this prompted me to clean up some old notes related to the topic, and a stop at goldenmeadowstore extended that organising urge, content that triggers personal organisation rather than just consuming attention is content with motivating energy and this site has the kind of clarity that prompts active follow up rather than passive consumption.
Worth flagging that this approach to the topic is fresh without being contrarian, and a stop at blueharborcrafts extended the same fresh angle, finding original perspective on familiar subjects is rare and this site has clearly developed its own way of seeing rather than echoing the dominant takes from elsewhere consistently.
Thanks for the practical examples scattered through the post rather than abstract theory only, and a look at velvetfieldstore continued that grounded style, abstract points are easier to remember when paired with concrete situations and the writers here clearly understand how readers actually retain information from blog content reading sessions.
My usual pattern is to skim and bounce but this site has reset that pattern temporarily, and a stop at freshcarthub maintained the slower reading mode, content that changes how I read is content with structural influence and this site has clearly nudged my reading behaviour toward something better at least for the duration of these visits.
Most of the time I bounce off similar pages within seconds, and a stop at trendyvaluehub held me longer than I would have predicted, the ability to convert a likely bouncing visitor into an engaged reader is a quality signal and this site has demonstrated that conversion ability across multiple visits where I expected to bounce.
Glad I gave this a chance instead of bouncing on the headline, and after goldencreststore I was certain I had made the right call, snap judgements based on titles miss a lot of good content and this is a reminder to slow down and check things out before scrolling past in a hurry.
Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at velvetpetalstore did not change that at all, this is one of the better corners of the open internet for this kind of content and I am glad I clicked through rather than skipping past quickly like I usually do.
Recommend this to anyone who values clear thinking over flashy presentation, and a stop at digitalcartarena continued in the same understated way, this site has its priorities in the right place which makes it worth supporting through repeat visits and recommendations rather than just one passing read today before moving on quickly elsewhere.
Generally I find the content on similar topics frustrating in specific ways and this post avoided all of them, and a look at goldendunemarket continued that frustration free experience, content that sidesteps the standard failure modes of its genre is content with editorial awareness and this site has clearly studied what fails elsewhere consistently.
Now planning to come back when I have the right kind of attention to read carefully, and a stop at frostbaycollective reinforced that plan, choosing the right moment to read certain content is a quiet form of respect for the work and this site is generating those careful planning behaviours from me consistently as a reader.
Quality you can feel from the first paragraph, the writer clearly knows the topic and how to share it, and a quick look at digitaltrendstation confirmed the same depth runs throughout the rest of the site as well which is rare and worth pointing out when it happens online for any reader passing through.
Coming back tomorrow when I can give this a proper read, the post deserves better attention than I can give right now, and a look at urbanpetalmarket suggests there is plenty more here that deserves the same treatment, definitely a site I will be exploring properly over the next few days when I can.
Quietly enjoying that I have found a new site to follow for the topic, and a look at goldenhorizonmarket reinforced the small pleasure of the find, the discovery of new high quality sources is one of the more durable pleasures of careful internet reading and this site has been generating that discovery pleasure at multiple points already today.
Closed the laptop after this and let the ideas settle for a few hours, and a stop at mysticbaystore similarly rewarded reflective time, content that benefits from sitting with rather than racing past is the kind I want more of and the kind that this site appears to consistently produce week after week here.
Worth recognising that the post did not pretend to be the final word on the topic, and a stop at elitetrendcenter continued that humility, content that admits its own scope and limits is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to know what it can and cannot claim well.
Looking at the surface design and the substance together this site has both right, and a look at rapidgoodszone 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 back to this twice now in the same week which is unusual for me, and a look at mysticoakmarket suggested I will keep coming back, the kind of post that earns repeated visits rather than one and done reading is the gold standard for content quality and this site clearly hit that standard.
Reading this in the time it took to drink half a cup of coffee, and a stop at goldensproutgoods fit naturally into the second half, content that respects the rhythms of a typical morning is content with practical fit and this site has the kind of length and pacing that works for the way I actually read.
Speaking as someone who used to recommend blogs frequently and got out of the habit this site is rekindling that impulse, and a look at urbancartarena extended the rekindling, the recovery of an old habit triggered by encountering work that justifies it is itself a small kind of pleasure and this site is providing that recovery experience.
Just enjoyed the experience without needing to think about why, and a look at stonelightemporium kept that effortless feeling going, sometimes the best content is invisible in the sense that you forget you are reading until you reach the end and realise time has passed without you noticing it pass naturally.
Appreciate how nothing here feels copied or pieced together from other places, the voice is consistent and the tone stays human, and after I checked fastpickzone I noticed the same style holds, which is a small detail but it makes the whole experience feel personal rather than like another generic site.
Will recommend this to a couple of friends who have been asking about this exact topic, and after velvetcrestmarket I have even more reason to do so, the kind of site that earns word of mouth rather than chasing it through aggressive marketing or paid placements is always a treat to find online.
Now placing this in the small category of sites whose updates I would actually want to know about, and a stop at blossomsprucegoods confirmed that placement, the difference between sites I want to follow and sites I just consume from is real and this one has crossed into the active follow category from the casual consumption side.
Worth pointing out the careful word choice in this post, no buzzwords and no jargon, and a look at echoferncollective 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.
Beats most of the alternatives on the topic by a noticeable margin, and a look at smartpickcorner did not change that at all, this is one of the better corners of the open internet for this kind of content and I am glad I clicked through rather than skipping past quickly like I usually do.
Reading this on a difficult day was a small bright spot, and a stop at vividcartzone extended that brightness, content that improves a hard day is content that has earned a particular kind of place in my reading habits and this site is occupying that uplifting role for me today which I appreciate clearly.
Vague feelings of recognition kept surfacing as I read because the writing names things I have been thinking, and a look at urbanlatticehub produced more of those recognition moments, content that gives shape to private intuitions is content that makes me feel less alone in my own thinking and this site has that effect.
If patience for careful reading is rare these days finding sites that reward it is rarer still, and a stop at onecartonline extended that rare reward, the diminishing returns on shallow content reading have made me more selective about where to spend reading time and this site is meeting the higher selectivity bar consistently.
A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at blossomhavenstore continued that respectful approach, content that does not over explain what the reader can infer is content that respects intelligence and this site has clearly chosen to write to capable readers rather than to the lowest common denominator.
Now feeling the post has earned a proper recommendation rather than a casual mention, and a stop at amberoakcollective reinforced the recommendation strength, the difference between mentioning and recommending is a small editorial distinction I observe in my own conversations and this site has earned the upgraded recommendation level from me confidently today.
Bookmark moved to my permanent reference folder rather than the casual maybe later folder, and a look at driftwoodvalleygoods earned the same upgrade, the distinction between casual interest and lasting reference is something I track carefully and very few sites cross that threshold but this one did so without much effort apparently.
Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at clevercartzone extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.
A satisfying piece in the way that good meals are satisfying rather than just filling, and a look at amberlighthousegoods extended that satisfaction, the metaphor between content and meals is one I find useful and this site reads as a satisfying meal rather than the empty calories that most content provides for casual readers.
Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at trendinggoodsmarket maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.
Worth flagging that this approach to the topic is fresh without being contrarian, and a stop at velvetharborgoods extended the same fresh angle, finding original perspective on familiar subjects is rare and this site has clearly developed its own way of seeing rather than echoing the dominant takes from elsewhere consistently.
Spent a few minutes here and came away with a clearer picture of the topic, the writing keeps things simple without dumbing them down, and after a stop at silverlaneemporium the rest of the points lined up neatly which is something I appreciate when I am short on time and need answers fast.
Skipped the comments to avoid spoilers and came back later to find them genuinely worth reading, and a stop at ambercrestmarket extended that surprised respect, when the discussion below a post matches the quality of the post itself you have found something special and this site appears to attract that kind of audience.
Now thinking about how this post will age over the coming years, and a stop at vibrantcartcorner suggested the same durability, content built to age well rather than to capture the attention of the moment is content with a different kind of value and this site has clearly chosen the long horizon over the short one.
Now noticing that the post benefited from being neither too short nor too long for its content, and a look at frostharvestgoods continued that calibration of length, sites that match length to content rather than padding to hit some target are sites that respect both their material and their readers and this site does both.
Now feeling slightly more committed to my own careful reading practices having read this, and a stop at trendycartcenter reinforced that commitment, content that models the kind of attention it deserves is content that calibrates the reader and this site has clearly raised my own bar for what to bring to good writing today.
Bookmark added with a small mental note that this is a site to keep, and a look at nextgenbuyhub reinforced the keep status, the verb keep rather than visit captures something about how I think about this kind of site and it is a higher tier of relationship than I have with most places online today.
Sets a higher bar than most of what shows up in search results for this topic, and a look at radiantmaplestore did not lower that bar at all, in fact it confirmed the impression, this is the kind of consistency that earns a place in regular rotation for serious readers instead of casual scrollers passing through.
Found something new in here that I had not seen explained this way before, and a quick stop at amberpetalcollective expanded the idea even further, the kind of writing that nudges your thinking forward a bit without forcing the issue is exactly what I look for online today and rarely actually find anywhere.
