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.

Will be back, that is the simplest way to say it, and a quick visit to xvmade reinforced the decision, this site has earned a spot in my regular rotation alongside a few other reliable places I check when I want something genuinely informative without all the usual modern web noise getting in the way.
Now saved this in a way that I will actually find again rather than the casual bookmark approach, and a stop at prosperit earned the same careful saving, organising my reading bookmarks so that high quality sources rise to the top is something I should do more of and this site triggered that organisation today.
Quality work here, the post reads cleanly and the points stay focused throughout, and a stop at devalpha kept the standard high, you can tell the writer cares about the final result rather than just hitting publish for the sake of having something new on the page to feed the search engines.
Pass this along to anyone you know dealing with similar questions, the answers here are clear, and a stop at sparkengine adds even more useful material, this is the kind of resource that deserves to circulate widely rather than getting lost in the constant churn of new content online that buries good work daily.
Felt this in a way I cannot quite explain, the topic just hit different here, and a stop at blog33be 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.
Sets a higher bar than most of what shows up in search results for this topic, and a look at shiftspot 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.
Quality you can feel from the first paragraph, the writer clearly knows the topic and how to share it, and a quick look at website66and 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.
Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at blog33republican continued the above average performance, the calibration of judgement against potential overstatement is something I take seriously and this site clears the higher bar even after that calibration applies.
A piece that reads as if the writer trusted readers to fill in obvious gaps, and a look at ideaink 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 thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at softnode continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.
Picked up something useful for a side project, and a look at argonarmor 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.
Reading this triggered a small change in how I think about the topic going forward, and a stop at blog33or reinforced that subtle shift, the rare content that actually moves my thinking rather than just confirming or filling it is the kind I most value and this site is providing that kind of impact today.
Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at trendreach 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.
A particular pleasure to read this with a fresh coffee, and a look at blog44happy extended the pleasure across more pages, content that pairs well with quiet morning rituals is something I have come to value highly and this site has the kind of energy that fits naturally into a calm reading routine.
A piece that did not require external context to follow, and a look at prosperit maintained the same self contained quality, content that stands alone without forcing readers to chase prerequisites is more accessible and this site has clearly thought about how each piece can serve a fresh visitor rather than only existing members.
During my morning reading slot this fit perfectly into the routine, and a look at blog33operation extended that perfect fit into the rest of the routine, content that matches the rhythm of how I actually read rather than demanding accommodation from my schedule is content well calibrated to its likely audience and this site has it.
Will recommend this to a couple of friends who have been asking about this exact topic, and after pinoyflix 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.
Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at frostpetalemporium 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.
Liked the careful word choice throughout, every term seemed picked for a reason rather than thrown in casually, and a stop at appthrive 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.
Yesterday I was complaining about the state of online writing and today this site has temporarily fixed that complaint, and a look at pawsandpalspalace 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.
Just want to flag that this was useful and not bury the appreciation in caveats, and a look at andreadaniels earned the same direct praise, recognising good work without hedging it with criticism is something I try to practice because over qualified compliments tend to read as backhanded and miss the point sometimes.
Now saved this in a way that I will actually find again rather than the casual bookmark approach, and a stop at questqube earned the same careful saving, organising my reading bookmarks so that high quality sources rise to the top is something I should do more of and this site triggered that organisation today.
Excellent execution from start to finish, the post never loses its rhythm and the points stay sharp, and a quick stop at tacttools kept the same level going, consistency like this across a site is the marker of a serious operation rather than a casual side project running on autopilot somewhere else.
Speaking from the perspective of a fairly demanding reader the writing here clears the bar consistently, and a look at blog44kill continued clearing that bar, the calibration of demanding reader is something I apply to all sources and this site has been one of the few that handles the demanding reading well across pieces sampled.
A genuine compliment to the writer for keeping the post focused on what mattered, and a look at synapseflow continued that disciplined focus, focus is a editorial choice that compounds across many small decisions and this site has clearly made those small decisions consistently across what I have read so far this week here.
Definitely a recommend from me, anyone curious about the topic should check this out, and a look at neoniche adds even more reason for that, the depth and quality combine to make this site one I will be pointing people toward whenever similar conversations come up over the months ahead at work or socially.
Now placing this in the small category of sites whose updates I would actually want to know about, and a stop at blog33our 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.
Found this through a search that was generic enough I did not expect quality results, and a look at berhadiahspin continued the surprisingly good experience, search engines occasionally still surface excellent independent content if you scroll past the obvious paid and high authority results which is reassuring to remember sometimes.
Considered alongside other sources I have been reading this one consistently rises to the top, and a stop at rapidstylecorner maintained that top ranking, the informal ongoing comparison between sources is something I do whenever reading on a topic and this site keeps coming out near the top of those comparisons over many sessions.
High quality writing, no marketing speak and no buzzwords that mean nothing, and a stop at validsync kept that going, simple direct content that actually communicates something is harder to find than it should be and this is one of the rare places that gets it right consistently across many different posts.
Generally I am cautious about recommending sites on first encounter but this one warrants the exception, and a look at blog33particularly 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.
If quality blog writing is dying as people sometimes claim then this site is one piece of evidence that it has not died yet, and a look at ignitehub extended that evidence, the broader cultural question about online writing has empirical answers in specific sites and this one is contributing to a more optimistic answer overall.
Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at silverbaymarket extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.
Decided I would read the archives over the weekend, and a stop at pulseengine confirmed that the archives would be worth the time, very few sites have archives I would actively read through but this one has earned that level of interest based on the consistent quality across what I have sampled so far.
Stands apart from similar pages by actually being useful, that is high praise these days, and a look at ravenpath kept that standard going, you can tell when a site is built around the reader versus around metrics and this one clearly belongs to the first category for sure based on what I read.
Liked the way the post handled the final paragraph, no neat bow but no abrupt cutoff either, and a stop at metricmart continued that thoughtful ending pattern, endings are hard and most blog writers either over engineer them or skip them entirely and this site has clearly figured out a sustainable middle approach.
Bookmarking this for later, the kind of resource I want to keep nearby, and a quick look at sparkengine confirmed the rest of the site is worth the same treatment, definitely going into my reference folder for the next time the topic comes up at work or in conversation with someone who asks.
Just want to acknowledge that the writing here is doing something right, and a quick visit to shiftspot 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.
Thanks again for the post, I learned a couple of things I can actually use later this week, and after I went over website66approach the rest of the site looked equally promising, definitely going to spend more time here when I get a free moment over the weekend to read more carefully.
Glad the writer kept this short rather than padding it out, the points stand on their own without needing extra context, and a look at tactpath kept the same approach going, brevity is a sign of confidence in the substance and the team here clearly trusts their content to land without filler.
The conclusions felt earned rather than tacked on at the end like an afterthought, and a look at webfountain kept that careful structure going, you can tell when a writer has thought about the shape of their post versus just letting it ramble out and hoping for the best at the end which most do.
Decided this was the kind of site I would defend in a discussion about good blog content, and a stop at blog44however reinforced that, very few sites earn active defence rather than passive consumption and this one has clearly crossed that threshold for me without needing any explicit pitch from the writers themselves either.
Reading this confirmed that the topic deserves more careful attention than it usually gets, and a stop at blog33against extended that elevated framing, content that raises the appropriate weight of a subject without being preachy about it is serving a quiet but important editorial function for the broader cultural conversation about it.
Bookmark added with a small note about why, and a look at blog44hard prompted another bookmark with another note, the bookmarks I annotate are the ones I expect to return to deliberately rather than stumble into and this site is generating annotated bookmarks at a higher rate than my usual content sources by some margin.
Strong recommendation, anyone interested in this topic owes themselves a visit, and a stop at gadgetbit 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.
Felt slightly impressed without being able to point to one specific reason, and a look at appelite continued that diffuse positive feeling, when content works at a level you cannot easily articulate the writer is doing something with craft rather than just delivering information and that is something I have learned to recognise.
Just wanted to say this was useful and leave a small note of thanks, and a quick visit to blog44various earned a similar nod from me, the small acknowledgements add up over time and represent the real economy of trust that good content runs on across the open and increasingly fragmented modern internet.
A piece that did not lecture even when it had clear positions, and a look at blog66beautiful maintained the same teaching without preaching tone, finding the line between informing and lecturing is hard and most sites land on the wrong side of it but this one has clearly figured out how to inform without becoming preachy.
If I am being honest this is the kind of site I quietly hope my own work will someday resemble, and a stop at orderomni extended that aspirational feeling, finding work that models what I want to produce is part of why I read carefully and this site has been performing that modelling function for me lately consistently.
A piece that built up gradually rather than front loading its main points, and a look at twilightoakgoods maintained the same gradual structure, content that trusts the reader to reach conclusions through accumulating reasoning is more persuasive than content that announces conclusions and then defends them and this site uses the persuasive approach.
