the "not very spacious" interior, got many seats, no worry for queue-ing at all.

KiKu Zakura Japanese Restaurant


樱菊日本料理



~ @ MidValley, Level 3

Date : 23 September 2007


Kimuchi soba with tempura + watermelon + gyoza + salad (Set), RM28
Hm, the soup is too salty, the salad is so-so + below average. The best thing was the gyoza! There was a whole shrimp in each gyoza beside minced chicken meat and vegetables, the thin outer layer of gyoza is pan-fried to crispy. The fullness of taste was just satisfaction. Among the best gyoza I've tasted.

Special set of the day, RM25. Comes with watermelon, salad and 2 pcs of fried salmon skin temaki.

Averagely so-so.

The fried salmon skin temaki can be the theme of the set. Good! With crispy fried salmon skin + cucumber + mayonaise + fish roe + rice rolled within the seaweed. Goes well with dip of soy sauce + wasabi. Taste so good with a good big bite into my mouth.

Service: Above average.

Hm, hot green tea charges RM2 each cup.....

Tuesday

Sayonara, Dino..... may u rest in peace

p/s: to understand better what happened, plz read "Dino's third miracle" in August.
This was taken 2 months ago, with Kiro, when both of them were still strong and healthy. Who would have expected them to fall sick after that....


30 Aug 2007 , this was the long awaited day that I was so longed to come back home to see my beloved family and doggies after 2 long months of away from home.

I miss my sick dogs very much, i wished to come back and give them a good hug.

However, when I reached home at midnight after a long ride of bus from KL back Johor, there was no one to welcome me with his wagging tail. I looked around for Dino, I looked for him under the car, I looked for him in front of the door, where he would usually be at. There was no sign of him.

I asked Daddy, "where is my DINO?"

Daddy answered with cold expression on his face, "Dino is gone. He is no longer here."

"What? What do u mean by he is gone? Where he went? Where is he?" I didn't understand what daddy was trying to tell. I asked mum again, "Where is Dino?"

"Dino passed away last wednesday" mummy answered.

Oh damn! Nobody told me anything about Dino!!! Not even when I was in the car on the way back home after daddy fetched me from the bus station! Not even when I occasionally asked sister on the phone about Dino before I come back! They just lied to me! Until the day I back home!

If I were to know Dino was in bad condition, I will not wait until holiday to come back. I was always told that Dino is doing well.....

Tears just flooded my eyes and rushed down my face whenever I could not stop myself from having the thoughts that I actually missed the last glance of my Dino even before he can still stand, before his death, before he was buried. I hate for being studying at KL, I hate exam during weekend, that I did not manage to come back earlier. I hate to have missed his last day.

This time, no more miracle. Dino's power has used up. I knew good things neva persist forever. God has decided to take him.



He was gone, forever. He was not able to wait for me until the day I grad.



And so gone my 1st dog, my beloved little brother.



I think I'm fine, as long as I don't listen to the new song from Ella (from the 3-gals-band, S.H.E), which was dedicated for her dog who had also just passed away. That song makes me think of my Dino badly. It makes me sad again. I won't listen to it anymore.



Dino, may you rest in peace with Miyo.


I will neva forget u, my dear. U will owiz be in my heart.

Goodbye, my luv.

2nd miracle of my beloved DINO

Which was the 2nd miracle on DINO, 2005 NOVEMBER.

A LETTER TO DINO
DINO:

这是我第二次为你哭了。 第一次是在你四个月大时。那时你跌断两条后腿,我们带你去看医生。医生给你照了X光后, 说你一辈子都站不起来了,为免以后辛苦,建议我们将你人道毁灭。当时我们都没有马上下决定,而是带你回家,想再观察你的情况。回家的一路上,我和大姐就一直哭一直哭。。。家中的第一只狗,才来到这个家没多久,这么快就要离开我们了?! 那时候,看着你拖着两条腿在地上爬,真的很心痛,以为你接下来的日子就只能瘫着了。

奇迹发生了。第三天,你站了起来。虽然还站不稳,但你的的确确是能够站了。也许是听到了我们为你祈祷,你自己也不愿这么快就放弃,以顽强的生命力,一定要再站起来。开心极了,我们每天为你擦药油,替你按摩,希望你能快点好起来。。。

这七年多来,你已经长得又可爱又聪明又健康又胖嘟嘟,活蹦乱跳,虽然永远没法以两脚站立太久,也跳不高,但都足够了。你为我们带来了这么多的欢笑。

这一次为你哭,但奇迹不会再发生。连续好几个夜晚,我都是哭着睡着。第二天醒来都希望一切只是一场恶梦,但现实总是残酷的。。。你已经回不来了。多希望你会像故事里的忠狗,即使是从几百哩远,也找得到回家的路。

大家都劝我看开点。放不下,我怎么能放得下?!一面要准备考试,一面又满脑子都是对你的不舍。你是我自一星期大时就带回家养的,从每天喂你喝奶,一直到你长大会吃饭,每天都在你身边。。。就像是家里的小儿子,全家都那么疼爱你。。。每次一想到连你的最后一面都看不到,我的心就都揪起来了。我对不起你。。。在你最无助的时候,我都没在你身边保护你,也想不出有任何方法可以阻止一切的发生。。。内疚的我,脑海里一直不停幻想你被抛弃时的表情,一定是楚楚可怜、一脸茫然。。。我还在KL做什么?若不是因为你,我怎么会想成为兽医?若不是因为你,我真的可以不顾反对、一直坚持到现在吗?如今我都还没当上兽医你就离开我了!

从来都没想过会这么快失去你。。。很后悔拥有你的时候没好好关心你。没有你,日子真的变得不一样了。晚餐时间再也听不到你的撒娇,你那像小鸟般的叫声。每当我心情不好时,你都会安慰我。。。每次回家都很期待,但这一次,不会再有你的迎接,再看不到你的尾巴转得像风扇那样快了。才刚为你买的骨头和零食,都没来得及让你吃完。。。开始有点害怕回到家的那一刻,看不见你的那一刻,我是不是会马上哭出来?!

你现在怎样了?还好吗?有没有被其他野狗欺负?一想到你从小就被灌坏,现在却得独自在外流浪受苦,眼泪就会不受控制地流下来。。。你这么胖,怎么抢得到食物?怎么吃得饱?你最怕下雨天了,遇到闪电打雷就全身发抖,现在你要到哪里去找避风港?你的脚若是受伤了该怎办?顽皮的小孩向你丢掷炮竹,你一定要快闪开!你憔悴时,会是什么样子?

我真的很想念你。。。每次一张张地翻看你的照片,就又忍不住哭了出来。看来我得将你的照片全藏起来了。你会不会自己跑回家来??? 我总是想起你跟我撒娇的样子, 你吃东西时的样子,跟我握手时兴奋的样子。。。你总会静静地坐下,要我帮你抓背;再慢慢地躺下,要我给你骚肚子。。。

希望你不要恨妈咪。。。不是妈咪的错,妈咪也舍不得将你抛弃的,你一定要记得,你生病时,都是谁在照顾你。。。不敢奢求你的原谅,但我们没别的办法了,因为你经常乱咬人,妈咪因为你赔了很多医药费给那些受害者。这一次,你又咬了不该咬的人,那个人很可恶,只是一点小伤,一滴血都没有流,她竟然要找律师告我们!我承认我很失败,不知道该如何教导你,念兽医有什么用,我连你都救不了,还能怎样去救其他动物。。。我们根本无法将你送往动物收容所,即使送了过去,你这般坏脾气,乱咬人,不久你也会被人道毁灭的。曾经也想过,若你一定会死,一定会在外面受苦,倒不如让你安乐死在我手上,起码不必受这么多的苦。。。但是生命又岂能这样由我们来决定??现在我唯一能为你做的只有每天祈祷,希望神会保佑你,让你再渡过难关,希望你能够适应外面的生活。。。你一定要争气。希望我们下辈子还能再重逢。。。


你没用的主人。。。

THE 2nd MIRACLE

今早还在睡梦中,我和妹妹就隐约听见熟悉的叫声。。。妹妹惊醒,大叫:“这是DINO的声音!DINO回来了!” ,就冲出去了。我蒙蒙眼,看着走进房里的豆豆,问:“DINO回来了啊?”

也跳下床,马上冲出屋外,真的看见我的DINO回来了!本来以为奇迹不会再发生的。。。神奇大宝宝,总有奇迹会发生在他身上!

看到DINO的第一个反应就是流泪。。。可怜的小胖子,四个星期内迅速瘦身,身上赘肉荡然无存,双眼还水汪汪的。他还认得我们! 还是我们以前那只可爱的大宝宝,但神情总多了份沧桑。

看到咪咪哭红了双眼,是咪咪想念DINO,不舍得他,才会再跟豆豆回到DINO被丢弃的地方去把他找回来的。DINO,看吧,最爱你的是咪咪噢!

找得回来真是太好了,一家团聚!这一次,不想再失去了,不会再放手。
