Talking about rainy days, got slightly soaked by the time I arrived at the doors of Kissaten. The decor is minimalist. Tastefully minimalist. But the menu isn't. It is extensive, varied, and also has a multiple personality disorder. Chinese Lum Mee, Char Siew, ChawanMushi, Sashimi, Pizza, Pancakes, Cheesecakes, I was dizzy after reading the menu, and cannot re"freaking"member...... The menu is available online. I'll give you the link below.
Ordered the Honey Ginger Beer, which was refreshing and zesty. I also ordered the Pork with Onion set, which is available for lunch and dinner.
The set comes with rice, Miso Soup, Chawan Mushi and Pickled Radish and bottomless Green Tea. The Pork fillets were lean, and the onion sauce that came with it was light and tasted like soya sauce.
The Chawan Mushi tasted like Chinese Steamed Eggs, maybe not enough Mirin? It contained one ginko nut inside. Miso was ah so so.
The chocolate pudding was very, very sweet. The texture was funny, a bit grainy and sticky. I did not finish it.
This owner has probably given the menu a lot of thought here. It is very varied, inoffensive, even imaginative and caters for every sort of taste. Pricing, reasonable. An alternative for the tweens who think that Kim Gary is the best place in town for food. Now instead of Hong Kong food, they are eating Japanese.
I may not choose to dine there, or like the food very much. But if I were asked to invest in a new Kissaten outlet in KL, at Sungai Wang, I would sell my undergarments to get the capital. I have no doubt that it will be a great success.

SO, this is like one of those localised Japanese chains in Bangkok like Fuji? Did they drizzle honey on the pudding?
The grub there is not what i'd expect from a japanese Kissaten.
@Maleewan: Yes, it was honey. I don't know if it is a chain or not, I didn't hear about any new branches. Yes, it's local.
@Chalawan: It's not a real Japanese Food Joint...
