Prison Theme Restaurant @ Obake-Ya	4 Comments
Theme Restaurant is common in Japan & Taiwan but definitely not Penang. But recently.. we have 2 interesting theme restaurants in Penang - Prison & Toilet like Restaurant. I have been to the Prison like restaurant for quite a few times but unfortunately these few weeks I have been tight up with personal matters. Now only I have mood to write about it... terribly sorry for my delay~~ :-) Obake-Ya is a Japanese restaurant. Although the idea of Japanese food & prison are totally irrelavant but... this is the restaurant. :-) If only 2 of you comes to this place, I would suggest you sit at here rather than the table. The chair is pretty comfortable. Before I came here, I have heard from friends that they do have a handsome bartender... hehe.. here he is.~ :-) The entrance and the cashier are decorated like halloween.. :-D I don't think their decoration is very nicely done because the theme and the decoration at cashier (with the japanese cat and other feng shui stuff) just could not jive together. However it's still acceptable. :-) Ok... now come to food. I like this bento set because I'm now on diet and trying to avoid rice/noodle. This bento set has everything that I like except rice.. :-D It has shasimi, tempura & sushi and comes with soup, fruits, salad & egg slices. This is my favourite set and it costs only RM 14. I have no comment about cha soba because this is the first time I try cha soba. I just couldn't compare. Salad presentation is special but very difficult to eat. ehmmm... I think they better work on this.. :-) The mocktail looks cool but still doesn't jive with the theme. This looks like more suitable for hospital more than prison. :-) Eventhough so... I still have visited this restaurant for 3 times. Probably it's still new or probably is whenever I told my friend about it.. they would definitely want to give it a try. Food is ok... their service used to be extremely slow but I noticed it has improved at my 3rd visit. Good job.. keep it up~ :-)
