SANUKI Udon: W Automart • Domino's

Itadakimasu

It was Wesak Day, a public holiday in Malaysia. After an unpleasant encounter with an overzealous restaurant in Bangi, we decided to go in search of Japanese cuisine instead. It had been a very long while since we last visited Sanuki Udon in Taman Desa, and today felt like as good a day as any.

Sanuki udon originates from Kagawa Prefecture in Japan, named after the former Sanuki Province. The noodles are square shaped with flat edges and a chewy texture, made from wheat flour and usually served in broth or kamaage style with dipping sauce.

The Sanuki Udon restaurant we used to frequent was once on the ground floor of Jalan Bukit Desa 5, but has since relocated to the first floor.

True to form, the place was almost full when we arrived at 11:50am, despite only opening at 11:30am. We walked up the flight of stairs and, although we liked the vibe of the new space, the open air feel of the old ground floor shop still appealed to us more.

We scanned the menu and promptly settled on:

House Special Udon
Curry Udon
Jelly Fish
Grilled Squid
2 Green Tea

After lunch, I took a walk around to capture some footage. Our delectable and savoury Japanese meal came to RM60.40 (≈ USD13/EUR13) — reasonably priced in our books.

P/S: Our pet peeve — people whose English isn’t their first language but put on an accent so fake it melts our earwax. We had to endure a torrid time beside a loud, obnoxious couple with said “impediment”.

A Quick Detour

We walked back down the stairs and hopped into BiBi, bound for Pandan Indah to get help with our Android Player from Daniel of W Automart. We had trouble hearing Waze voice directions whenever the radio was on.

Daniel was busy with a customer, so his colleague Steven stepped in — and just like that, problem solved. We then made our way home, which happened to be the exact moment the DJI Action 4 battery gave up.

By the time we resumed filming, we had arrived at Domino’s Dang Wangi to collect our customary order of Beef Pepperoni and Aloha Chicken pizzas.

Then we headed home.

We’re excited for our road trip to Kuala Terengganu early next month, so stay tuned!
