Omakase at FooTori

A first for me as I didn’t even know there was such a thing as Japanese yakitori omakase. FooTori did a good job as every skewer had its own distinct flavour and texture.

Hidden away on the ground floor of Plaza Kelana Jaya near the lake, the decor inside is minimalist, grey industrial with a grill counter smack in the middle. We sat at the counter with a good view of the grilling process.

In all honesty, I couldn’t tell which is what, except that every skewer tasted different and was delicious. The chochin in particular was something quite unique, with 1 pair of hanging egg yolk sacs. (reminded me of something else, but I shall behave 🙂 ).

We ordered a couple of extra sticks from the a la carte menu and a bowl of noodles to get a carb base and fuller experience. But if you are a big eater, then this meal might not be enough.

FooTori was very new when we first tried it, so by now there may be more items added to the menu and more changes to the set. It sounds like a lot, but it’s just one skewer per item. We had:

1. Negima – chicken thigh with leek
2. Leba – chicken liver
3. Nankotsu – soft bone
4. Tsukune – meat ball with egg yolk dip
5. Chochin – egg yolk sac with chicken liver and meat
6. Togarashi – half muscle
7. Tebasaki – wing karaage
8. Hatsu – Heart blood vessel
9. Sunagimo – gizzard
10. Tebamoto – chicken drummet
11.Inaniwa udon – slurp-worthy seaweed noodles
12. Momo – chicken thigh
13. Bonjiri – Chicken ‘tail’ – or what we know as Bishop’s nose – Deboned, fatty, juicy.
14. Sesame ice cream

Omakase starts from RM98/pax to RM138/pax. A la carte starts from RM6 to RM12, and there are other a la carte items as well.
