[2025 Kuala Lumpur Attraction] Travel Guide for Oval Damansara (Updated Jan)

#malaysiatrip My second visit to Tansen Izakaya during my Malaysia trip felt just as delightful as the first time. This cozy spot has a way of making every dining experience memorable, and this time, it was all about the Teriyaki Pork Don paired with a refreshing glass of green tea. The Teriyaki Pork Don was incredibly satisfying, with tender slices of pork glazed in a perfectly balanced teriyaki sauce, resting atop fluffy white rice. The runny egg yolk added richness to the dish, making every bite more indulgent. It’s a simple yet flavorful dish that hits the spot. Pairing it with green tea was the perfect choice—the tea’s subtle bitterness balanced the savory-sweet flavors of the don, creating a refreshing harmony. The combination was a comforting treat after a day of exploring. What I love most about Tansen Izakaya is the intimate ambiance with its wooden accents and traditional Japanese decor. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, share laughs with friends, and enjoy great food in a cozy setting. I’m already looking forward to my next visit!

#malaysiatrip During my Malaysia trip, my friends and I had a wonderful gathering at Tansen Izakaya located at Damansara, a cozy Japanese spot that felt like a slice of Japan. The traditional decor, wooden accents, and warm ambiance set the stage for a relaxing meal filled with good conversations and laughter. We ordered the ladyfinger yakitori, pork belly yakitori, and a comforting bowl of miso soup. The ladyfingers were perfectly grilled, with a slight crunch that paired beautifully with the smoky flavor. The pork belly yakitori was tender and juicy, seasoned just right to keep you coming back for more. The miso soup was a warm and flavorful companion, rounding off the meal with its rich umami taste. Tansen Izakaya’s intimate setting and authentic flavors made it a standout dining experience. It was the perfect way to unwind and create cherished memories with friends during my trip. If you’re looking for a spot that serves delicious food with a touch of Japan, this place is a must-visit!
