Arashi (嵐) literally means storm, however my dinning experience there during my last trip was no where close to any storm, but a wonderful experience with my partner. As some of you may already know, I was in Johor Bahru KSL City Mall during one of my weekends as mentioned in my previous blog entry. We had quite a long day before we chose to settle down in Arashi Shabu Shabu Restaurant (岚日式火鍋) located on level 1 in a spacious corner.
The interior is nicely done-up with soft lights, comfortable sittings, decorative draperies, chic details and relaxing jazz music to complete the superb ambience.

| Close-up 1: (In my personal point of view,) a serving of the best in the menu |
 |
| Close-up 2: The "Herseys-look-alike" is actually springy fishball with fillling... not with the normal minced meat filling |
 |
| Close-up 3: Fresh! |
 |
| Close-up 4: The Kinchaku (巾着, literally "pouch") is really yummy when the beancurd -skin (Aburaage, 油揚げ) bag is brimming full of the tasty soup base, must try! |

| Our Ala-carte order for a portion of beef |
 |
| I can always do with more meat |
 |
| We ordered a Miso Broth and a Hot & Spicy Milk Broth. Both are really yummy, Miso was specially good in bring out the freshness of the seafood. |
 |
| The assortment of dipping sauce |
 |
| Right: Spicy 麻辣酱 Left: Tasty 沙茶酱 (I maybe wrong on this although it was our favorite dip for the meal) |
 |
| Apart from focusing on the gross-ness of looking at my half-bitten Herseys-look-alike fishball... look! It's fish roe filling! |
 |
| The final bowl of elixir soup with all the goodness seeped in from all the ingredients. My dearest partner decided to combine both Miso and Hot & Spicy Milk broth to make our Ultimate... |
 |
| ...Yummy Tummy Warming Soup! (not that it's not delicious on their own) |
We happily slurped up all the soup at the end of the meal and basked in blissfulness for a moment... This satisfying meal served in a relaxing restaurant environment set us back approximately SGD 36. I seriously do not mind (in fact I am looking forward) dropping by again. If you are around the area and is wondering on what to eat for your next meal...
