Senya Izakaya is like our back those schooling days' after school lepak's port; we hang out and eat and stay there there for a long time Normally I wouldn't ever bother to take any proper pictures of the food. Who takes pictures of their daily lepak port anyway?
There are a few Senya outlets in town – Intermark, Mitsui Outlet Park, Publika and Jalan P Ramlee but we frequent the one in Publika and Jalan P Ramlee the most. There’s nothing particularly sophisticated about the setting in Senya; a mixed crowd of Japanese salarymen, local office workers and couples sit either at the plain wooden tables or prop up the bar, where you can see into the tiny open kitchen, occupied almost entirely by a sizable grill.
The Hokkaido Beef Don is a must order here. It claims to use a unique grill method, where the meat is cooked over a charcoal fire while it gets coated over and over again with a sweet soy sauce. Love love love the charred edges, smoky flavor, great balance of fatty vs lean meat and sweet, salty glaze. The Beef Don can be enjoyed with potato salad or tamago onsen too.
Our other favourite items are the salmon skin salad, grilled salmon cheek (shio), spicy ramen, kimchi chicken and (thick cut) salmon sashimi.
