Thanks for the wonderful invitation, I recently went to sample some really nice yakitori at Torii, a Japanese-accented gastro bar located at the neighborhood of Taman Tun Dr Ismail.

Besides serving over 40 types of grilled skewered meats, seafood and vegetables, diners can also enjoy a wide range of Japanese-French fusion dishes uniquely created by the talented chefs, complemented with one of the largest collection of Japanese single malt whiskies on offer in Kuala Lumpur.
