Craving for Crunchy Seafood and mouth-watering sauce.


Ikameshi


It is true to say that there were no much existence of seafood restaurants in Malaysia that actually serve giant squid or "Ikameshi". Derived from the name tag, it means Japanese seafood delicacy.

Takio Ikameshi

Due to less business competitors in serving squid and soft shell crab, the Takio Ikayaki kiosk serving Ikameshi received tremendous good reception during it opening in Malaysia. Now, they have more kiosks at nationwide. Serving seafood lovers in Malaysia

Besides, the achievement of another Japanese delicacy "Takoyaki" in Malaysia. Kiosks serving mainly Takoyaki. It is a good business indeed.

I will never forget because Subway encouraging customers interaction with the staff picking up i customer's own delicious choices of vegetables, sauces, buns. You will be amazed with the variety.

I have known Subway for a long time since was like 2008 ? Subway always come in mind because of it affordable pricing. You see, everyone could grab it just for RM7.30.

I was terrified when we are customer the one fill up the empty cup. The staff was like passing me the empty cup, I knew this was gonna happen because there was a soft drink machine beside me while I was paying at the counter. Shortly after paid, passing me a empty cup with Subway wording. Never in my whole life filling up own carbonated soft drink.
