In the thriving enclave of SS15 Subang Jaya in Selangor, is an expansive new Japanese yakiniku (grilled food) restaurant called Asumo. The restaurant is beautifully done up, with over 22 individual and semi-private rooms. The more popular rooms face the tree-lined street outside and offer an aerial view of the neighbourhood beyond.

Interestingly, nearly every element – from the crockery to the modern exhaust system – has been sourced from Japan.
