The Japanese Restaurant

I was invited to the Japanese Restaurant to have my taste bud tantalize with the awesome scrumptious sushi, wide range of sashimi and of course Teppanyaki !

Located at Sunway Putra Hotel ( formerly the Legend Hotel. Beside The Mall), this hotel offers the best service and as you expected food. With that being said, the price for such exclusivity does not come cheap but is definitely bank for buck.

Anyway, the Japanese Restaurant Head Chef, Lau Yeou Shin and his kitchen brigade prepares nearly 60 dishes for you to enjoy. They usually refresh their menus 4 times a week.

So let’s get down to what they have to offer.

P1040101

This is where their fresh sashimi’s are prepared and placed. All the sashimi’s are hand made, prepared on the spot and is definitely fresh. I have tasted the salmon and indeed it is fresh. The taste has nothing to shout about, but the key point here is that it is fresh.

Here are the list of sashimi’s :

Freshly cut salmon, maguro (tuna), hamachi (yellowtail), cuttlefish, butterfish, oysters, tiger prawns and half shell scallops

P1040114

Now this is the highlight of the place! They have their own teppayaki kitchen where you are free to pick anything you want and they will prepare it for you on the spot. This is such an enjoyment because normally we are not able to choose what we want for our teppayaki. But this time around, I can gobble down the whole lot of variety of foods there!

P1040116P1040111

They also prepare wide range of Robatayaki ( grilled items)

P1040115

The list of grilled items are : sanma, saba, oysters, shisamo, quail eggs, sweet corn, unagi, bacon rolls, shiitake and cocktail sausages

Another highlight of this place is also the sushi bar! The sushi’s here are also prepared fresh on the spot the maintain freshness. Besides they also prepare sushi’s that are considered the ‘premium’ ones where you usually need to pay a hefty price in a normal Japanese restaurant. But since THIS IS A BUFFET, you get to enjoy them without hesitating!

To be honest, the sushi is fresh but it lacks the “ommph”. The rice is not as sticky as it should be and would ‘break’ into pieces.

P1040105

P1040133

These are the assorted ‘side dishes’ that you normally find in a Japanese restaurant menu. The cold tofu, anchovies, lady finger, you name it, its here. I particularly love the cold tofu as it tasted really soft, fresh and is not too salty as compared to others.

P1040132

There are other main course which I did not try as sushi and teppayaki alone making me bloated. I am no Rebecca Saw yo! Haha (: But anyway, these are the main course that are offered by the Japanese Restaurant.

Garlic Fried Rice, Chicken Katsu, Chicken Teriyaki, Stir-fried Black Pepper Udon, Cabbage Rolls, Stuffed Mushrooms, Grilled Stingray with Miso Paste, Stuffed Crabs, Japanese Style Braised Beef with Radish, Grilled Squid with Cheese Sauce, Lamb with Miso Sauce, Braised Beef Balls and Seafood Gyoza, in addition to Yaki Ramen, Yaki Udon (fried noodles) and Yaki Gohan (fried rice)

What is a meal without dessert and thankfully the Japanese Restaurant has one! They have wide range of cakes and pastries and of course ICE CREAM! (:

P1040143P1040144P1040140P1040141

The desserts are just all about right. I liked some but hated some but my favourite was the Green Tea Ice Cream. The green tea is just evident in the ice cream. You can taste every single cold dripping green tea in it. Was definably heaven! For the rest, I wouldn’t’ comment much. It might not fit my taste bud, but who knows you may like it

Pumpkin Pudding, Warabi Mochi, Soybean Cheesecake, Green Tea Ice Cream with Red Bean Paste, Assorted Jellies and Fruit Custards, fresh cut mixed fruits, assortment of French Pastries and oriental-inspired sweets such as the thirst-quenching Longan with Honey Sea Coconut and Snow Fungus andLotus Paste Pancakes..

All in all, for RM82++ for Adult and RM41++ for kids, I really think it is bang for bucks. Firstly, you get fresh sushi’s and sashimi’s prepared on the spot. Secondly, you get to gobble down all the teppayaki items and brag about it. HAH! Bring your friend to other teppayaki outlet and brag! Smile with tongue out What more can you ask from a Japanese restaurant? The green tea ice cream tops it all up. This gets 3.5 star out of 5 from me.

Operation hours are from 12 noon – 2.30pm for lunch and 6.30pm – 10.30pm for dinner. The restaurant is closed on Mondays and for lunch on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays. If you’d like to make a reservation, kindly call 03-4042 9888 (ext. 1011) OR email enquirysph@sunwayhotels.com

GLUTTON JAMIE DAY!

June 4th, 2010, posted in Events, Food, Random rants, Shennanigans, ©FoodStuff

WOW! Omgod its been long since I’ve updated my post. Tsk tsk, this is a sign of me being REAL busy. I mean how often you see i DONT update my blog or NEGLECT it? NONE! =p

Ok, so like I’ve said, my mission to bring the lifeless Jamie down is to EAT! and make her FAT! After the Freedom event, we bunked and the next morning, i began my mission to glutton her. Here’s what we ate for breakfast. =)

IMG_1799

Yup! We had hakka food somewhere near Mutiara Hotel. Its down the road towards the traffic light. Go straight and you’ll see that Hakka restaurant on your right. The Yam Abacus is very delicious. I’ve tried this dish a few times in KL but this was the best so far. Not to say that it gives you the ‘boom boom paw’ feeling but at least it brightens up the gloomy morning. (It’s raining). Don’t believe? See below >>

IMG_1802

Look at her orgasmic face. That’s her when you shove her with food. GOOD FOOD to be exact. To bad the BG is overexposed. You’ll see its raining rather heavy that morning.

IMG_1794

The Yong tau fu was nice. But nah, ill skip it. The soup that comes with it is awesome. Ok la, i know… they shove us with tons and tons of MSG right? No wonder im bald right… :X

Haha, i know its crazy, but after this meal, we straight race down to Muar to have our fix of Johor’s authentic otak-otak. With the help of some food bloggers who have included the coordinate in their blog post, and with the help of Google Map Navigator.. I present to you… >>

IMG_1804

IMG_1811

Seriously, if you are an otak otak lover, this shop is da bomb. I know of places that claimed to serve the best otak otak around but nothing beats the original from Glutton Street. Despite all that, my grandma STILL makes the BEST otak otak hands down period! If you wanna try, make an appointment. LOL

This otak otak is fresh and well, it doesn’t have that fishy smell that turns me off! You see, i hate eating fish, but otak otak is an exception and this shop makes it to perfection.

IMG_1807

Pork Satay. Sadly, because of this satay, Kajang no long is THE BEST. Once you try this, you’ll beg for more. No i am not saying the satay sold by this particular shop in Muar, I was refering to the satay shop in Taman Bachang, Melaka!

The secret ingredient to what makes the best pork satay is of course the uniqueness of the gravy or some shall call it Kuah Kacang. Some stalls just use the normal kuah and some adds a lil hint of pineapple in it. Well for this shop is Muar, the pineapple is not blend in the kuah itself, but was served together with the cucumber. Like this >> IMG_1810

The satay in Bachang blend’s the kuah with the pineapple and ITS THE BOMB!. But that is for next post. In this post, this satay was alright. Its nice but does not beat MINE! =p

I was full but Jamie ( as usual ) INSISTED to get the hor jian. Seriously… my expression > :) to =.=’

IMG_1814

If you were to try any hor jian from any shop around KL, most of it serves you with a tiny bit of hor jian. What’s worse, the hor jian is so small that by the time you eat half, you are only eating the egg.

But this shop has the biggest hor jian ive ever seen. LOL. Its so big that for every piece of egg served, there are at least 4-5 juicy hor jian. That’s how awesome Muar hor jian is. <3

IMG_1812

IMG_1821

Me, in Glutton Street. LOL

GUESS WHAT?! haha YES after all this fattening but delicious delicacy of Muar, I THEN RACE DOWN to MELAKA for the FOOODDDZZZZ.

I was suppose to bring Jamie to a cendol stall just outside Jonker Street but sadly, its close. And the reclamation of land just outside Jonker is AN EYE SORE. F.U Melaka Gov.

IMG_1832

So i brought her to the next best thing, but its packed. Seriously, this particular Asam Laksa and ABC stall is overrated. Not to say its not nice, but well its just overrated. Its nice but other shop that serves cendol within 1km radius of Jonker Street taste as good as this. So why the overcrowding of this place? tsk tsk. Only Melaka people know the best cendol around. =p

IMG_1853

Durian Cendol

IMG_1851

Durian ABC

I HATE DURIAN. period. But i was forced to indulge the most hated food of all time. ARGH. Ok fine, the cendol and ABC is nice. But not the durian. LOL

IMG_1859

Look at that happy face lah… tsk tsk. I hate durian okay!

 

IMG_1880

Ok then we had Laksa just across the street. FULL. Orgasmic.

IMG_1881 

Ze stall.

Durian cream puff Jamie claim to be delicious. Ill never try in a million years. Nuff said. LOL

OK SERIOUSLY I NEED ANOTHER FOOD CRAWL! WHO WANNA COME? Just LOOK at the delicious food above. How can you EVER RESIST it? hehe. =p Lets go crawl for food and make ourselves FAT! YAY FAT FTW! and JOIN BIGGEST LOSER ASIA!

out.

Anyway, it was such a nice thing to be able to meet familiar faces in one place. Full House did a great job in providing a conducive environment for us to be able to mingle around and have a catch with each other. It was even better that it was in conjunction with taiko’s birthday! Look at that place, the whole thing except for some tables were close for us!
