Yuzu Restaurant, Mid Valley

Well Yuzu is not really the first choice as I really have try most of their menu. But things sometimes just won't work the way you hope it work.

Me and my friend went to il Primo first and been told that il Primo is closed for business. (=_=!)

I have not try their macarone, rabbit stew etc.

My friend suggest to go Sage, Garden Mid Valley. Another nice dining restaurant that I never been to. So off we go zip zap thru the traffic jam from Jalan Conlay all the way to Mid Valley.

When we arrive at Sage, with a hungry stomach, the reception told us that they are fully booked for the night. (=_=!!!)

Not having energy to go any other place, we decide to find a restaurant nearby for the dinner.



So Yuzu is the choice. And lucky for us, when we arrive there is still empty table for us. We did not order from the menu and we ask for the Course Menu. The waiter need to get the boss to serve us. Kind of make me feel like I am VVIP (^__^)
Of course the boss is more knowledgeable in the thing we ask and we settle for a 5 course meal for RM120 per pax. If you willing to pay more, then the meal will be grander with caviar, foie gras, etc.



First on the table is appetizer. As usual Yuzu presentation of food is always impressive. From left to right, Tamago, Enoki with Golden Spinach and Butter Fish with Wasabi Mayo. A simple combination but 1+1 does not mean it must be 2.



The next is the sashimi. Shiro Maguro (白鲔鱼), Otoro Sashimi (上腹黑鮪魚), Salmon Sashimi (三文魚刺身), Suzuki Salshimi (立魚刺身), Hiramasa Sashimi. Well only one piece of sashimi for each type. Kind of too less but considering the price we pay, we can't complain much I guess. So next time I maybe will go for RM200 per pax. If I get my end year bonus. :P





Avocado Gratin. The presentation of this dish is good. And this is the first time I taste Avocado. Not as bad as what I imagine. In fact I find it taste good. Soft and buttery. The Avocado is dig out from the shell and fry together with chicken, fish etc and baked again with Mayo. A very tantalizing experience. Maybe they should put this in the menu.





Oyster Aburiyaki. Oyster after grilled have a different kind of taste. A good change to the usual fresh Oyster that I have eat. The special Yuzu sauce goes very well with the oyster too.

At this point I am talking to my friend that 5 course meal dun seems to satisfy our hunger. Because this is the 4th meal. Luckily the Boss come to attend us and ask are we satisfy with the meal so far. Of course she assure us that there will be sushi and dessert in the end. (^_^)



Next on the table is Beef Kushiyaki and Yakisana. This I feel is a bit of let down as too plain simple compare to previous 4 dish. Not showing the creativity of the chef here.



Plus the last beef is a bit too raw for my tasting. Can see it is bloody red with some red blood water on the dish plate. ><



Next is the sushi roll with Asari Miso Soup. Unagi, Fish Roe and Mango sushi. The Mango Sushi is a surprise. I guess the chef got the idea from Thailand Mango Rice. It does mix well with other ingredient and taste good. (^_^)



The miso soup taste is great too with large clam inside. \(^_^)/ I love the soup.



The last serving for our dinner is the Fruits and Green Tea Ice Cream. I believe their green tea ice cream is home made. Not something you can get from the store.

Ishin Sushi

A simple lunch at this restaurant cost me RM133. Really simple. Just a few sashimi, fish roe etc...




First is the Premium Sushi(RM60). The portion is much more bigger then any other sushi I have try before. That salmon fish cut for example, I think is 2 piece of Salmon Sashimi portion in normal shop. The 2nd sushi from right look like some black thing? That is caviar.

This is the first time I try caviar, and honestly it is not as good as what I expected. Perhaps this is the most low grade caviar.



Cawanmushi(RM18). The bottom is of course chicken egg. From left it is fish roe, caviar, seaurchin. A very nice dish for a cheap price(In my opinion).



Fresh Hokkaido Sea Urchin (RM38 - If I remember correctly). This one is nice. The sea urchin is fresh.

So that conclude my super expensive lunch. But considering what I have for the lunch, caviar, sea urchin etc, one should not complain the meal as expensive.

Yuzu Restaurant MidValley

I have always love Yuzu food. Fresh sashimi and their ikura taste is heavenly. Ikura that melt in the mouth with a little bit of saltiness that reminds you the taste of ocean. Heavens

Now Yuzu has gone thru some renovation since my last blog about it. The wooden panel on the left handside of the restaurant is refurbish to show a small sushi bar.

The interior decoration has change with kimono hanging on the wall, more plant decoration.

The menu also have new comer but lesser choice for set menu.

Anyway lets start with the new dish that I try. The Yuzu Volcano Sushi.


This dish is recommended to me by another blogger Ms Jazz. And it is really good. A must try

Next dish is the Saikoro Wagyu Beef

I remember this is the same dish that I order in my previous blog, and it really don't taste as good as before. I remember the beef use to feel like it is melting in my mouth. Something that no other beef steak can match no matter how tender is the beef steak. But of course this do not means it is not good. It is still one of the best beef you will ever try.




My Unagi set with Soba Mee in cute little bamboo bowl. The Unagi taste is one of the best I ever had. The sauce they use is very thick and exquisite taste.


This is call Saba Kuwayaki with fresh egg. According to my friend, it taste is bad and it is too oily.


Teriyaki chicken that is order by my friend, taste is very good. I try one small piece, and find that it is still as good as before. (^^)


For dessert, I order this Green Tea Mochi. It is unlike mochi that I have try before.
This one is more sticky but not so soft. And you can taste the rice.

So conclusion, Yuzu is still the best Japanese restaurant for me. (^___^)

New Year Eve meal at Jogoya

New Year Eve dinner... and now only I post it. Hahaha

So me and 1 guy 2 gal go for dinner buffet at Jogoya. For most KL people, this place should be familiar. Unless you are the kind of people that don't like Japanese raw sashimi or don't like buffet. So lets just skip the intro of this place and see the photo.




















Some comment, the shark fin and red wine is compliment of Jogoya. It is good only because it is free of charge. If I need to use the member coupon for this, then it is bad. The Cod Fish that many complain is getting bad, well remember that this is fried fish. So if you feel it is bad, then perhaps you can tell me which place fried fish is very nice and tell me how marvelous or fantastic it is compare to other place. For me I feel it is still good and recommended for you to try it. The coconut, tempura, oyster etc is still as good as before. Variety of food is there.

Now complain about Jogoya. Damn you for changing Unagi to Jogoya Member only dish. 2nd, damn you for no more Mochi on that day. Perhaps you can provide a small map that show location of food. Because some of the food now is at alley that is easily miss by other people.

Conclusion, Jogoya quality if compare to the first time I went there, it is really downgraded quality. But when compare to other restaurant offering, their buffet is still among the best. So unless appear another new shop that win my heart, Jogoya is still the place that I will go.

Food Of the Devil 3

After checking out on my blog, an old friend can't resist the temptation. So when she have the opportunity to visit KL, she join me for another round at Sushi Tei. Together with another junior from KTAR, we went to Tropicana City Sushi Tei again.

This time Sushi Tei sea urchin is out of stock AGAIN. According to the waiter, their stock is replenish every Tuesday and Friday. So I guess we need to choose a good date to go there. Crowd at the restaurant is considerably less then my last visit. I guess not just us have complain for their services.

Anyway, here is the photo for this time visit.
First is the fried salmon skin which is bad taste. It is not crispy. So kind of dissappointing.


Next is the Rainbow Sushi that is much better taste compare to the salmon skin.



And then it is the Salmon Sashimi that is my favourite. Yummy like my previous visit.
My friends also enjoy the soft Ikura that almost melt in her mouth.



And finally to satisfy my carnivore thirst.


So that is all. It is sad that I remember to take the food photo but forget to take photo with her. I guess she gonna be very upset as the food seems more attractive then her. (>.<)
Sorry, Su Zhen, I will remember next time.
