Sloppy Chic

Ever since I tried the Shabu-Shabu in Nagomi, I have quite liked the place and been there at least few times already.

My last visit, and to my shock, they revamped and renovated the place already! Perhaps it is the new management as read on JasonMumble’s blog?

The new place – without the sunken in hole for shabu-shabu pots.

They now have the induction cooker at the table top.

Flipping through the menu, I spent a good 15 mins staring at it not knowing what to eat. So, I decided to try something else rather than the same shabu-shabu all the time.

My Mentaiko with Rice in Clear Soup @ RM14.90.

If you want to eat something like, this is quite recommended, however, the portion is a little too small.

So, I order a set of teppanyaki beef @RM19.90 to go with my rice.

When I go for buffet, I always have this dilemma: Chinese or Japanese?

Peking duck?

Or Unagi?

You see, when I go for Japanese, I think about Chinese food. But when I go dimsum, I think about Unagi.

Life is full of decisions.

When I came to know about the 2 in 1 buffet @ Nikko Hotel KL, I saw the light of solving my dilemma.

Hello Benkay Japanese Restaurant!

When you step into Benkay, you can also order Chinese dishes such as dimsum etc from the 2 in 1 menu.

Once you step into the restaurant, you can see some Japanese settings on your left.

I couldn’t wait to tour the food a bit. The appetizers/salad/oysters/desserts are all served outside the restaurant, plenty of space to move about.Nice!

Some of the chinese appetizers are served in small cute bowls for you to try out.

The teppanyaki section is full of big prawns/beef/lamb!

The tempura section is next to the hot plate.

The sushi and sashimi bar. I love the varieties!

Too bad I do not have a picture of the sashimi, it was so so fresh!

There are huge selections of food, but I shall introduce you my favorites

Sauteed Scallop with Black Pepper and Onion.

Say HELLO to my plate of scallops!

One thing awesome about this buffet is, all the dishes are made to order. So all of them are served fresh and hot!

Sauteed Beef with Ginger and Spring Onions.

The beef was tender and soft, and juicy! Gosh I am starting to miss the food already.

Good food is meant to be shared!  We celebrated Sidney’s mom birthday last week in ENJU Prince Hotel.  She is a lovely and very cool lady. How many mothers do you know will enjoy Japanese food?

Spot Chef Thomas in the picture!

Craving for some fresh sashimi?

Check out the fine texture of each slice of sashimi

For appetizers, I am not sure about the name but I heard this is different appetizers will be served on daily basis. It is actually fried chicken fillet.

Tatami iwashi @ RM8.

It is made of cuttlefish, crispy, and non oily at all! Perfect to go with sake.

ENJU Dynamite roll @ RM22.

Oh dear, have you ever seen any sushi ONLY with sashimi and not the rice? The dynamite roll almost sent me to heaven! I love sashimi!!! And the new ala carte menu is actually very affordable.

If you are a frequent shopper in Plaza Damas, Mont Kiara, you probably have already seen this shop before.

Little did I know that, it is a nice cozy and romantic little place with great food!

The open kitchen style. You can see what they are cooking for you exactly!

And the very antique-looking cashier.

Why romantic you say?

Imagine bringing your date dining on this little romantic table, without breaking your bank.

Good idea right?

Thanks to Richard who introduced this to us, we enjoyed it very much that night

First dish served was Oven-Baked Seabass with Pesto Alla Genovese @RM16.90.

Looked good, tasted good!

Salmon Au Gratin @ RM18.90.

Being a fan of salmon, I really <3 this!

The super-star dish we all fought to eat – Nagoya Fried Chicken @ RM16.90.

Juicy, crispy and flavorful! YUMMY!

I am sorry that some of the food I have lost track of the names as I was too excited tasting the food hence the lack of memory space in my head already.
