For all the news about Japan that we have been reading and watching, why not step out to help instead of just sighing in front of the media?

Sushi Tei steps forward to help Japan’s disaster victims

Kuala Lumpur, 18 March 2011 – Sushi Tei Malaysia www.sushitei.com today announced that it will be doing its part for the Japanese community by raising funds for the tsunami and earthquake victims in Japan.

In a one- day event on Friday, 25th March 2011, fifty percent (50%) of all its sales proceeds from all its outlets will be channeled towards the Malaysian Red Crescent Society, which is associated with the Japanese Red Cross Society (JRCS). The money from this charity drive will be used to provide immediate relief efforts and support for victims of the recent disaster.

During this time of devastation Sushi Tei urges everyone to join them in doing what they can for the tsunami and earthquake victims. It encourages members of the public to support the campaign and help the people of Japan.

Sushi Tei is located at:

  • Pavilion KL
  • Tropicana City Mall
  • The Gardens
  • Suria Sabah Shopping Mall

 

Ever since Sushi Zanmai made its way to 1u and The Gardens, it has been my staple place for quick and affordable fix for Japanese cravings.

This new Japanese restaurant in The Gardens – Hokkaido Ichiba (In Mandarin it says Hokkaido Market), is here to beat Sushi Zanmai!

It is located on the top floor on The Gardens mall.

It can get REALLY crowded during lunch and dinner time, especially on the weekends.

salmon salad

Salmon Salad @ RM18 as the appetizer.

Portion is quite big and it came with the dressing at the side.

They have menu for set lunches, and it is about RM5-RM10 cheaper than set dinner.

Not sure about the  portion though.

What I have here is Beef Sukiyaki @ RM30. It can even be shared too!

It came with a rice, raw egg for you to dip, fruits, chawan mushi, miso soup, and mashed potato and some pickles.

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

Peking duck?

Unagi Chawan Mushi

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.

Entrance

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.

Entrance Area

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

Seafood on Iceo

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!

Chinese Appetizers

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

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