Lunch at Sushi ZanMai

A Thought: I guess I really need a proper camera, using EdeNz's handphone camera sometimes just isn't enough... =/

Boo~

Kind of bored right now, so I decided to put up another entry, not about movie again, don't worry haha... XD On the same day I watched The Seeker, we had lunch at a Japanese Restaurant at The Gardens, Mid Valley, named Sushi ZanMai. EdeNz and I both planned to explore The Gardens on that day, so the day before I actually looked up some food review blogs and found that there are quite a number of Japanese Restaurant in The Gardens. Since we have not ate Japanese food in a while, so we decided to give this a try.

We arrive quite late, passed lunch hour I think, around 2.00pm. Not much people in The Gardens as it's not fully open yet, the restaurant is basically empty, with just another table of customers who are already leaving. Well, it looks the same for all restaurants there, so we just went in!

I would say the restaurant environment is great, decorations are nice, a mixture of traditional and modern style, with proper lightning, it's comfortable to dine in here. =) They also have the Kaiten belt which circulates sushis around the restaurant, the sushis are fresh and they have quite a wide range of choices, despite of having limited customers in the restaurant. Good, isn't it? No worries about keep ordering sushis when you wanna have some. Just grab and eat. XD

Other than the normal sushis on the belt, the restaurant provides other Japanese food as well, like sashimi, bento, udon, etc... They also offer some special sushi combinations which is served fresh when ordered and it looks really nice too! Browsing through the menu, there are so many things I wanna try but it's not possible due to limited budget and limited stomach space. =p

For starters, let's have something light, Ikura CawanMushi. The name sounds familiar? XD Well, it's normal Japanese steamed egg a.k.a. CawanMushi with the extra topping of fish roe, Ikura. Hmm, it taste superb! For Ikura lovers like EdeNz and me, we totally enjoyed the egg, each bite give the perfect taste of the salty Ikura popping and mixing with the plain soft steamed egg. Yum yum, we like it so much that we are so tempted to order another one...

Then, we also order Unagi Rice, which has a lot of eel (Unagi) on top of the hot Japanese rice. From the look of it, it's really tempting and so delicious... It smells good too! Hehe... Well, we basically ate the whole bowl of Unagi Rice in few minutes, the eel is very juicy and the texture is soft, together with the sauce and the rice, it's just perfect to fill my hungry stomach. Really worth to try this, I love Unagi!

Not to forget, we ate a few sushis as well, we chose our sushis very carefully, only try those that's special and can't be find in anywhere else. We had the Tamago Unagi pair sushi, sweet Japanese egg and juicy Unagi, taste great~ Then, one of our favorite, Salmon Ikura sushi, putting Ikura on top of a normal Salmon sushi, wow!!! You can feel the Ikura popping in your mouth and the juice came out, then mix with the soft and creamy salmon... So delicious that I don't have any suitable words to describe it. We also tried the normal sushi roll which consist of crabstick meat, cucumber and egg, the sushi rice really smells good, dipped into soy sauce with wasabi, perfect! XD How can we finish our meal without at least a bite on their special Temaki (California Roll)? Hehe, so we looked at the menu, thought for quite some time... and decided to have a soft shell crab temaki. Looks nice isn't it? The seaweed is so crispy that you can actually hear the sound of breaking when you take a bite. XD The soft shell crab is crispy on the outside and soft in the inside, just nice! We made a good choice. =p

That's not all, EdeNz ordered a special sushi set, Carol Roll. There are six sushis, each of it has salmon wrapping the rice and on top of it, a tiny piece of cucumber and a few Ikura on top, looks great isn't it? XD It taste really great as well! Hehe, the salmon here is really nice, soft and juicy, not too oily not to thin, it melts in your mouth. =)

Feeling hungry yet? Craving for Japanese food yet? Well, just go try it, good experience and tasty food! Haha... This whole meal cost around RM80 for all the food I described and posted, to some people, it's too bloody expensive just to fill your stomach, but for me, it doesn't hurt to treat your taste bud and stomach a little better occasionally. =) I am definitely not letting go any nice food because I am a "live to eat" person. =p
