Firstly, we had the Chef Yama signature recommendation dish “Salmon Belly Osaka Sushi” RM28.80 – Salmon Rice Osaka with sushi rice in garlic and onion flavor. The sushi platter appearance gives a very stunning impression at first glance, while the food itself is a long and huge “Wooooow” shoutout from us, just way too many stuff lingering around our mouth right after taking a whole bite and leave us speechless for a few minutes (we actually just described how good this sushi really is)! 😉 If traditional sushi is simple and awe-inspiring (fresh seafood and vinegar rice), then the fusion sushi is the symbol of grand and elegant (more intense and unique flavor from a various mixture of sauces).
Chicken Katsu Don, 23.80 ringgit The Chicken Katsu Don/ Rice Bowl was yummy! I’d certainly order this dish again. You’d get a generous portion of crispy, tender chicken fillet + egg and caramelized onions. There was some sort of gravy that came with the rice, that gravy was a delicious blend of sweet and spicy which made the dish even better. If you fancy a dish that is flavorful and filling, do consider this Katsu Don.
Yasai Omu Curry Rice at MYR 19.80 nett (inclusive of 6% SST). Yasai (野菜) means vegetable so there are potatoes, pumpkin, okra and carrots in this meal. Omurice refers to rice wrapped in an omelette. My friend says this dish is tasty and I guess the Curry is on the sweet side since my friend does not take spicy food.
I went for the cold green tea soba tempura at MYR 11.13+ (6% SST = MYR 11.80 nett). The green tea taste is strong and nice. The way to eat this is to mix the spring onions, daikon, seaweed into the cup of mirin soy sauce and then dip the cold soba into the sauce before eating it.
On that day, we went to Sushi Zanmai, Starling mall for lunch. I ordered a small bowl of Tempura soba for MYR 13.96 nett. There were only two pieces of tempura - a prawn and a piece of brinjal. Other than this, I also ordered my usual avocado sushi (MYR 2.64 nett - two pieces).
