Tonight, we were actually supposed to go to Excapades. Syukri and Hadi insisted, as the sushi there was much nicer than those in Kaizen, they claim. However, Excapades was very very busy, and everyone was getting hungry, so we decided to go to Kaizen instead.
The atmosphere in Kaizen is really nic e. The staff greet you in Japanese (Irrashai! ^^), the restaurant itself is nicely decorated. Definitely has a Japanese feel to it. Of course, it also has the ubiquitous sushi train, hehe. ;) Point of interest, anything on the train after 9.45 pm each night is half-priced!
Anyway, when we got there, the boys were starving, and decided to order...well, a lot... Eyes too big for their tummies, I tell you. Syukri claimed that it was because the mini California maki were not so mini. .. Excuses! *rolls eyes* Anyways, here are some pictures of our more interesting dishes.
First is Hadi's cold plum-flavoured cho-soba. Its a pretty pink colour, hehe. You eat it cold, apparently. You can just see the tip of the ice cube there. I forgot to ask Hadi what it tasted like, but I think I wouldn't like it anyway.
Next is my favorite, tori teriyaki. I personally prefer Kaizen's teriyaki to Excapades' teriyaki. It tastes less of soy sauce and more...of, well, teriyaki, hehe. And in case anyone is wondering, my tori teriyaki is waaaaaaaaaaaaay better ;) The flavour is much more intense, haha. Well, the UK version, anyhow. Anyway, I usually eat this with a bowl of garlic fried rice. Soooooooo yummy *drools* Though some people find it a bit too garlicky, hehe. Excapades also makes garlic fried rice, but there's is more salty/MSG-ish, as opposed to Kaizen's garlic-taste. :D Yes yes, I am a fan of Kaizen, hehe.
Kaizen Sushi started off quite small actually, but it seems like they've been expanding their menu. One new dish is the tori teppanyaki (chicken hot plate). I've always been interested to taste teppanyaki, so this was difficult to resist, hehe. I didn't even bother, just ordered it straight away :D The taste was...ok jua lah. Slightly spicyish, saltyish, with just a slight BBQ sauce flavour. They also provided a spicy BBQ flavoured dip. On the whole, it wasn't too bad, though their tori teriyaki is definitely yummier.
And of course, the requisite sushi. I'm not a fan, but the rest definitely are.
Here are some of the more interesting looking ones:
In the end, everyone was full of yummy food, so that's a story that ends well. :D
you know, for a foodie, you're not very adventurous with your food lah. So it's kinda hard to review food when you're only partial to chicken dishes. Like the Thai restaurant, you could have ordered the tom yam soup, or pandan chicken, or mango fish, or something thai-ish lah, but ayam goreng jua...
ReplyDeleteOkay, first... you are in the wrong place. You need to be on this restaurant.
