"Ji Mui" Sea Park @ Bandar Puteri

The famous legendary Sea Park curry laksa has finally open their branch in Bandar Puteri.
We had ordered beef noodles, curry laksa and clear soup noodles. To be honest, nothing much to shout about. All are at normal standard except curry laksa is above average =).
Oh yeh.. the beverages is good. Not like those made of "sugar water" drinks !!! Hehehe.....
Pricing is reasonable as you can see from the banner itself. ~~ Have a try ~~

mY VegetarI'an! @ Bandar Puteri



Mini steamboat set with the price at RM19.90. Kinda comfortable environment where WiFi services is provided at the cafe. Bundles of mags for your reading, astro under wide LCD screen and many more. Worth for a visit!

Well Cook Gourmet @ SS14



Fried Mee Suah and Fried Asam Laksa.
Reasonable price start from rm5 per serving.

The Laksa taste superb. It has almost the same ingredients as normal Asam Laksa (eg: bunga kantan, sliced onions, cucumber, taugeh...& it's being fried) Since the taste is strong, you are advice to have the fried mee suah before laksa else mee suah will become tasteless ~

They do have claypot pan mee and curry laksa. Looks good. Well, will try it out someday =)

Surprisingly, it came out in the newspaper > TheStar on Dec 21, just about a week after this article was posted!!! Blogger epicuriousgirl said "warrants a re-visit". So what do you think? Tempted????

Rakuzen @ Hartamas

The birthday dinner venue is Rakuzen!! Not for my birthday though :p
This Japanese restaurant is located at Hartamas Shopping Centre. I have been here once and I simply love the food!

For starters we have Hako Kani Salad. Loads of fresh garden salad, chunks of tomatoes, slices of fresh crab meat (which were served cold), top with lotsa tiny fish roe ; served in a special sauce. The green leafy was really fresh as well as the crab meat. I could not really tell what made up the sauce but it really blends well with the whole bowl of salad. Though RM28 is a lil bit pricey for a bowl of veges but itz worth the money as everything taste fresh and the portion is big!

Hako Kani Salad (Big) - RM28


Then, comes the Sashimi Unagi Zen. This is a bento set which consist of a big slice of unagi (grilled eel in sweet sauce), sashimi (slices of tuna and salmon), miso soup, fruits, chawanmushi and a bowl of rice.
The unagi taste yummy and the sashimi was fresh! Superb!


Sashimi Unagi Zen - RM48
My friend ordered Soft Shell Crab Temaki. Big chunk of soft shell crab with rice and lettuce rolled with a piece of seaweed. *drooling*

Soft Shell Crab Temaki - RM8
Next is Saba Shioyaki. Two pieces of Saba fish grilled to perfection with salt sprinkled on top of the fish skin. Taste is marvellous!

Saba Shioyaki - RM16

After that comes Rokkaku Bento. Prawn and vege tempura, slices of sashimi, unagi, slices of fresh octopus, steamed radish served in a big laquered box. This set comes with a bowl of rice, mixed salad, miso soup and chawanmushi. I did not try the radish coz itz my least preferred food. I tried the octopus slice and it was surprisingly good. It was chewy and taste good with some sesame sprinkled on top.

Rokkaku Bento - RM60
A close shot of salmon maki and fish roe sushi. Notice the big fish roe biji-biji? *Woooott* Super!!(though itz salty, really)


Here comes soft shell crab. Crispy soft shell crab *Yum *Yum*

Soft Shell Crab - RM22

Next is Rakuzen Bento. This is the largest portion of bento in the menu. Enough for 2 person! This set comes with octopus slices, steamed radish and a piece of perfectly grilled cod fish. The cod fish was really good!


This bento set also served with few slices of sushi (salmon, fish row, scallop, mackerel and tuna sushi)


Chawanmushi - RM10
Not only that, this bento set comes with the following! Prawn and vege tempura, skewered chicken slices and "see ham", chawanmushi, salad, fruits, rice, salmon and squid sashimi, fish roe and miso soup! Huge portion rite?!

Rakuzen Bento - RM75

I was too full to eat anymore but I still managed to stuff myself with the skewered chicken slices :p The grilled chicken is nothing to shout about though.

Da' birthday babies

Then itz time to wish the birthday boys and girl. I thought the restaurant waiters would come up something creative besides than singing the birthday song but it was quite a disappointment as we sing much louder than them. Huhu.. However ,customers from other tables were clapping for us. Hehe..
We bought a kiddy "cake" for the birthday boys and girl. Hahaha..
Let's see a close-up of the "cake"

Cute heh? Itz actually made of jelly!

Overall, the dinner was good. The food might be a lil bit pricey but it is really worth the money. We all left with a happy heart :)

Sakae Sushi

"I need to eat something less oily and non-spicy" : "Alrite, then let's have japanese food" ; "Sakae Sushi lar" exclaimed the other.
Sakae Sushi originates from Singapore.This restaurant serves variety of sushi, ramen, bento, teppanyaki and the list goes on. Sakae Sushi is much of a newcomer than Sushi King but many customers are flocking to this restaurant these days. Thanks to err.. their "tech savvy" way of ordering food? Customers would place order with a click of a mouse. The orders would then display on the LCD monitor. Once you confirmed those orders, food shall be served shortly by the waiters.


Salmon Temaki - RM3.90
Salmon pieces with lotsa wasabi, lettuce, radish and rice wrapped in seaweed that forms into a cone shape sushi.


Teriyaki Chicken Ramen - RM12.90

Ramen in broth soup served with hard boiled egg, bamboo shoot, green vege and teriyaki chicken pieces. The soup was ok but the chicken slices served were very little.

Chawan mushi RM3.90
Custard consists of an egg mixture flavoured with soy sauce and shiitake mushrooms, and boiled shrimp placed into a tea-cup-like container. This dish is similar to that of Chinese steamed eggs but the toppings might differ.



Special Makimono : Unagi Maki - RM12.90
Hand-rolled sushi stuffed with seaweed, tamago (sweet egg) and cucumber topped with slices of unagi; drizzle in sweet sauce.

Soft shell crab crepe - RM5.90

Deep fried soft shell crab pieces with slices of cucumber rolled in an egg crepe.This dish a lil' bit salty but plus points for its creativity.

Salmon Mayo Inari - RM3.90
Loads of salmon bits mixed with mayonnaise stuffed in inari (sweet beancurd skin). Surprisingly there is no rice in this dish, just pure salmon mayo.

Tempura Ramen - RM13.90

Ramen in broth soup served with prawn tempura (pieces of prawn are dipped in flour, then the batter and deep fried in oil). The prawn tempura pieces are much smaller than the ones you could find at Sushi King or Kiku Zakura.
