Alright, no matter what, I'm determined to finish this up.
I'm stuck in Bayan Lepas anyway. O.o
(with the lousiest IE 6 ever)
Anyway...
For those who crave for the (ahem) higher standard of Japanese cuisine, but afraid of burning a hole too big for your wallet, here's:
Kura restaurant at OneWorld Hotel.
Located right beside the reknowned One Utama, OneWorld Hotel is one of the very few 5 star hotels with an exterior comparable to a budget condominium.
But then again, it makes up for it with the pleasant atmosphere.
And affordable prices (compared to the other 5 star hotels of course).
Kura is actually a branch off from the highly popular Rakuzen, which means that it's related to Zen in Sunway Pyramid, Sushi Zanmai in One Utama and many others.
Taking up most of the space in the second floor (the first floor if counting the ground floor), it's best recognized from far by the wooden hexagonal pieces surrounding the restaurant.
Warm, cliche Japanese greetings will welcome you as you enter.
You can choose any seat you want, but the recommended one would be by the window, overlooking the road linking to Taman Tun.
The table should accomodate at most a family of 6-7.
The menu offers a wide variety of appitizers, and for the (ahem) adventurous, the sashimi, raw fish in Japanese, would be a great choice.
Whether the fish is fresh or not, I have no idea (my dad complains at every restaurant...), but it's definitely more secure than (ahem again...) the 'other' restaurants in malls.
One thing's for sure, they slice it really thin, but they do give more than the standard '6 pieces'.
Or you can get the temaki (hand roll), the condiments ranging from soft shell crab to unagi (eel).
Basically, it tastes like any other restaurant which serves it at a cheaper price, so you can opt for the spider roll - four gigantic neatly sliced sushi with a soft shelled crab as the main.
Here are some recommendations, and feel free to complain if there's a fault (or if you just find it plain disgusting. :D)
Sanma Teriyaki
This fish boasts a wonderful taste, and is one of the best choices to go with the Teriyaki sauce
Problem is, you'll find a hard time picking out the miniscule bones, abundant in the body.
Anyway, if you find it too troublesome, or if there are no more fresh Sanma, you may opt for the mackerel, or better known as Saba.
The taste is around the same, but for Sanma lovers, it's worlds apart.
Agedashi Tofu
Famous for its 'soft yet crisp' skin, this tofu too makes a great starter.
It comes in huge chunks, sprinkled with lots of shredded nori and bonito flakes.
With some sauce to top it off.
Hotate Mentaiyaki
They say it's scallop in its shell, topped with mushrooms and fish roe.
Unfortunately, it should be assorted mushrooms in scallop shell with a piece of scallop.
Anyway, it tastes really good, and you get to take home the shell if you ask for a take away.
:D
But I think it's not really worth your money.
(aww)
Nice, Tasty (blah blah blah) Garlic Rice
RM 9. ^^
Assorted Tempuras
(enough said)
*-*-*-*-*
And if you're really too lazy to choose, here's some bentos.
Or maybe, the bento.
Cause my flight is 9.30. O.o
Rokkaku Bento
For RM75, you get slices of Salmon Sashimi (in Zipangu Shangri-la, 6 slices of salmon sashimi is RM75!), Chirashizushi, Yakimono, Tempura, Sunomono, Nimono, Chawanmushi, salada and Miso soup.
Frankly speaking, I have no idea what most of them mean, but I'm fairly sure that you'll like it.
Well, FAIRLY sure...
Tell me if you want me to review Zipangu restaurant.
But I don't think it's going to be really great for the parents.
:D :D :D
Pictures shall be (attempted) uploaded soon
Cheers! ^^
