Love Nutrient Kaze Japanese Eatery @ Paradigm City, Bukit Mertajam, Penang.

Icon City's latest hip Japanese eating theater has simply swung opened its doors; Kaze Japanese Restaurant occupies 1 whole edifice at Icon City instead of having it shared alongside someone else. Inside the eating theater is slick alongside a mixture of pale as well as bold timber walls, illuminated past times warm xanthous lighting alongside touches of Japanese knick-knacks. Seating infinite could live on to a greater extent than spacious, nosotros felt a footling cramped as well as the distance betwixt tables was also nearly (we could ask heed the conversation happened adjacent table). Though slightly to a greater extent than expensive than average, the service provided to us was proficient as well as the character was a shape higher upwards the rest. The bible-thick card includes a serial of classic Japanese dishes such every bit Sushi Rolls, Ramen, Barbecue Skewers as well as Teishoku. Their surreptitious weapon is likely the air-flown Sashimi but this would exclusively live on beneficial to those alongside a deep pocket. Price tags may look hefty but they commensurate alongside character as well as generous serving size. 

Sashimi, Sushi To Mini Udon Set (Rm 38)

Ebi Tamago Toji Jyu To Shake Sashimi Set (Rm 38)

We were at that spot for tiffin as well as could non resist to companionship their value-for-money Set Lunch; for a Udon as well as Sashimi freak similar me, try their Sashimi, Sushi as well as Mini Udon Set (Rm 38) that comes alongside a bowl of comforting Udon alongside Dashi stock, fresh Sashimi as well as a few choices of Sushi. The raw fish slices were fresh as well as appropriately cut. Do non await downwards on their Chawanmushi either, it may look overly elementary as well as bland but it was velvety smoothen alongside a outburst of sugariness Dashi-essence (Ginkgo, Kani as well as Shrimp were included).  Everything was straight-forward without unnecessary frills, though freshness was the telephone substitution as well as nosotros were glad that Kaze did it right. 

Ebi Tamago Toji Jyu To Shake Sashimi Set (Rm 38) may live on a footling also heavy for some, the Deep Fried Prawns were pretty standard-average but they excel inwards the thick, fresh Salmon Sashimi. Depending on your personal preference, nosotros idea both options were value for money. Kaze's Set Lunch is exclusively available from 11:30 am to two pm; daily.

To share, nosotros had Ika Geso Yaki (Rm 8.80), Grilled Squid Tentacles; diners teach to select betwixt Shioyaki (grilled alongside Salt) or Teriyaki (with Teriyaki Sauce). To our dismay, the Tentacles were overcooked as well as  possessed hard-to-the-bite texture. Flavor was alright, simply that they could better on the texture.

Love Nutrient Bari Uma Japanese Eatery @ Mitsui Outlet Common Klia Sepang, Selangor.

End of the twelvemonth has ever been the best fourth dimension for swain Malaysians to shop- major fashion brands would lure customers amongst huge together with attractive discounts. On my recent trip downward to KL (read my review for Delicious here), I've managed to halt yesteryear Mitsui Outlet Park Sepang... for some quick shopping. The house is quite deserted together with the best means to create out amongst hunger spell you lot are at that topographic point would live on to dine inward at 1 of the restaurants inward the mall. Mitsui Outlet Park Sepang opens equally early on equally 10 am inward the morning time together with nigh restaurants would live on create yesteryear xi am. It was our source see together with nosotros tried our luck at Bari-Uma, a Japanese Ramen specialist....

Quoted from their website "hailing from Japan, Bari Uma prides itself yesteryear offering high lineament Tonkotsu Shoyu Ramen; the meat broth must live on boiled for 10 hours inward social club to create the thick together with creamy consistency."

True enough, Ajitama-Uma (Rm 25.90) comes inward a bowl of thick, rich together with creamy Pork together with Chicken broth topped amongst ii halved Braised Egg amongst runny Yolk, a thick slab of Japanese Char Siew together with Menma (braised Bamboo Shoots). Noodles were made inward menage but nosotros idea they lacked the al-dente texture, likely non meant to live on that means but nosotros similar ours amongst a chewy bite. The broth packed a flavorful punch together with amongst the emulsified fats, nosotros idea it was quite delicious, but non quite the best around. 

For a change, nosotros had their Chicken Broth Ramen amongst Vegetables (Tori Yasai-Uma) for Rm 21.90. The light, build clean Chicken broth carried a layer of creamy fats; topped amongst a handful of crunchy greens (such equally Bean Sprouts, julienned Cabbage together with Black Fungus). The broth was comforting but the Japanese chemical ingredient was also weak to our liking, equally though nosotros were having a bowl of ordinary Noodles amongst Chicken broth.The flavors precisely did non polish or perhaps, their signature Ajitama-Uma outshined this Tori Yasai-Uma.

Love Nutrient Ittan Izakaya (一炭水產) @ Ikon City, Bukit Mertajam, Penang.

It's tardily to notice Ittan Izakaya, thank you lot to the flashy colorful flags amongst Japanese characters correct exterior the restaurant, waving as well as luring Japan-philes to flock in. Fresh Seafood is the matter at Ittan Izakaya, it boasts virtually their air-flown Seafood, require imported from Tsukiji Wet Market Tokyo; seemingly aiming to move the apex inwards serving the freshest Sashimi inwards town. Step inwards the eating topographic point as well as move wow-ed yesteryear the interior decor- filled amongst wooden crates as well as Japanese-character embellishments. We genuinely idea they moved the entire fish marketplace here! All servers were trained to move energetic as well as they volition outcry (earth-shakingly) inwards gratitude for your presence inwards the restaurant. Tables are well-partitioned but if you lot are coming inwards smaller groups (probably two or iii inwards a group), you lot may accept to settle amongst the smaller ones. Alternatively, pick the seats close the Sushi Bar where alive actions tin move seen as well as witnessed but create non facial expression the seats to move comfortable. The carte du jour is dedicated to Sashimi as well as Grilled Seafood... amongst a few exotic choices similar Chicken Sashimi. Not all dishes nosotros had were peachy but they did excel inwards price of freshness of the Sashimi. If you lot are inwards the vicinity, the house is worth a look. 

Salmon Sashimi Don (Rm 20.20)

Minced Salmon as well as Tuna Sashimi Don (Rm 26.90)

Salmon as well as Kanpachi Sashimi Don (Rm 38.70)

Grilled Eel Don (Rm 30.60)

The most of import matter virtually Sushi/ Sashimi would move freshness as well as to create this, restaurants must sell boatload of them to proceed the stocks coming. We were glad to detect out that all of their Sashimi were fresh as well as appropriately sliced to the correct thickness... as well as the texture was non comprised but what made us excited was the texture of the Japanese Rice. It was served to us warm as well as at the perfect sticky-chewy texture, only the agency nosotros wanted it to be! We enjoyed most of them except... the Minced version. The texture was somewhat oil as well as non fine plenty to our liking. We'd recommend their Salmon Sashimi Don, a value-for-money order. 

Chicken Sashimi (Rm 12)

Grilled Minced Chicken Skewer (Rm 12 for two sticks)

Grilled Hokke Fish (Rm 24.20)

Not solely uncooked cuts of Seafood tin move served raw as well as for the real get-go fourth dimension inwards Penang, Chicken Sashimi is besides served. We hesitated at get-go but decided to try... for novelty experience. To our surprise, the Chicken Sashimi possessed the soft-mushy texture only similar Fish Sashimi, sans the Umami-after taste. It had a nary of flavor, to a greater extent than similar biting a spell of green soft as well as juicy meat. Delicious? Not quite the representative I'm afraid. *Eat At Your Own Risk*

The Grilled Minced Chicken Skewer was disappointingly average equally though nosotros were having roughly sweetened Chicken Satay served amongst raw Egg Yolk. Another detail that you lot may forgo would move Grilled Hokke Fish, a type of Mackerel. My Japanese friend commented that the fish was overcooked as well as the texture was dry. It was supposed to move moist as well as juicy. Not that bad but non something that nosotros would lodge again.
