Kin Shui Tei @ Tropicana Golf Club PJ

the master chef there started Kampachi.. if you go during birthday, he will cook up a unique set dinner according to your preferences (not on the menu)

vkeong u are da best dawg~

if u are interested in the special menu, remember to call in first and make an appointment with the chef

cant find the special menu

if u think kin shui tei better then rakuzen then i will change location edi

special menu is not on the website one.. it's like this.. the chef will come out n meet you guys.. see your face, height, weight, dressing etc. then ask questions about your food preferences, whether you eat raw food or not, prefer chicken or fish those kind la

then he will design a meal uniquely for you, that no one else will ever have

Can try hajime Restaurant at AMpang.very near to KLCC

how much wohhh?

wrong post

not necessraiy all japanese buffet
ala carte also can

sushi king lah..for 200bucks u can eat egg until oh feh feh sui

i need quality food my fren
with proper ambiance and atmosphere would be better
choosen rakuzen
my next trip would be kin shui tei if this time berjaya la~

There's tis japanese restaturant in Uptown next to HSBC...sorry I forgot the d name but is only one thre at the HSBC Uptown. d tecture of the chawan mushi is excellent! Must go for buffet... worth d money. Buffet is not available for dinner

umai ya?

This post has been edited by washabushi: May 21 2009, 10:13 AM

anywhere else i can find nice chawanmushi?
i'm coming back again to try new chawanmushi
i'll try new 1 everytime i come back to kl


thanks a lot

Chawanmushi?

You can have it at Yoshinoya, Midvalley or Sunway Pyramid.
Nasi daging Yoshinoya is the best!!!!!!

i don't have any to recommend.. but i can tell you to avoid Sushi Tei's (Tropicana City Mall) cawanmushi.. sucks.. taste bitter

best is sushi king.

Chawanmushi is damn easy to make. You can make it on your own if you want.

For restaurant with nice ambience. You can go to Kampachi Pavillion. The chef there was great last time. We wanted something not on the menu and the chef made it for us anyway. It was croquette. Not something easy to make right off the bat cause you have to take some time to boil the potatoes.

Another nice place is Tomoe Subang Jaya. Super good ambience and workers. Super expensive too. 200 for 2 enough for chawanmushi plus normal stuff. Premium stuff better shell out 400.

Better order sake too. 14% alcohol. Get her drunk and ......=) just joking. Sake taste really good.

wat normal stuff? a bento set each?

Not bento set la. Normal sushi like prawn sushi, salmon, tuna. Yakiniku, soba stuff grilled fish, tempura....200 can eat until satisfied i think.

Not normal stuff is like otoro, chutoro, octopus, sukiyaki, wagyu beef....

Normal sushi abour 5 per sushi...normal dish about 15-20 per dish

Not normal is like 20-30 per sushi...30-60 per dish....100+ per 100g of beef....sweet

veli expensiveness la.

i think i stick to jusco sushi.

hi..
im a chawanmushi-lover n must order it everytime i go to a japanese restaurant.
i'll recommend you sushi zanmai at one utama as their chawanmushi is reli good..
i think its one of the best in fact!
go give it a try if you havent..

where is this .. i wanna go .. my bday this sunday lol

its at bukit mertajam la of coz !

I second that statement.

I am not sure if it is the best but it is really good. I kinda like to have it with some steamed peas too.

So far been twice for the chawanmushi and it has been good so far. Price is quite affordable too if you are on some sort of budget.

thanks...
i'll try the 1 u mention at kin shui tei 1st
n will avoid sushi tei

u've been very helpfull
i appreciate it very much

If price not an issue, seriously go to Tomoe, Subang Jaya. Located opposite SJMC, same row with Rakuzen Subang Jaya. The row with many Jap restaurants. The food there is seriously EXCELLENT. When I went twice, majority of customer were not Malaysia but Japanese expats.

thanks for ur suggestion,
will try it when i back~

i go subang sheraton hotel for jap food only.

there is this japanese restaurant in taman desa but i forgot the name.. it is the same row as secret recipe and it is the only one japanese restaurant around.. their ala carte is damn nice and chawanmushi is definitely better than rakuzen, shogun, jogoya, saisaki and shogun
go try 1st

oh
may i know roughly how much per head?
do they serve nice chawanmushi?

Added on July 10, 2009, 12:08 pmtaman desa very big...

Behind city mall at Jalan Tun Razak. A small house renovated to become a restaurant. You'll have to ask around.

I don't remember the restaurant's name, but it was the first time I've ever had chawanmushi that's even better that the ones I had in my 5-year stay in Japan.

Reasonably priced, I think... Someone paid for my bill the last time I went there, so I don't know how expensive/cheap it is.


AHH!! I got the restaurant name.

Hajime restaurant.

No. 64,
Jalan Damai Off Jalan Tun Razak,
55000 Kuala Lumpur
03 2143 0073

Ambience: Cozy

Price: Expensive. LOL!
Chicken Teriyaki Set – RM38.00
Hotatei Ninniku -RM16.00
Black Spider Roll – RM18.00
Chawanmushi – RM12.00
Kurogoma Ice Cream – RM12.00
spicy sauce salmon tataki (RM32), Hotatei Ninniku (RM16), green tea chasoba (RM18), California Cheese Unagi Maki (RM26) and the Black Spider Roll (RM20), Beef with light wasabi sauce (RM24), Kurogoma (Black Sesame) Ice cream (RM12)

thank u very much...
as long the food is nice...
pay slightly more is ok with me
thanks a lot

Agreed with Hajime. The food is very nice. But make sure you make reservations!

shogun's abit salty, and yesterday just had tenji's not bad, but i prefer spa boiled egg more =).
btw, tenji RM39.90 promo is back again, till end of july =D

wow...so many recommendation on hajime...
some chawanmushi enthusiast insist me to try 1Utama
and i also wanna try the 1 intro by Vkeong...
wonder if possible to date her 3 days for 3 restaurant or not lolx

Hehe. Date her at Hajime. It is quite romantic. XD
And the chawanmushi is really good.

If she loves desserts, even better! Their ice cream is yummy (hint: try their sorbet or imported ice cream).

Otherwise, Iketeru at KL Hilton.
