[Food] Japanese Buffet @Sushi Roiyaru

Japanese buffet fans, rejoice! 

I have here something good to share. This Japanese restaurant in Sri Petaling serves reasonable portion of free flow buffet which accommodates to its price. The varieties are not as much as those of Jogoya's Buffet @Starhill but in terms of freshness and quality, this restaurant deem its recommendation from me.

#1 The entrance and interior of the restaurant features a classic black and wood ensemble, giving off minimalistic and clean ambiance. A good parking spot might be hard to catch duirng peak hours, as the busy street shops are filled with eateries nearby.

#2 Price list ranges from RM68.80 + per adult exclusive of tax and service charge. Half price for children and discounted prices for senior citizens. Menu A consists of mainly cold and raw foods, selection of sashimis and hand rolled sushis.

#3 Menu B for cooked selections.

#4 The first dish served was this grilled salmon with terriyaki sauce topped with tobiko (fish roe). I got a shock at its indistinctive small serving size. Tasted normal but the idea of including fish roe was ideal to bring out a different tinge of bite sensation.

#5 Next on the menu came my most anticipated amongst any Japanese restaurant- the sashimi. Oysters, salmon, tuna and white tuna was fresh and cut well in thickness accordance to its appearance in order to obtain the best flavor. As for the saba/the mackerel, grilling with soy sauce is still preferred over eaten raw.

Tip: Did you know that sashimi is usually served with wasabi and soy sauce. However, to fully enjoy the flavor, the wasabi should be placed on the fish and the fish dipped in the sauce, rather than having the wasabi mixed into the sauce. This is to prevent the flavor of the soy sauce from empowering the fragrance of the wasabi. Refraining from mixing wasabi into the soy sauce also gives the benefit of enjoying different flavoured seasonings for the sashimi. 

#6 Again, my among my most anticipated dish was this- Beauty Collagen in a Pot (Bijin Nabe). Famous among the Japanese female, this pot serves collagen-rich organic chicken broth from non-antibiotic Anxin chicken. The pot came with lumps of white smooth silky pudding which melts into a boiling pot of divine chicken broth after heating. Feel no guilt after a pot of steamboat as you can drink all you like without having to worry about getting thirsty from ajinomotos. The soup base tastes nutritious, rich and extremely flavourful like any chicken broth- plus you get beauty and whitening- all in a pot.

There's a wide selection of add ons to the base soup, from soba noodles to meat, shrimp, beancurd, vegetables, mushrooms, eggs and udon.

#7 Sliced beef to complement the soup. The beef came too thick for me, as accidental overcooked beef results in stiffness, not so pleasing to chew.

#8 For customers ordering buffet, this salmon head seared with terriyaki sauce was served additionally for free.

#9 Same goes to the soft shell crab. Reservations must be made in advanced before 2pm daily in order to be entitled to this. Note: Free servings are not searchable on their menu, means walk in customers dont get the chance to have this served on the table. Another additional free dish was the salmon belly, as which you guessed it-cant order straight from the menu.

#10 Reversed California roll- California maki. Reversed because it is made inside out, wrapping cucumber and soft shell crab. No avocado inside though.

#11 Contrary to the above, the California Temaki handroll made of avocado, crab sticks, cucumber and tobiko.

#12 Chuka Kurage (seasoned jellyfish), Chasu Yaki (roasted pork belly) and Hotate Kushiyaki (grilled scallop).

#13 Gyuniku Teppan (beef teppanyaki). Too stiff to be chewed. A no-no.

#14 Takoyaki (octopus ball)

#15 Smoked duck salad. Apart from having the slices of smoked duck a little smaller, we love the combination of smoky and japanese sesame dressing.

#16 One of the favourite on the table- a combination of ebi tempura and shisamo tempura. Fried to perfection coupled with their special sauce, who can say no to this?

#17 Added a few sushi because whats japanese cuisine without sushi right?

Available choice on the menu for beverage includes green tea and fizzy drinks while dessert serves ice cream in a selection of flavors. All ala-carte dishes/drinks are refillable including the collagen broth, however, wastage would be charged at RM10/100gm.

Other than the small portion, I'm satisfied with the overall reviews, because there's nothing a refill cant fix. I would trade that for the freshness and quality instead.

So be expected to see wholly Japanese products from their website. 

#1



Being the curious me, when TL contacted me to be a Luxey (anyone joining TL community would be referred to as a Luxey) of course I agreed without hesitation and they were so kind to invite Luxeys to meetups held at the convenience of your countries (Asian only). A sincere thank you to TL for bringing not only japanese cosmetics, beauty products, beauty and lifestyle tips but also gather bloggers together to interact and exchange information. 




At the meetup held in P.S. Cafe @Demspsey Hill in Singapore, we were introduced to Ms. Chie Maeda-san (CEO of Rouge Asia and TL) and Ms. Hiromi Hanado-san (Marketing Director of TL ). Yes, where can you find a friendly event that is chaired by non other than the CEO itself right, really humble. And imagine our excitement to find our exclusive bag of goodies presented nicely on each chair. After a brief introduction with all bloggers, Ms. Chie Maeda-san explained the origin of TL, how does the ambassador program works, what beauty and cosmetic products TL offer in the goodies bag and lastly, gaining our opinions on products we are interested and hoping TL would bring in.

[Food] Birthday Bash Pt III

Phew, like never ending birthday posts. Promise this would be last. So I saved the best for last.


Celebration @TGIF no need I mention la right, I assure you there would be tons of them going through the same experience as me. Standing on a chair and sing is a tradition there I heard. Nevertheless, the team still planned everything well and much appreciation for the birthday brownie. Just a lesson learned: Never visit TGIF for birthdays.

 #1  A photo never published. The ugly side of me when I laughed too hard.

#2  The team.

#3  Yup, couple tees coordinate.

#4  Tennessee chicken.

#5  Garlic spaghetti vegetali.

#11  Signature pork rib. Yea, you guys can see how much I love pork rib, having it two days straight. Living up to its claim of a gigantic rib, you dont see it in this photo,but believe me, its REAL HUGE. But I still prefer Morganfield's so far.

#12  Favourite baked cheese. Love him.

[Food] Birthday Bash Pt II

Remember the makan partner I mentioned? Well, she planned a whole day of outing for me. Researching for a good place to dine in is not an easy task, as I have a hard-to-satisfy tongue. Touched and blessed to have her in my life.


@Tamarind Springs. A good fine dining place doesn't only constitute good food, environment plays a role too. This place gains strong recommendation from me. I was first attracted to its bungalow forest kinda surrounding. The place is well built and surrounded by tomb features.

#8  The intrigued entrance.

#9  Greeted by a wall of accomplishments.

#10  Table seatings accompanied by candles. Recommended for romantic occasions.

#11  A few stairs down, I suppose are for night drinks. Great for chit chat area. There is even a pool, forestwalk, fountains all enclosed within the mother nature. For additional pictures, please visit my FB.
Did I mention they serve indochinese cuisine?

#12  Prawn something appetizers. Served as soon as we were seated.

#13  Tamarind drink. Appealing sour taste.

#14  Another cracker appetizer.

#15  Sparkling water. Be careful if you dine in fine dining, mineral water/ sparkling water are charged per 1L bottle. Usually ends in RM20+-

#16  Lamb cutlet. Sorry forgotten the sauce name. Worth trying.

#17  Softshell crab in tamarind.

#18  Garlic fried rice.

#19  She ordered this italian dessert, how sweet. Soft chocolate tart with passion fruit sauce, vanilla foam and saffron ice cream. Love vanilla foam the best.


Strongly recommended.
