Cariso Delicacies Corner

A  group of us finally managed to get  together for the last round before 2011 ends.

When one of us suggested to have Kampachi Japanese Buffet, the most impressive item that I could think of is its SASHIMI!

Priced at RM65++ (Note : CIMB card provides 10% discount)

Let’s refresh what kinds of dish varieties available there. What being captured below did not represent the whole, some items were not taken.

Sashimi 

See? Thick slices of fresh salmon, no chiak-khau at all! After all these years, they still remain generous.

Unfortunately the one that I like most- Hokkigai (Ark Shell) sashimi is always not in the buffet stream. :p

Sushi choices.

Soba & Udon.

Tofu [...]

This is the September Promotional Set.

Unagi Kabayaki To Kimuchi Chahan Set (RM19.90).

Hmm……I must not complain even if the unagi size served is MINI. Mind you, look at the price lah ok?!

It’s great to have kimuchi fried rice, but then it’s simply too ‘strong’ for this unagi set. I would prefer plain rice or just garlic fried rice will do.

Red plate Maki (RM5.80) [...]

Since the first visit, I have already known the serving size here is small thus I have no further comment on this.

I was not biased towards Kozue but everytime I went (three times already oh!), there wasn’t any satisfactory one. Why? could it be due to “taukeh tak ada” ?

The ‘miscommunication’ story of my past visit is here.

This time, Kozue has come up with Set Lunch Promotion finally.

One of the choices is Sushi Set. [...]

Matsuki Japanese Restaurant （松本日本料理） @ Cantonment Road, off Gurney Drive.

Japanese restaurants with affordable sashimi price and above average quality are getting less and less. Therefore Matsuki still carries weight even though I have explored lots of Jap restaurants.

Just imagine over here we can still order Teriyaki Chicken Set at the price of as low as RM12+!!

Complimentary appetizer with green tea.

Sashimi Mori Sakura (Special mixed raw fish) RM40+

At Azuma this type of sashimi set (although not exactly the same combo/standard) easily costs you RM70+.

Here’s the complete ala carte sashimi menu of Matsuki for your reference.

Unagi Set (B.B.Q Japanese eel with special sauce) RM30+ [...]

After a long pause since last year story telling X , there we went again to Azuma to compensate the LOSS of hope I had in Tsuruya a few days ago.

This is the August Promotion Set.

Gindara Amakaraini Set (RM19.80)

Pan fried cod fish with spicy teriyaki sauce, served with baby mushroom miso soup, steam egg, spinach, rice with small dried fish, salad and fruits.

The pan fried cod fish was well done, tender inner with crispy outer. However I found that the teriyaki sauce was too heavy (sweet).

Unagi Yanagawa Don (RM18.00) = Eel with veg and egg on rice (Medium= RM18)

Oh, now only I realized this dish got sizes one, either you go for medium or large. This unagi don is a good choice if you do not wish to have other side dishes in bento order.

Sashimi Moriawase Take (RM70.00)

Assorted sashimi (7 kinds) – consists of red tuna, salmon, octopus, prawn, hokkigai and shiro maguro. [...]
