Sister craved for Japanese food… I cracked my head to think of where can we have Japanese food in Penang… thought of going to Miraku Restaurant @ G Hotel…. but when I picked her up after work… she said that she wanted to go Yataimura @ Pulau Tikus….

Mom doesn’t have her dance class that night… so she joined us for dinner…

It’s food time!

1. Octopus sushi… damn nice lor!

2. Mom can’t eat raw food… so we ordered Shoju ramen for her…

3. Hotate @ Scallop…. so small and so expensive… even worse than Tao’s scallop… not worth to order this RM 16.90

4. Sashimi! They have offer that day… RM 16.90… normal price is RM 19.90… erm…. quite fresh … so still worth it

5. Salmon, Tuna wrap with vege… niceeee

6. Unagi handroll…. I seldom order handroll… so… this is quite alright for me…

7. How can me missed out edamame? Mom’s favourite.. and the Edamame here really nice compared to Sushi Kind & Sakae Sushi & Azuma

8. Tako Wasabi… tasted weird weird…. not nice…. so don’t try it next time

9. Last but not least ~ Papaya + Salmon skin salad…. niceeeee…. the salmon skin very crispy but mom & sis said the dressing too sour… to me still alright

Well…. the food quite satisfying…. no complain at all… will go to have a try again when got chance… but I would want to try other Japanese restaurant first

Wasn’t in good mood lately.. that is why this took so long for me to post it up… =___=|||

Anyway, I have never been to Rasa Sayang Hotel’s buffet dinner cuz it is wayyyyy too expensive for me… There was once on Dec 2009, they have promotion with Buy 1 Free 1. Missy and I thought of going… BUT… we were taken back as I heard bad comments on the food.. the food wasn’t filled on time even the tray was empty … the oysters and lobsters were very small.. etc… therefore we weren’t there…

This time around.. got an invitation from a friend.. so.. I just went for it…

It was really amazing to see so much food there… omg! From Indian food: tandoori chicken to roti canai to satay, … to baked food which included: baked oyster, baked potato, baked vege, baked duno what, … to western cuisine: fresh cheese, cold platter, pumpkin soup, beef-don’t-know-what, etc .. to chinese cuisine: steam rice, fried rice, yong tau hu, curry chicken, fried soft crab, fried vege, sharks fin soup, herbal black chicken soup, etc… to pastries: cakes, dough, mini tarts… to salad bar… to live cook… to fresh live seafood: oyster, lobster, prawn… to Japanese food… to desserts: ice-cream, ice-kacang…

Spices on the tables.. served as a decoration:

The wasabi was very cute:

>> but not after people started to scoop it

Ok, let the pictures say it all:

OMG! Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much food!!! Gosh! Lazy to put all the pictures up.. lol.. paiseh paiseh

There were stories on these oyster or I called it as fresh seafood section. First time my friend went to pick them up.. there was a long queue.. cuz a group of people just came in.. so waited for his turn patiently… when almost his turn.. he heard d guy in front told his friend: “Hey faster take. Later no more” >.<

When it was my turn to take the cheese which was beside the fresh seafood.. came another guy (Not sure was it the same gang) said the same thing : “Faster take.. take more. Ah bo later need wait them refill” =_______=||| Need to be like this meh?!!!! So cheapo. Come on la! You dine in at a 5 star hotel and you paid RM 200+ for a dinner. How could “No Stock” happen? omfg! So embarrassing! This also reminded me of someone. Someone who will say the same thing when he/she dine in here. *sigh*

As for lobster, many people just took out the meat and left the shell on the tray. WTF! Really no brain ler. Just take the shell and the flesh together la. Not really giving you big problem right? Gosh!

I can have 4 servings only which included fresh oyster, lobster, mixture of food, ice-cream with plenty of toppings, sashimi, salad, 3 x cheese….. and I didn’t even try the pastries (honestly I don’t like pastries), ice-kacang, yong tau hu, live cook, sushi (cuz I’ll be very full), tandoori chicken, roti canai, satay

ya ya… I know I’m really a small eater and it is really a waste to bring me there… and what is even worse? I got a bad stomach which after my meal ..I felt so bloated and till I reached home I still had a bad stomach… thought I could sleep without thinking much… but I was wrong! I couldn’t even sleep the whole night.. tossed here and there… and my stomach didn’t get well till the next morning… *sigh*

Thanks to my friend I get to try this expensive buffet.. but also this meal.. I know I can’t eat too expensive buffet… bad stomach.. bad bad

Well.. according to a colleague… she said that normal price is around RM 200 each person after including all the taxes… I was like OMFG!!! RM 200? DAMN! Shouldn’t have gone… should have gotten some other food…

Lucky I didn’t have to pay and got to try the once-in-a-life-time-torturing-meal

The best of the dishes: cheese platter… at least got 5 different types of cheese are available… but some I didn’t like… and can mix with apricot, macadamia, walnut, almond, salad cream, biscuits… reminded me of the Cheese Platter Pei San prepared for us.. hers got strawberries, kiwi, biscuits, spicy dips… yummy…miss Australia now

By the way, at the entrance of the restaurant, they got sell spices.. but the prices were really shocking. Chilli powder RM 7/100gm =___=||| Imported from India a? So expensive!!

Overall, the food was really nice. It was full house that night. Hmmm… Penang people really spend their money in food… hmmm… I will pay them a visit again… only IF is FOC

Heard from colleagues that Tao every year May also have 50% off for who ever born that month..it’s their Anniversary! lucky me … I always have the chance to enjoy 50% discount…lol……

I didn’t manage to make it with colleagues @ Tao Autocity cuz mom and sis want to go Tao as well…so we ended up in Tao e-gate….

I arrived first….so I ordered some of the food…. have my cold peach tea while waiting for them…..I ordered quite a lot at first go…so when the food came…I don’t have enough time to snap picture…so I kinda “force” sis and mom to wait for me…before they start to eat….lol….

Compiled all the pictures in one… kinda lazy to upload one by one…lol…..

Sis said she wasn’t full on the first order….so we order again….total scallop ordered is 11 sets x 3 = 33 scallopsssss ….hehe……then grilled lamb x 2, ice-cream x 3, edamame x 2, steam unagi x 2… the rest are one set only…

I would say…this was my third time dining in Tao…the food is still the same…but the feeling is different….kinda like it this time…cuz I get to spend my time with my family when I’m not in a good mood…thanks to them to cheer me up… yes! Love my family very much….

We didn’t order sashimi that much cuz one of the fish is not that fresh… and sis doesn’t want to eat it….and I don’t want it either…so … we didn’t order much..just 1 set only

Anyway, it was quite a worthy meal….. sis and I got 50% discount… then for early bird who dine-in b4 6pm get 10% discount… cool! Save quite a lot

We forgot to ask… is there any limit for birthday people to eat during the month of May? If no…then I might want to go with sis again…cuz it is soooooooooooooooo worth it!

I’m loving it ^^
