CNY dinner@Tokyo G Sunway Pyramid

There is a CNY custom among Szee and I. Due to the overcrowding in the Chinese restaurants, this year we picked a Japanese restaurant. I never been to Sushi Groove, now it becomes Tokyo G. And now only I paid my first visit at their branch in Sunway Pyramid.

It has a special ambiance that differs from other typical Japanese restaurant. Dimmed, funky, modern. Szee with his new glasses. This time all the photos were taken using his new phone Nokia 5730.

See? Japanese restaurants also have promotions for CNY.

The set is inclusive of 2 chawanmushi, 2 miso soups, 2 ocha, 1 salmon salad, 3 main dishes (10 choices of their best-selling items) and 1 dessert. The choices of main dish is not limited to their signature sushi rolls only, but there are also Salmon Garlic Fried Rice and Curry Bibimbap for rice lovers, or pastas for those who opt for fusion of Western and Japanese food.

The salmon salad. Appetizer that really raised our appetite.

We ordered a pasta and two sushi rolls.

I was impressed! The food served was almost exactly the same as what was shown in the menu. Like it! Unlike many other restaurants which just show nice photos for illustration purposes only, feel being cheated when the food was served.

Our 'yee sang'

This year I lou sang twice, but none of them were proper yee sang. With BMC members we lou bibimbap, while with dear we lou pasta. We have enough creativity.

I was surprised to see clams(lala) in our miso soups. Haha.

Their chawanmushi was superb. We enjoyed it very much and that's why I forgot to take a picture of it.

Lots of food. For the price of RM59.90, the set is worth for money, but I won't recommended for those who could not eat much. Quality of the food? Here are my personal comments:
Tokyo G-carbonara: Mussels were not very big in size, but they were fresh. Usually I don't really like shitake mushrooms, but they tasted nice with the carbonara sauce.
Fusion Dragon: This recipe is a real fusion. Beef and mango slices, shrimp tempura and chili padi. Yes, chili padi! There was a 'spicy' sign in the menu to warn you before you order. Szee didn't like the fusion. While for me, it was unique rather than tasty. Hot-flavoured beef and mango sushi, plus the crunchiness of the tempura, it was a unique sensation indeed.
I♥Unagi Roll: I knew it was topped with unagi, but I wonder what's in the roll! I am not an expert but I think I could tell the unagi was of good quality. The filling in the sushi roll looked like crab stick, but tasted like soft shell crab. I could sense something crunchy inside!

We had Mango Ice Cream Tempura for dessert.

So-so only. No comment on the dessert.

Generally it was a nice dining experience. It was weird to hear waitresses in Japanese restaurant speaking in Malay, but they were attentive and polite. So a plus point for them.

Before we left, took a snapshot at the entrance.

New year, new hope, new target, new goal.
One of the targets: Save money, lose weight; so cut down cari makan. Wish us all the best!

Belly belly gooooood~

Finally we were here, so long after I first discovered this place.

"The pork lover's paradise"

Szee just got his job. He was supposed to sign the appointment letter today, but it was delayed due to the medical checkup. Although not officially be employed yet, but I still fulfill the promise to treat him a meal. And I still owe him a meal of Belly Good since I get my last pay. Haha 2 in 1 la.

It's good to come during weekdays. We ordered the set lunch menu. The set comes with a soup of the day. Add on RM1 for an iced lemon tea.

Very nice mushroom soup! A great appetite stimulant.

The iced lemon tea was the only not-so-nice among what we had.

The mixed platter. Grilled pork belly and pork ribs. RM21.90
I am not a fans of fatty belly and I usually cut off the fats when I have pork. But this is fantastic!
Bravo!

Pulled pork burger. RM12.90
Succulent pork patty and veges. Tasty! But the fries was so-so.

Service was good, nice ambiance. Not so cheap but really worth for money. We said that we will come again, when we have more money to spend.

A Snacking Night

Szee claimed that yesterday was his last day of lecture during his uni life, so he was in charge of everything and I had no rights to question where were we going to have dinner.

We arrived at Sunway Pyramid.

Hot & Roll

We wanted to try since quite some time ago, and we finally did. The menu is simple but with many choices.

Sweet fillings

Savoury fillings

And drinks.

Of course I would go for savoury one. I am not a fans of sweet dessert. Besides the fillings, you have a choice of paratha wrap or crispy wrap. We ordered a pizza(with beef pepperoni) paratha wrap and a satay chicken crispy wrap, plus an ice lemon tea.

You can just grab n' go. I prefer the paratha wrap. The sauce of the fillings will cause the crispy one to become soft but not crispy anymore.
Nice, convenient, and...

friendly kakak. ^^

This alone could not be our dinner, of course. Next station,

Pommes Frites, in Asian Avenue located in the mall too. There are nice foods in Asian Avenue, this Pomme Frites is just next to our favourite Korean restaurant.

Belgium fries is their signature dish.

So many choices of dippings!

They serve pasta as well. But both of us were not in pasta mood. So we ordered the Moules Frites (mussels with fries). We had clams instead of mussels. We were given choices for the clams' style, such as original, curry, tom yam, etc... We picked the ultimate style with cream, and white wine.

Tadaa~~

Love it! Fresh hot, nicely cooked, with onions and mushrooms. The clams were just nice, not overcooked like at many other places. The sauce was not too creamy, and flavour was enhanced by the white wine. We really liked it.

Szee's plate

My plate. Hehe.

The regular pot(500g) with white wine, plus a diet coke, the bill was RM20.40. Worth for money!! I feel hungry when look at the photos again...

So two light meals made our dinner. So full and yummy.
