It’s Sushi King Card RM2 Bonanza! Sorry, that I am telling you right now. If you are reading this, tomorrow is the last day for this thing. If you don’t have a Sushi King card, do borrow it from your friend like I do.
Well, I didn’t miss it as I have already went for it yesterday and it’s was a lot funner than last time. The previous one that happened in March wasn’t that good because it was at Prangin Mall’s and the place was not that clean and warm.
I was suggesting to go to Gurney Plaza’s but my friend can’t make it that far and we went to E-Gate’s Sushi King. Queensbay Mall will be a little bit too far and I am afraid that there’s too many people at there too. There’s many people at E-Gate too, we waited for like 10 minutes outside before getting a seats in there and it was after lunch time, around 2pm.
It’s very nice that we got a seat by the belt because there’s people don’t get to sit by the belt. I also get to get my first hands on those expensive coloured plate first.
Some of them stand by the belt just to wait for those high demand one’s like the Unagi and Sake (Salmon).
I took 6 plates, all of which were purple and red which are normally priced at RM5 and RM6 each. =D I was too busy waiting for the plates to come around so I’ve forgotten to take photos of some of them. I ate Salmon, Unagi, Scallops and Prawn. Went twice for Unagi and Scallops.
The lunch for me was good and full. One thing about eating sushi is you can’t keep putting it in your mouth, you have to eat it slowly, eat a couple of it and rest for like 10 minutes and slowly, you will feel full. If you keep putting it into your mouth, you will forget about the price and will be bloated. Haha.
Anyway, my favourite sushi are still the salmon and unagi. Didn’t get a chance to try another type of scallop sushi, perhaps next time gonna try it already.
Do you like Sushi?
I believe some of you may know about the recent promo by Sushi King lately. They are having the Unagi Time promotion until this weekend which is promoting all their Unagi food. I don’t really know about the pricing whether it’s expensive or not because I don’t really eat out at Sushi King a lot, Japanese food is always more than affordable to me.
Last weekend, I went to Sushi King and I did not go there purposely to try out the food on their Unagi Time menu. It was just a normal lunch, no idea where to eat and in the end went in to Sushi King.
Being a budget eater, I looked over the menu and found the most budget meal, the Unagi Omurice, for only RM8.90. It was lunch, I needed something to fill my stomach, was really very hungry that time and since there’s omurice, I ordered it.
Fried garlic rice wrapped in egg with 2 slices of little unagi. That’s really very budget. The rice was good but the slices of unagi were too thin, can’t really taste out the feel of unagi. The portion was quite small and I was not full after consuming it. So, I was forced to look for sushi on the moving belt.
By the way, if you or your friend have a Sushi King card, you get 10% of your bill. ^^
This was my second visit to Jurin Express at Gurney Plaza. It’s not my idea to go to this restaurant but it’s my brother’s. He said he had never been there before so he want to give it a try, but then I’ve already tried it before. Anyway, since dad had never been there too and my mom said nothing about it, we went there for lunch.
Brother wanted to eat Sashimi and so, we ordered a 5 pieces Salmon Sashimi. It’s almost RM30 for 5 pieces and could be say as expensive. Wondering is it the market for such dish? Though, the salmon were really fresh and you can feel the softness of the meat in your mouth. Wow.
Another side dish was a fried vegetable in tepanyaki style. Nothing much to comment about it, healthy and good.
My main dish was the stone bowl spicy salmon. There’s egg, mushroom, vegetable and the fried salmon. What I liked was the mushroom in the stone bowl, it’s sweet! As for the salmon and overall, I prefer the stone bowl from Kim Gary’s, seriously.
Best food of the day was Unagi something-something Sushi. I love Unagi and it’s nice!

Jurin Express is from the same people behind of Jurin Sushi Bar at Belissa Row, Pulau Tikus. This one is situated at Gurney Plaza’s New Wing. At first, I thought it was a fast food liked restaurant with the word “Express”, but it still a same “look at the menu and take your order” Japanese restaurant. There’s like 4 Japanese restaurants in Gurney Plaza, competiting with each other.
My mom’s friend invited us for a dinner there. It was quiet that night but it seems like it’s quiet all the time because every time I passed by, there’s not many customer in there. Wrong timing, perhaps. =)
Anyway, let’s get into the food.
She got herself a Unagi-don. The unagi fillet is nicely decorated with the sesame seeds which I feel it’s just decoration. The fillet tasted sweet but a little bit too dry. Didn’t feel amaze with what it is, it’s just Unagi. I’ll say bigger would be better.
I’ve forgotten to mention, the food was really express, it served after a few minutes we had ordered. I think the “Express” word on its name really got what it meant. I ordered a Tepanyaki Grilled Salmon. The waitress got me a plate of grilled salmon and I waited for the rice for a some times. Then I asked my rice, only then I knew she got my order wrong. She gave me a ala carte Grilled Salmon instead.
I insisted on the Tepanyaki Grilled Salmon because it comes with vegetable, miso soup and a rice. Unfortunately, the salmon fillet is down sized from the ala carte’s. I like the sauce on the salmon, the salmon is nice but it’s small. The miso soup was clear but I like it.
Overall, I feel the food tasted just normal, salmon was nice, unagi was normal. I didn’t felt WOW with the food. The price of food is just like any typical Japanese restaurant price. If the price go down to the “express food” price, then I’ll visit again. Cheer.
Jurin Express is located on the second floor of Gurney Plaza’s New Wing, next to Sushi King.
