Recently, I found a place for me to sit down, read some novel or magazine while listening to the music and drinking some bottomless beverage. It’s not McDonald’s or Starbucks, it’s Sushi King.
The green tea provided is free and it’s bottomless, you get unlimited refill with it. I like to ordered 2 plate of low price sushi, as low as RM2, eat really very slowly and I relax there. You don’t eat sushi quickly because as you tend to eat it quickly, you will crave for it more, so it’s better to eat slowly, let it to digest slowly, and drink a cup of tea and you will be full.
The one thing that doesn’t make it a perfect spot for people to stay long is there’s no Wifi connection in the restaurant. People will tend to sit for a long time if there’s Wifi connection, etc McDonald’s and Starbucks Coffee.
This sushi above is free. I paid nothing for it, seriously I meant.
A few weeks ago, I went to Sushi King with a few friends, they ordered some food, ate and paid. During the payment, I was asked to fill in a feedback form about the restaurant and by just filling in the form, I got a free coupon for this tuna sushi.
It’s not a great sushi but at least I get something FOC. I went to eat it few days ago. At first, I was thinking about just just to eat the free sushi and ordering nothing. I thought I just have to pay for the green tea but the tea was free too! Then I don’t really feel comfortable without paying anything, and walked out after eating the free sushi and green tea, it’s too “Penangite”, so my friend took a plate, the cheapest plate from the belt of sushi. He ate it, and we payed only for that plate of sushi.
The cashier was suprised to see the number 1 on the bill and it was written on the the cheapest plate column. She was so frustrated and was looking for who wrote the bill. We told her who wrote the bill but she can’t find that waitress out. Oh my god, how can she not believing us just ate a plate of sushi?
I went to Gurney Plaza today for lunch. At first I was thinking about going to Kim Gary but when I saw the long queue outside the restaurant, my mom asked for other place. Brother wanted to go to Shih Lin but I just had Shih Lin like 2 days ago and in the end we agreed to go to Sakae Sushi on the new wing of Gurney Plaza.
Usually there’s also a queue on Sakae Sushi, but this time was good. There’s a place for 3 of us deep in the restaurant and the sushi moving belt is there too.
Here’s my lunch. A bowl of unagi rice with those Japanese grilled mushroom. I’ve forgotten what it is called. After checking out their website, now I know it is called Unaga Kamameshi. The rice is like claypot rice but the bowl is a steel bowl, and there’s unagi, bushroom and a little bit of egg. Rice is a lot but unagi is little, mushroom taste good, rice taste special and not bad. Though, I just can’t finish the rice.
Soft shell crab crepe. Brother ordered this because of the recommended sign in the menu. It’s little bit crispy inside because of the the soft shell crab, but it’s not anything special to me.
Wednesday is the day where I and my parents will go out for dinner. Typically, on this day, they don’t go to gym nor any sports game nor any meetings. It’s like a family night for us. As for other days, either mom cook for dinner or mom take-away food for me to eat at home.
On one fine Wednesday night, we didn’t know where to eat and I suggested to go for Japanese food as you know I love Japanese food a lot. 2 restaurants came in my mind, the jail theme Japanese restaurant in town or Jurin at Pulau Tikus? This is because this is two of the so many restaurant in Penang that we haven’t visit before. Well, we went to Jurin as it’s near to our house.
It’s a well-decorated Japanese restaurant, you can see through the inside whenever you pass by Belissa Row on Burma Road. Though, I still feel it lack the Japanese feeling. There’s smoking and non-smoking area in the restaurant, which is a good thing as I hate smoke. It stink, it smell, it suck.
Going through the food, we had finally made our order. Dad and mom shared a set and I myself a set. We had a raw salmon sashimi for appertizer. I do not recommend this for order because it’s so expensive for a freaking 6 pieces of raw salmon at RM24.
It’s better for you to order my dinner set which has a grill salmon fish and again 4 slices of salmon sashimi. With vegetables, miso soup and fruits, it’s only RM34. Grill salmon is nicely grill though I prefer it not to be that dry. At least some sauce is pour on it will be better.
Dad and mom’s was a tepanyaki chicken set. They don’t really know well about Japanese food and 1 of which they know is tepanyaki, the Japanese grill and fried plate. They said it was nice and I didn’t try it.
Overall, it’s pretty full after the dinner. Food was nice to eat, but we are not going to order for sashimi next time. It’s expensive!
