Restaurant: Fu-Rin Japanese Restaurant, Holiday Inn Glenmarie, Shah Alam, Selangor

Japanese food are very interesting. The variety — raw, fried, grilled, cooked, and all the lively colours are too good to resist. Here’s sharing some of the buffet food.

Here’s sharing some of the buffet food from Fu-Rin – the beautiful Japanese restaurant with a beautifully landscaped Zen garden in Holiday Inn, Subang. I was there with some of my family members and I tell you, I had fun eating a little bit of everything…

At the restaurant entrance, you will also find a selection of sake, or Japanese wines
to complement your dining experience here as well. Sake, anyone??

Fu-Rin offers a wide variety of Japanese cuisine. They have a Teppanyaki Counter, Sushi Bar, the Soup and Noodle, and Desserts… I didn’t know where to start but headed to the Sushi bar. Before that, I just wanted to tell about the interior of the restaurant.. it is very nice n comfy, the floors are dark and they have stretches of pebbles along the paths to make it look pretty. And besides the normal dining area, they do have tatami rooms and private dining rooms too!

We started of with some warm Ocha, served in cute little dark mugs.

The Miso Soup was good, pretty strong, but good. I had fun picking some cubes of tofu, spring onions, and seaweed into the soup. I love Miso Soup so much, I wanted to take home the entire pot! They also had the Soba and Udon noodles to try. I know many are big fans of Chawamushi — I am not… but it sure looks delicious as my mum loved it.

Teppanyaki Counter is one you should not miss at all! Teppan means iron plate, while yaki refers to “plate”, hence the Japanese version of Grilled foods. They had some marinated scallops, prawns, chicken, mussels, vegetables, and etc.

Besides the Teppanyaki counter, you’ll find some tempura dish – unfortunately there were not much, but eggplant and sweet potato tempura. I had some eggplants and wished they had capsicums, spinach… tried then in a Japanese buffet in Evergreen Laurel, Penang some time ago.

At the Sushi Bar, you will see various rolls of makizushi, such as tuna, salmon, vegetarian, tofu, and also those raw sushis… My favourite was the California Rolls as they are freshly rolled. They had some raw oysters, salmon, and tuna, but I didn’t feel like having any today…

At the main course counter, I tried some Japanese fried rice, Japanese-style curry, deep fried chicken, fried soft-shell crab, and more of which I don’t quite recall.. It was too many! The food was so enjoyable, what more when dining with my family. If only my dad was also here that night! He loves food!

My nephews, obviously targeted desserts since they walked in the restaurant. Here’s what they grabbed below… looks delicious!

They also had cakes, puddings, and fruits. I was too stuffed to eat much dessert.. but now, I feel like I want to go there again! Perhaps my brother in law can take us there again (as he works there,, hehehehe…)!!!

Red bean jelly with fruits. They have my favourite – suji. The best would be the black sesame ice cream. That was very Japanese compared to the rest…

Restaurant: Ninja Jones Izakaya, Kuala Lumpur

Raw salmon prepared with some italian touch. To tell you the truth, I don’t really like those salmon that was served at Sushi Kings and all those fast food Sushi restaurants cause I feel that the fish ain’t fresh enough. But This plate of raw fish, I can tell you this, the one plate we ordered isn’t enough for both of us!

Wagyu Beef or Kobe Beef, your choice. The beef do taste different compared to those you get in other places. All those massaging and alcohol DO give the cows better meat! How long it takes for you to cook the beef is also up to you, so you can choose to have some as rare, medium raw or cooked.

Valentine’s Day Dinner
Guess where I took MiSsMyNx for Valentine’s Day Dinner? Where you able to guess? It’s written all over my previous food post!

Anyway, since no one answers me (how could you right? You’re reading my blog, not chatting with me…). The answer’s Ninja Jones @ Northpoint.

Making an early reservation was a good thing as there were practically crowd lining up waiting for their seats at the entrance from 7.30pm onwards… Now, the best bit I overheard from the manager was that, by 8.30pm, those without reservation, they have to be turned away. There just isn’t enough space to accomodate walk in customers for that day. Inside my heart was like, phew, Thank God I made reservations for us.

On to the food that we ate… Gyu Karubi Sumini-Yaki: Wagyu Beef or Kobe Beef, your choice. The beef do taste different compared to those you get in other places. All those massaging and alcohol DO give the cows better meat! How long it takes for you to cook the beef is also up to you, so you can choose to have some as rare, medium raw or cooked.

Salmon Carpaccio: Raw salmon prepared with some italian touch. To tell you the truth, I don’t really like those salmon that was served at Sushi Kings and all those fast food Sushi restaurants cause I feel that the fish ain’t fresh enough. But This plate of raw fish, I can tell you this, the one plate we ordered isn’t enough for both of us!

Soft Shell Crab Temaki: This California Roll with Soft Shell Crab in it looks good, but I didn’t eat any of it. Didn’t really like Seaweeds.

King Prawn Roll: I’ve commented about this dish before in my previous Ninja Jones post and I will still say it again. It was good! Too bad they didn’t have any Caterpillar Roll that night or we’d have ordered that again.

Volcano Roll: Again, a dish that we can never get bored of, no matter how many times we orders it.

Eringi Ninniku Shoyu Grill: Mushrooms on a grill, best eaten as soon as it arrived as the mushroom will tend to have a tougher bite to it as it starts to dry up from the heat of the stove.

Ti-Ra-Mi-Su: The Tiramisu Cake with a scope of green tea and some fruits in it. A nice dessert to end the night. So, How was your Valentine’s Dinner? Do come and comment a bit.
