Japanese food @ Senjyu, The Curve, Mutiara Damansara

Finally, after reading so many reviews about Senjyu and the quality of Japanese food served there, I decided to give it a try.

Senjyu is reportedly, a high end and high class Japanese restaurant, and here I may confirmed that those reports and reviews on many blogs are delightfully true. Indeed, it was a wonderful experience to enjoy good Japanese food at Senjyu.

My jobless picture of cutlery and the menu while waiting for the food to arrive. Dunno why the lighting was so orenge-y.

My beautiful Jasmine Faery tea and my lovely lobster chawanmushi. There is no simple green tea here; in Senjyu the green tea are steeped with flowers, giving it a hint of sweet aroma with an exotic tang.

My beautiful Faery in the beautiful cup ^_^

Carppaccio Moriawase: half broiled salmon, tuna, butterfish accompanied with 5 condiments (sake is the clear coloured one, ponzu sauce, soy sauce, spicy sesame oil, sesame seed) and sprinkled with salmon roe. Loved the popping!

I could not get enough of the salmon roe so I had the sushi, along with premium river eel (Jyo Unagi Sushi, which tasted better than the usual eel, but cannot beat the sea eel) and surf clam (Hokkigai Sushi). Above is my salmon belly sashimi which was superb with a pinch of lemon!

Oyster! Made into Oyster Roll with the combination of light tamago wrapping around the oyster and Japanese mushroom, prepared in a special sauce.

My hotate... freshly flown in. Ike Hotate & Kinoko Yaki : they serve this in simmering broth in the scallop shell. I quickly took the poor hotate off the fire and asked the waiter to take the fire pot away as it was getting too hot... =p

Lastly, a dessest of plain old green tea ice cream ^_^

When the bill came, it total up to RM 157.76 including taxes. Considered excellent for the load of seafood.




Note:

Status: serve no pork. Cooking may contain alcohol


Service: Excellent! The server explained the menu well, keep appearing to refill the teapot, and I changed my plate 3 times (they keep offering to change for a fresh plate)!


Ambience: lovely! Tatami sitting on cushion actually but who cares.

Malacca historical trip 04: driving around

Finally we got tired and lazy and hot... So back into the car.

Stadhuys.

Malacca historical trip 03: walking around

After the breezy ride, we finally used our feet ^_^

Just a nice tree in the park

Malacca historical trip 02: Beca ^_^

After the Taming Sari tower, it was too hot to walk around so what else, beca lah!

So many colourful beca. For RM 20 they bring you to certain historical sites and allow you 5 minutes stop to take picture, total ride30 minutes. An additional RM 20 for further sites and extra 1/2 hour. Not a bad deal. Plus the folks are nice and the beca are equipped with stereo system ^_^

My beca ride was a breezy one technically and literally. The guy who pedaled it was only 16!! And boy, he looked way lighter than me...

We passed by the Malacca tree (behind that cannon), from which Malacca got its name. It's a long story cut short.

The stamp museum

Malacca historical trip 01: Taming Sari Tower

I have not visit Malacca for such a long, long time since primary school (when the main event was always about visiting historical places like Malacca blah blah blah...). So I got kind of overwhelmed when I arrive at the heart of the Malacca city...

 

To make life easy, we attacked the obvious first, the infamous Taming Sari tower which offer a bird's eye view of Malacca city. Here is where we bought the tickets.

This small thing is actually 110 meters high...

The carrier.

That's Holiday Inn (tall white building) and a hotel I can't recall what.

The historical sites.

Dataran Pahlawan where Almarhum Tunku Abdul Rahman first declared our independence.

The new attraction, duck boat/ride.

During the brief 7 minutes the guide was supposed to brief us about the view but it was too noisy with people screaming they are scared of heights (WTH are you doing here then?) and babies crying and children screaming so the guide abandoned the effort. Too bad...
