To celebrate the (belated) 10th anniversary of the start of the journey of the two fat bears, the bears decided to try out the often-passed-by-but-never-tried Japanese restaurant, Sushi Tei.
As always, a que is always forming at the entrance.
The bears waited for 5 minutes and were already shown to their seats, nice 🙂
So as tradition, BB ordered a plate of Japanese curry chicken rice…
Curry Rice
BB said he have tried better ones before, this was not the best one. WB however, believed this is actually quite nice. Reason being it has a much heavier curry spice flavour, and evidently less sweet, as Japanese curry tends to be more sweet than spicy. The potatoes and carrots were cooked just right, but the chicken… feels like it is not marinated beforehand at all.
Ebi Don
Looks really nice right? Until you sink your chopsticks on the tempura prawns. The prawns was not piping hot out from the fryer, the flour covering it was already soft and separating from the prawn itself. That apart, the taste of the rice with its gravy was nice. But the bears will not recommend this dish to anyone, utter disappointment.
Next, cheeky WB grabbed a nice plate of sushi off the conveyor belt, name has been forgotten but it is actually crab leg topped with cod fish roes wrapped in beancurd, this tasted amazing…! ❤
No visit to a sushi place is complete without a plate of fresh salmon sashimi!
These 5 pieces of salmon are fresh, fat and juicy. Worth it!!! 😀
Besides the curry, the two bears also ordered some nice plates of sushi off the menu.
Penthouse Salmon rolls
These are actually rolls of rice with avocado as the core, topped with smoked salmon, topped with omelet, topped with burned cheese. They hold up really well when handled with chopsticks (sushi master has got good skills), tasted very nice and satisfying, the only regret WB has is that (in her opinion) the cheese should be burned more so that it melts and covers the top of the sushi.
Phoenix rolls
The core of the rolls are fried shrimp, topped with unagi, then topped with a slice of fresh avocado. Not bad, but not sure if this is a nice combination though. WB loved the avocado, and the unagi, but was not so sure about the fried shrimp. Somehow, it feels like it should have more sauces added to it, to make it more succulent.
The bill came up to RM80+. The fat bears were so full that they could barely walk, after downing so much Japanese rice. But this is a good place apart from the disastrous Ebi Don, and no wonder there is a long que every time the bears passed by 🙂
