Last Friday, I had to drive all the way to pick Melissa up from her jungle school again and we stopped for lunch on our way home and no prize for guessing who was the happiest…
…when I told her we would go to this newly-opened franchise place in town…
…that, I’m sure, is so very familiar to most people already as the outlets are all over. She loves Japanese!
They did not seem to have a lot of choices on the conveyor belt – oh yes, they had lots all lined up but unfortunately, they all seemed to be those same few things. We had one sushi…
…after another…
…and another…
…and another…
…and frankly, one did not taste any different from the other and if they did, I certainly did not notice.
This is one of my personal favourites at all sushi places…
…and all right, theirs were pretty nice…and I also took this off the belt…
…and Melissa had these…
…and we also helped ourselves to this…
…while my missus took these…
…which I kind of liked but at RM2.00 each, they certainly did not come cheap. Ouch!!! In fact, I thought nothing was cheap…and holy cow! The place was packed to the brim and people had to queue up to get a table. Yes, me too! If not the sake of my girl, I would have gone off some place else, no…thank you very much!
We were there just before 2.00 p.m. and we did place our individual à la carte orders from the menu as well. My missus had this rice cake burger (RM7.00)…
…while Melissa had the soft shell crab salad (RM18.90)…
…and I thought the dressing was pretty good…
…just that for someone who’s not really fond of it, like me, I reckoned it could do with a little bit less sesame oil but she enjoyed that…
…and that was all that mattered.
I ordered their mixed bento…
…which was pretty good BUT for that, we had to wait and wait and wait and it was well past 3.30 p.m. already by the time it was served…and yes, I was not exactly too pleased by then, not at all. However, as they say, every cloud has a silver lining…and because we were STILL there after 3.00 p.m. we were given 20% discount on our sushi as their happy hours start then till 6.00 p.m. Still, the bill came up to around RM90.00, inclusive of tax and service charge…despite the fact that there were some miscalculations which, of course, I would not elaborate on here. Actually, Melissa insisted on picking up the tab so I only noticed it now while writing this post. Wink! Wink! Hehehehehehe!!!!
On the whole, I would not say the lunch was all that great – definitely not enough to make us want to go again and good grief!!! It was soooooo expensive! I think we can easily take that kind of money and give ourselves a much more enjoyable (and cheaper) treat at this place here…anytime so you can jolly well guess whether or not I would be going back there again…
...STILL CRAZY AFTER ALL THESE YEARS!
