First…

First, there was just this one (2.293099, 111.836183) along Lorong Chiew Siik Hiong 1 among the shops behind the Rejang Medical Centre (Jalan Pedada) here…

…and this one alone, opening daily from 11.30 a.m. onwards. If I am not mistaken, it was the sole Japanese restaurant in town, pronounced as “tier” as in the Chinese surname and not tie as in necktie.

We would drop by everytime we felt like having Japanese and this was on one of our more recent visits. Ever since this one opened, we had been going there instead because we liked what they dished out a lot more but they have since closed their doors, no more. My girl and the mum did go back to this one again not too long ago and had one of their sushi sets but they did not like what they had, not at all so we had stayed away since then.

In the meantime, they did go to their other outlet at the shopping mall in the town centre and were quite happy with what they were served there and that was why when my girl was thinking of having sushi last Saturday, we decided to drop by here for lunch in the hope that things would be much better now. It was pretty much the same inside – nothing has changed…

…and for some reason or other, they let down all the blinds and pulled all the louvres closed so it was so very dark. I wonder why they did that so I asked one of the boys to open the louvres at the window closest to our table to let the natural sunlight in a little bit. That was why the snapshot of the chicken bento (RM16.90)…

…that my missus had did not come out too well.

The teriyaki chicken…

…was very nice and they sure were quite generous with the meat. There probably would be enough to be shared by two not-very-big eaters.

My girl had their unagi don, regular (RM19.90)…

…and I had their unagi tamago don, regular (RM21.90…

Both were great and came with this complimentary miso soup…

…but if I had known earlier, I would have had what my girl had instead of forking out the extra RM2.00 for an egg…

…that was not anything much, just an egg.

I also asked for these side orders, their inari tuna mayo (RM3.70, normal price RM4.60)…

…and their ebi tempura maki (RM7.10, normal price RM8.90)…

…that were currently a little cheaper in conjunction with our National Day celebration and we thought both were all right.

The three of us all had green tea (RM4.50) and the total came up to RM74.00 and with the 6% GST PLUS the 8% service charge, the total came up to RM84.90. Ah well! We did enjoy our lunch, not as nice as what we used to have at the since-closed-down place but it was good enough and as they say, beggars can’t be choosers.
