Today Special - Sea Urchin (Uni Gunkan Maki) 2 pieces - MYR45 (MYR47.7 after GST) served with pickled ginger slices and wasabi.
Top view. Uni is the gonads of Sea Urchin known commonly as Sea Urchin's Roe. It is rich, creamy and tastes like the sea (sea brine taste).
Salmon and Avocado Roll - MYR16.50 (MYR17.50 after GST)
Now you can see the salmon slice and a bit of avocado
This is the picture on the screen when we placed the order
We thought this was not our order because as you can see from the photo below, it looked nothing like what was shown on the screen. Grilled Salmon Roll - MYR19.50 (MYR20.7 after GST). They went overboard with the mentaiko. I did not like the abundance of mayonnaise and soy sauce (I think it was soy sauce) on this roll - too sweet and too salty for my liking.
Does this look like what was served to us?
Dragon Roll - - MYR19.50 (MYR20.7 after GST). There are 6 pieces in total, the photo above shows only 4 as we have eaten 2.
This roll has cucumber, egg, cream cheese and eel
Front view showing the cream cheese and egg. The cream cheese was very rich and it overpowered the taste of eel and egg so I do not think it is a good combination as their taste does not complement each other.
Ichiro Sushi Bar. Ma Maison is right at the end of this corridor.
There is no service charge - very good!
The 25% off seals the deal for us
With MYR25.12 off, the total bill came up to MYR79.90 only for 3 pax. One person was missing because he went to eat Menya Musashi Ramen which was also having 25% off all Ramen on their menu. Thus our eating spree ended for Mother's Day.
Oooo I would so go for the UNI at 25% off.
ReplyDeleteI remember you eating a whole tray of UNI at one Japanese restaurant.
DeleteI am hungry, can I have some please
ReplyDeleteYes you may of course!
DeleteSushi my favourite
ReplyDeleteMine too.
DeleteI have never tried Uni Maki before, must try one of these days, be more adventurous
ReplyDeleteYes, be more adventurous if you prefer. :)
DeleteI don't like the taste of eel
ReplyDeleteI thought eel tastes just like any other fish?
DeleteNope, eel tastes fishy
DeleteFresh eel by right does not taste fishy.
DeleteSounds good for a quick meal. I wonder how they make their customers leave after an hour though!
ReplyDeleteI wonder too. We left before an hour is up.
DeleteIsetan? Had the sushi from the one in KL before, Lot 10. For a while I thought you were going to blog about your university life. LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteIt has been a long time I last visited Isetan in Lot 10. Uni is the short form for university so you are not wrong there. LOL!
DeleteWow! I dont mind this at all. I love sushi. That salmon and avocado is a surprise. Haha.
ReplyDeleteGood that you love to eat sushi. You mean the dragon roll?
DeleteI've always wantedm to try sea urchin, but til today, never got a chance.. Only see before in TV and food channels.. Looks very creamy and rich, I wonder how it taste like..
ReplyDeleteTaste like the sea. :)
Deleteah so you went next door to continue your Mother's Day feast, how convenient, haha!! hmm the picture on the menu looks a lot nicer, but the real thing wasn't too big a difference though I would say the rice wasn't nicely gripped.. one guy left the team and went to have ramen?? is he the same guy you blogged earlier who always do that?? haha..
ReplyDeleteYes! You have a good memory, hahaha.
Delete25% off, but you get 4 instead of 6 pcs, that is 33% less. Although the real things seem to be done more elaborately than the screenshots. Hmm...
ReplyDeleteThey did serve us 6 pcs and we ate 2 pieces before taking that photo so they didn't deceive the customers. I think you read too fast and miss the part where I wrote we ate 2 pcs already.
Deletesounds like a good place to eat .
ReplyDeleteNot too bad.
DeleteThere's one thing I've not tried and that's uni...can't bring myself to order it coz it's so bloody expensive...one bite and it's all gone! :'( Although I love discounts, sometimes I'm weary of places giving discounts (especially Japanese eateries) for fear they might substitute it with more inferior ingredients. For example, that salmon roll, they can overload it with sauces until you can't taste the freshness of the salmon. And the dragon roll looked nothing like the picture, the unagi looked more like the end pieces of the eel. Of course, this may not be the case (if everything tasted great) but I did experienced it before. Presentation wise, I think maybe a trainee sushi chef was in attendance....kekeke...the rice is so loose! :D
ReplyDeleteThis one is giving genuine discounts because I have eaten here before and the food is like this.
DeleteFor a really fresh uni, best go to Japan and eat it from its shell, really fresh!
I went here before, not bad...
ReplyDeleteSo you agree too!
DeleteI am very curios about the sea urchin. Have seen it being eaten on TV but never tried yet.
ReplyDeleteGo Japan and eat the really fresh ones there. They will open the sea urchin on the spot and let you eat.
DeleteSounds interesting! Wish I could Urchin as well!
ReplyDeleteYou can eat it in NYC! :D
DeleteAll those food look so yummy..
ReplyDeleteNot bad, not bad. :)
