Beef Tataki

From the previous visit to Rakuzen at the Starling Mall, we have a MYR10 voucher to be used so we went there again. This time we ordered a Saba lunch set (lightly grilled with salt) for MYR 29 nett and a piece of salmon also lightly grilled with salt from the ala carte menu for MYR 26 nett. 

Beef Tataki - MYR 17 nett. I found this explanation from the internet: "Beef tataki refers to a Japanese method of preparing fillet beef, where the meat is lightly seared, marinated, sliced thinly similar to sashimi, and served with a citrus-soy dipping sauce". From wiki, tataki (たたき) means "pounded" or "hit into pieces". 

The beef fillet in this dish is sliced very thinly and very lightly seared so it may appear to be medium rare so if one wants to eat beef that is cooked thoroughly to well done then stay clear of this dish. I find this dish very flavourful due to it being served in the citrus soy sauce.

I also ordered the Salad Roll that I had before in Kura, One World Hotel at the same price of MYR 13 nett because I like to eat avocado.

Total bill is MYR 85 nett for 4 food items and with the MYR 10 voucher, we paid MYR 75 nett.

After our lunch at Rakuzen, we walked out from Starling Mall to Tsujiri, Uptown because they are having a promotion of 30% discount for all desserts except for soft serve ice cream cones. We ordered the Chiffon Parfait O-Matcha at MYR 15.94 nett and Signature Uji-Kintoki at MYR 14.06 nett to share. These two cups of desserts are just as tasty as before.

With 30% off, we only need to pay MYR 21 nett from our total bill of MYR 30 nett so this is a very good deal. Too bad this promotion has ended on 31 July 2018.

  1. I want that desserts! and the avocado rolls.

    Avocado rolls look like not a common item in SG's sushi menu.
