Creamy Smoky Salmon Udon

This dish is creamy but not cloying at all due to the smoky taste from the smoked salmon slices. I will have this dish again at Nana Green Tea from their lunch set menu - MYR21.90 nett for a main dish and drink.

Beef Sukiyaki Udon - MYR21.90 nett from the same lunch menu. The broth is slightly on the sweet side and there is a poached egg with runny yolk floating in the broth above - can you spot it?

The drinks that we chose from the lunch set menu - a glass of Azuki (Red Bean) Latte - very sweet and milky and a teapot of hot Karigane-Cha (green twig tea from stems and stalks of green tea plants).

MYR21.90 nett for a main dish and a drink from the lunch set menu (price in 2015). I hope they would not increase their prices for this new year as I found out that for 2016, a bowl of pan mee at a local coffee shop has increased its price by 50 cents from MYR5.50 to MYR6 (9%) and a cup of coffee has gone up from RM1.60 to RM1.70 (6%) . I hope come Chinese New Year, they don't increase the price again.

  1. many places has already quietly increased their price, i think it's inevitable due to the ever increasing cost as well as weaken currency.. but the thing i am concern about it, by how much they increase the price.. we surely do not hope to see anything like our tolls and LRT, agree??

    1. I am shocked that the lrt prices can be doubled. Don't think noodles can double their prices cos no one will eat there then.

  2. The price of everything is increasing like crazy. For every single item we are being taxed 6%. We, the consumers are the greatest losers!

  3. I love what you just had. Both are yums!

    Last weekend I headed to Sukiya to have the buffet steamboat with unlimited fillings of sliced chicken, beef and lamb plus plenty of ingredients in my Sukiyaki soup. They also have sushi and Japanese vending ice cream. All for RM30 something per head. Burp!

  4. Hmm, very difficult to say, they always take it as granted to increase price during Chinese New Year

    1. Smoked salmon gives the creamy sauce a tasty smoky which is very nice.

  8. My girl went to one with the mum when we were there last - said it was good, dunno which one they went to - if this wasn't the one. I bet she would love this too - she's so into Japanese (and Korean too) and salmon!

  11. No, they won't increase prices again after CNY if they've done it on 1 Jan already. Though they may increase prices during the festive period...not permanently. If they increase prices twice, that's the signal for us to stop patronising the place! >:(

  12. I would prefer the Beef Sukiyaki Udon because I don't like creamy pasta. But I do love smoked salmon :)
