Bye Saboten One Utama

Tonkatsu Loin with Grated Radish set with refillable soup, rice and shredded cabbage at MYR 30.50++ (10% service charge and 6% SST = MYR 32.38 nett). Tasty but the loin has a strip of solid fat at one end.

Tonkatsu Tenderloin set at MYR 31.90++ (MYR 37 nett). I prefer this because it is all lean meat with no fatty parts.

Two pieces of tenderloin with 2 prawns at MYR 37.90++ (MYR 43.96 nett). The prawns are fresh and tasty.

The piece at the left is tenderloin. you can see that the meat is less dense. The two pieces of loin on the right have a section of solid fat as can be seen in the photo. We are not aware that there is a small container of mustard on the table so we miss out. The tonkatsu would be super delicious  with a bit of mustard on the loin.

Refillable shredded raw cabbage with sesame seeds that we have to grind and then add the sauce provided on the table to it.

Drinks that are included in the sets and a serving of yuzu sorbet at MYR 4.90++ (MYR 5.68 nett).

Total bill is MYR 159.05 nett for 4 sets and one sorbet.

Saboten, One Utama. My friend ate at one of  the Tokyo branch in Japan and she highly recommends this eatery to me but sad to say that they are closing very soon as announced by the notice below.

It will be closed for good on 8 Sep 2019 after being here for only about  one month and one year. I wonder why.

  6. I've never stepped in! Most of the time looks empty which didn't attract me to go in.

    1. I think there is only this shop but they want to make sure everyone knows that they are not relocating but leaving for good.
