So, mom decided to go to Paradigm Mall to watch a boxing event and a movie after. After some walking about with my bro and sis, we decided to go for Suki-Ya. It's is our first time there as the other Suki-Ya we went to is at Pavilion.



It's pretty much a eat-as-much-as-you-can Japanese steamboat buffet which costs you about RM29.80 for lunch and RM39.80 for dinner. As for children below 12, they get 50% off. Of course, the grace period is 2 hours, which means your time limit is 2 hours.
Mom wasn't hungry so it was just me and my siblings. Well, they're both below 12 so.. it wasn't TOO expensive. A little maybe? They don't eat much though.



The choices are a bit limited but still, there are carrots, noodles, mushrooms, raddish, udon, seafood tofu, cheese sausages and tofu, glass noodles and so on. It's basically what you can find in a steamboat dinner.

There are also sushi available at the counter. They come and go fast, mind you.





On my first round.



There are four soup bases: miso, kimuchi, sukiyaki and shabu-shabu. We took sukiyaki and kimuchi, which is the spicy one. Sukiyaki is the more famous soup base. I was craving for a little spiciness, hence the kimuchi base. You'll be able to choose two soup bases for each pot.
Miso is a like the normal miso soup and shabu-shabu is more like clear soup. The best is still sukiyaki.



Also, you can also get free flow meat. Choose from either chicken, beef or mutton. You'll get to order two different meats and ask the waiters for more later on. Hot or iced green tea is also free flow.

The thinly sliced meat is quite good as it is pretty much soft and scrumptious.
For those who don't know how to differentiate between raw and cooked meat.. After the meat is cooked, it'll turn into another shade of colour so once you see the colour has changed, it is ready to be eaten. By the way, beef cooks faster than chicken and mutton.



At Suki-Ya, they allow you to mix your own sauces. There are a variety of ingredients for you to make them.  They also have premixed sauces if you are lazy (like me).
If you want to dip the meat into a raw egg, feel welcomed to do so. The beaten raw egg helps reduce the heat and also adds an egg-ish taste. Well, how should I put it? .-. not salty, not sweet, not tasteless? Hmm, what about something like breaded chicken?

Anyway, a small reminder.. there's a H7N9 virus going about recently so to be on the safe side, stay away from raw eggs. You can cook it for a while before making it into a dip.



Le me thinking about the laws of the universe and life.. uh, not.

Mom and siblings.





Ice-cream for dessert! Enthusiastic like a little 4-year-old, I took quite a lot of ice-cream but was it was VERY disappointing. The green tea ice-cream doesnt have much green tea taste and neither did the yam ice-cream.
Oh well, my mistake. Lesson learnt.



If you're wondering about the ambiance there, they have good service and nice seats. The waiters and waitresses are OK, perhaps a little deaf to my words? But still, they'll help you with your meal if you asked for them.
Last but not least, if you want to make a reservation, visit Suki-Ya's official site for the branch's phone number.

So guess that's all for now. See you guys soon!

Went for a facial session on Sunday at Sunway Giza. And I lost a bet. So... to D' Italiane Kitchen it is.
Okay, this wasn't my first visit to the place as I fell in love with it since I was, what, 14?

I know some people have been giving negative comments on this contemporary Italian fine dining restaurant but perhaps the stuff I ordered were better? Or different chefs? Or it had improved over time?
I've visited this restaurant for a couple of times over the years but so far, so good. It was quite nice for me.



Played a while with the cutlery and place mats before our orders arrived..



There were only four of us and it included my brother who's just 8 and doesn't eat much, so we didn't order what we can't finish.



First up, appetizers!
Mozzarella in carozza - Mozzarella between panini, served with roma tomato sauce. Darn, it was awesome! Crispy, cheesy, lovely. Also, the tomato sauce gave it a not-so-dry kind of feeling so you won't end up with a parched throat. It's not too cheesy either, quite acceptable. We loved it.



And here comes our main courses.
Salmon alfredo, which is of course, salmon alfredo. You don't say?
Well, to be more specific, salmon in alfredo sauce, which is a sauce made of Parmesan cheese, garlic, butter, parsley and so on.. Google the recipe up if you're interested.

I'm a salmon lover and I'm happy with the salmon. The fettuccine was just the right taste and you won't feel too full even though you finished the whole plate. It is creamy but it isn't enough to make you feel bloated.



Guess what is it?



It's actually something related to a pizza called calzone. We were hesitating on which other main course to order and I saw a picture of this on the menu so why not have a try? I wasn't aware that the pizza had the shape of a curry puff.  We got quite a surprise there.

The calzone is filled with eggs, turkey ham, caramelised onions, button mushrooms and stuff. It was something new for us and I have to say it tastes quite good too. It also comes with roma tomato sauce. Spreading it on the calzone is not-so-recommended as I tried it. It tastes better without the sauce but you can dip it into the sauce if you want to.



Lastly, for dessert, sticky toffee pudding.

It's pretty much a moist sponge cake covered in toffee sauce, topped with a gelato, which is Italian ice-cream. (actually, it's more or less the same as the ice-cream here, just a little smoother)
Hmmm... Can I say insufficient ice-cream? You see, the cake is warm and is best served with ice-cream but the we could only manage small scoops of ice-cream with huge chunks of cake. Not exactly HUGE but.. you get the point. It'll be better if the scoop of ice-cream is larger. :D other than that, the dessert was lovely.
me likey ice-cream :P



The service was great. Our waiter had an accent which strangely sounded Italian? hahaha. Maybe not.
The staff were pretty helpful and the environment was enjoyable too.
Price-wise... this isn't exactly fine dining but the food and ambience came at a price too. The bill was somewhere around RM120, which is more or less the average dining restaurant.





And here's a random picture of mine after the facial, which is totally irrelevant to the post above but I would like to apologize for not blogging frequently nowadays. I have some data entry work to do and well, it became one of my sources of income. I'll be done with it soon and hope to get back to blogging within these two weeks.
Bye for now! :P
