Shabu Shabu Buffet City is a Japanese steamboat restaurant. Opened in Bandar Puteri, Puchong, this restaurant offers not only ala-carte Japanese cuisines but also an all you can eat Japanese steamboat buffet.

I got to say, Shabu Shabu Buffet City offers one of the cheapest buffets around at only less than RM30.00 per person. Well, of course, here you won’t get the awesome service and food choices like other Japanese buffet restaurants like Tenji or Kampachi, but only a decent choices of ingredients. All you need to do, is just pay at the counter at the lower floor and take yourself up on the lift to enjoy your “shabu shabu”.

Hotel Nikko…

Now is the time again for us to attend Annual Dinners organised by the employers for the staffs. I am pretty sure there is many more dinners to come as we’re approaching the end of this millennium 2009 and welcome the new year 2010. I had recently attended a dinner at Nikko Hotel located at Jalan Ampang just a heartbeat away from the landmark of Kuala Lumpur City Centre (KLCC) and the Petronas Twin Towers, two of the world’s tallest buildings.

Name :- Hotel Nikko Kuala Lumpur
Address :- 165, Jalan Ampang, 50450 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Phone No :- (603) 2161 1111
Website :- http://www.hotelnikko.com.my/

This is the entrance ticket and I got this not so lucky number 0426 that did not win me anything. In every event, there is bound to be a theme for it. The theme for the evening was “Wild Wild West Night”. As the name goes, you can imagine the selective ranges of costumes people would think of to wear for the evening.

Japanese buffet is quite popular among Malaysians. Munakata Ramen at Jalan Yap Kwan Seng recently offers an unlimited ala carte Japanese buffet dinner promotion. The Japanese buffet promotion is priced at RM60+ for an adult and RM35+ for a young person aged 4 to 10 years old.

Salmon Sashimi aka fresh sliced salmon is the most appealing dish in the menu. Well, I have to admit that I love rare salmon. Just dip it with some wasabi soaked with soya sauce and pop it into your mouth. Slowly taste the freshness of the fish inside your mouth.

Thailand based Bar-B-Q Plaza Restaurant currently ranks first in my list of good barbeque cum steamboat style food. Not only their food is good, their advertisement is too. Just look out for their video advertisement they show on the television placed just outside of their outlets.

Their menu is actually quite simple. It is the usual stuffs that we can get in any other barbeque plus steamboat restaurant. The specialty here is their sauce.

The brown sauce has a “peanuty” taste. It is quite similar to satay sauce, but at the same time it is not a satay sauce. The sauce is served alongside with lots of chili padis, chopped garlics and half a piece of lemonade. Do feel free to add the sauce if you need more. I alone refilled my sauce 3 times!

Shah Alam’s Ramadhan Food Market is the largest Ramadhan food market I have ever been to and if I am not wrong, it is the largest in Malaysia. Correct me if I am wrong. Haha! This is an alternative choice if you are looking for good and cheap or I would say affordable Malay food other than fancy Ramadhan buffets. Ayam Golek. You can either have the chickens roasted using charcoal or gas. I assume that charcoal roasted chickens taste better compared to those using gas. However, as most parts of the chicken were burned, we decided to try the ones roasted using gas. They look sooo much better. One bird cost RM15 and half a bird is RM8. You will get RM1 discount for taking the whole bird. Read the rest of this entry »
