I have been receiving smses from Nagomi Shabu-Shabu Japanese Restaurant recently regarding their buffet promotion. For only RM32.80++ an adult and RM18.80 for children age between 5 – 12 years old), each customers are given a pot of their very own soup (no sharing) and over 80 choices of shabu-shabu ingredients, sushis, sashimis and desserts.

The main highlight for Nagomi’s buffet is their unlimited salmon sashimis which are only available from 8.00pm to 9.00pm everyday. Since we are a big fan of salmon sashimis and trusting that Nagomi serves good salmon sashimi, we are overjoyed with the offer. Even though the salmon wasn’t as good as we though it would be, but we didn’t mind it as the the shabu-shabu itself was very good.

In order to make your soup tasty, just place all the seafood ingredients you can find along with some chinese cabbage, carrots and leeks just like I did. After a few minutes, your soup will turn from bland and tasteless soup to one of the most delicious soup you ever tasted. Nagomi does give really good base soup.

Nagomi serves really fresh seafood ingredients and this is evident just by looking at the pictures of these fresh prawns. Some of the other seafood they have here are red snappers, bamboo clams, clams and slipper lobsters.

I had my supper at Jogoya Japanese Restaurant, Starhill many moons ago. I didn’t blog about this place because I wasn’t too pleased with my experience at Jogoya. Our night started with a long queue, so long that it almost felt as if we were waiting to get our ICs done. But no, we were queueing to pay before we were allowed to enter the restaurant. Yes, I know that we have to pay first before dining, but the problem here is that, they opened the payment counter exactly at the time the buffet is suppose to start. For your information, the supper session starts at 9.30pm and ends at 12.00pm. We queued for almost 40 minutes before we were allowed to enter the restaurant.

And after going through the payment, we were shocked to find that there are more queues in the restaurant itself. There were queues at every single counter.

Not wanting to waste anymore time, we dropped every single clips we had on our favourite food. Sashimis are available at the sashimi counter. Here you can find all sorts of sashimis, i.e. salmons, oysters, cods, butter fish, baby octopus, and etc…

The sashimis were quite fresh. The only problem we have was that the queue for it was way too long. And to add to our frustration, we even had difficulties finding clean plates.

There are also cooked food, prepared by chefs. The situation here is better as each trays were quickly replenished to cater for their hungry customers.
