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.

It’s a week before Christmas. Have you made any Christmas dinner plans yet? If not, may I introduce you to Maria’s Cafe, a restaurant which serves one of the best steak in town. They are popular for it’s quality premium beef steaks, namely, the Japanese Kobe, Australian Wagyu and Australian Black Angus.

If you have never tried Kobe before, you should at least try it once. I know, the price for Kobe doesn’t quite fit most of our budgets. But if you are feeling posh or just simply need to satisfy your desire to try the best steak in the world (Kobe), do try Maria’s Cafe. Alternatively, there are many other cheaper options. We tried Maria’s Cafe Australian Black Angus recently.

We ordered our Australian Black Angus medium rare with a tag price of Rm42/100gm. The difference between a Kobe with Black Angus is the marbling. Kobe has more ‘fats’ as compared to Black Angus. Therefore, Black Augus is slightly more chewy.

If you do not like beef, pastas are available here too. To be very honest, we prefer not to order pastas at all as we had had bad experiences with pastas. Most restaurants tend to give more noodles and skimp on the ingredients. However after persuaded by the lady boss herself, we ordered the Seafood Pasta. Maria’s Cafe Seafood Pastas are fully loaded with fresh seafood ingredients. That was my first impression. Fresh prawns, mussels and pieces of salmon. What a surprise. Priced at Rm24, Maria’s Seafood Pasta is just perfect. Very yummy.

Spicy New Zealand Mussels was our appetizer for the night. It was sweet and spicy at the same time. A plate of Spicy New Zealand Mussels is priced at RM16, comes with 6 fresh mussels paired up with some garlic bread.

Duck Mee is one of my favourite noodle while I was studying in Malacca. So when Vk suggested to go to Malacca for a trip, I told him that we must make a stop at Bukit Beruang for my duck mee.

Here, you may order the dry version – black “kicap” style or like us, the soup version. I personally prefer the soup version more because of it’s broth. It tastes similar to the Mamee duck flavour instant noodle, except this is much better.

The duck mee stall has moved to another coffee shop since my pre-University time. Now they are located at Chia Yean Coffee Shop and here is their GPS coordinate: N2 14.779 E102 16.489.

If you are willing to travel to find good food, you may want to travel to Bukit Rambai for cendol. I know, Bukit Rambai is not exactly near Malacca town, but I have seen people travelling all the way from Singapore and Johor to Bukit Rambai, Malacca to have Aunty Koh‘s cendol.

The queue was very long and the tables and chairs were all taken up when we arrive at Aunty Koh’s stall. So we told ourselves, this could be good.

I will be going to Hong Kong during the Raya holidays. Desserts are very popular in Hong Kong and Lucky Dessert is one of the dessert house that we had planned to visit. After knowing that Lucky Dessert had a branch in Sunway Giza Mall, we decided to make our way to Kota Damansara to try them out first. Lucky Dessert is currently having promotion meals priced at RM16.80 for 2 pax or RM8.90 for 1 person.

As we wanted to try more, we ordered our desserts ala carte. We ordered the Banana Krisp priced at RM12.00. It was crispy on the outside but soft inside. I expected this dessert to be sweet but it wasn’t. So if you like it sweeter, you may sweeted it up with the aising sugar which were carefully sprinkled on the plate so if you like it sweeter. I find this dessert pretty as it has some “snowy effect”.

Mango Roll has two small slices priced at RM6.00. Quite expensive if you ask me.

Trinity Durian Delight priced at RM10.00 is one of my favourite. This dessert is nice to be taken on a hot day. It is sweet but slightly bitter due to the bitterish taste from the durian and it is best taken cold. I would recommend you this if you are a durian lover.

Durian Wrapz was slightly bitter too. If it was sweeter, I would have like it better. I find it too bitter for it to be a dessert. Desserts are suppose to be sweet, right?
