Recently, hubby & I dining out less frequent as we previously did. Besides the economic reasons, I'm opting for more healthy home cooked meal. I'm currently in the progress of touching up some precious knowledge in nutrition. :) I found it very interesting.
Ok, back to the topic. This is another back-dated post, which was pending since last August. We dropped by Tao for an enjoyable dinner on our way back from SP. We didn't call for reservation, but we were lucky to get a table on the crowded Saturday night.
Tao is a place serving Japanese food buffet style, where you pay a fee to taste all the food that the menu's got to offer. There's no limit to the number of orders that you make. The only limiting factor is the time. :)
Mitoyaki Scallop. We love this very very much. The sweet, sour & slightly spicy sauce is really appetizing. We couldn't stop ourselves to place 2nd and 3rd order. :)
Tako Sunomono. Squid is always my favorite whenever visiting a Japanese restaurant.
Abalone slices in Mayonese.Taste is so so, not sure why they put the colorful bits there.
Teppan Smoked Duck Breast.
Grilled Salmon. Taste good but real small portion. If you are a fish eater you'd like to order more of these.
Golden Fried Dumplings. Nothing special on this.
Kushiyaki...some sort like seafood satay.
Miso Soup, I was wondering why hubby want opt for this. ?? :P Simple miso soup with Japanese taufu and some vege. Taste more like ajinomoto soup.
Tofu...deep fried tofu, but very smooth inside.
Taiwanese Mantis Prawn. It looks so so only, but it's a great finger food.
Tempura Shrimp & Vege. Hubby will not miss to opt for tempura. His favorite dish.
Unlimited order for the first hour. If you still not full, you can go for sushi and fruits.
Buffet dinner for 2 cost at RM110.40, inclusive of 10% service charge and 5% government tax. A little too expensive huh?
If go in a gang then you can get the chance to taste a lot more dishes, then only will feel like "hmm...worth loh!" :)
ReplyDeleteI just had Japanese buffet too....:)
ReplyDeletetrue what Cariso said. if going in a larger group, you can sample more stuff from the menu, hence feeling satisfied after the meal. :)
ReplyDeleteworthy ma ...
If the food quality is good, then it is worth the $$. But I am not a fan of buffet as I had bad experience of throwing out. :(
ReplyDeletei like it scallop 2 ^^
ReplyDeleteCariso & J2kfm, also we don't take Sashimi, not worth haha...
ReplyDeletemimid3vils, oh izzit? Will drop by your post to figure out if you've posted it.
Food For Tots, oh, sounds bad. I don't usually go for buffet, cuz I can't take much food.
Faye fly, hi you're new here. Welcome. Yes, the scallop is really good. Just the size is quite small.
suprisingly there is no sushi???
ReplyDeleteSimple Girl, got sushi, just the common sushi, so I didn't take photo.
ReplyDeleteOMG, you make me crazy! I want Jap food. *Geram*
ReplyDeleteCannot tahan d...
Allie, this was a back dated post already. Now I also longed for visiting this place again.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds a lil bit expensive for two person.
ReplyDeleteJason, it was few months ago. Now thinking of the price have to think twice lo.
ReplyDeleteGoing by the name thot it's a Chinese restaurant. =P
ReplyDeleteOh...Misunderstanding lah, Tummythoz.
ReplyDeletei went there before...i think is this year end when i go bac penang...the food are not bad...
ReplyDeleteJapanese buffet usually expensive. But if I got time it is great provided the food matches my enthusiasm in its quality.
ReplyDeleteSquall, yes, a lot of variety there.
ReplyDeleteWorld Windows, but this one got time limited for unllimited order. Also, one's stomach got limited capacity.
lots of ppl have tried and blogged about this buffet, but I have yet to try it :(
ReplyDeleteif the food quality is good, then I guess the price is rectified.
But one hour is quite a rush isn't it...considering it's buffet sytle :P
I prefer to slowly eat and enjoy when having buffet *lol*
buzingbee, after one hour, you still can enjoy other sushi stuff, and fruits.
