What drew me to Sushi King this time was their Mix and Match menu — designed to be shared between 2 to 3 people, with an affordable price tag to match. 

I picked Ten Don, Spicy Teri Tama Don, and Chicken Nanban Don, and shared with Mr Hubby. It was a satisfying spread with variety to keep things interesting.

Each rice bowl had its own character —
🍤 Ten Don came with assorted tempura on rice,
🌶️ Spicy Teri Tama Don brought a nice kick with its spicy sauce and egg combo, and
🍗 Chicken Nanban Don was deep fried karaage topped with creamy tartar.

However, they used to offer a MYR2 add-on for miso soup with the sets, but during our last weekend dine-in, that option was no longer available. 

Mr Hubby was pretty disappointed. I tried to make up for him by ordering a Kinoko Soup and Yasai Tempura, but both turned out to be a absolute letdown.

The soup took ages to arrive and looked nothing like what was shown. The cabbage was undercooked, and overall it lacked of flavour and visual unappealable as well. 

As for the Yasai Tempura, it felt like more mushrooms, thick-cut lotus root, and a couple of peas. The batter was lumpy and soggy, making the texture unappetizing.

The only dish that was served hot was the soup, other dishes were thick and soggy batter also arrived nearly cold. That really killed the joy of dining in.

Kthxbye. 

💸 I Paid For Deep Fried Dissapointment 🍱

A1 Chicken Rice is doing a Scratch & Win promo until end of July—spend RM30 and above, and you might walk away with a little something extra. 

I scratched and I won myself a free plate of 6 spring rolls! Crunchy fried blessing from the Chicken God, smirk~ My wallet and stomach laughed from within. 

I ordered the steamed drumstick chicken value set with lettuce and oyster sauce (a.k.a. my version of healthy), plus a calamansi juice to balance my palete. 

Anyhow, I ordered for Mr Hubby the deep-fried garlic roasted chicken that came with special sauce—basically, vampire repellent but make it delicious.

Lala, the adorable food-delivery robot! It rolled over like a chicken-scented R2-D2. Efficient staff, tasty food, and robots? It’s like dining in the future but with soy sauce. 

Kthxbye. 

🥳 Scratch, Win & Chicken Begin 🐔 

This has become my regular breakfast or lunch stop before heading to work. 

My usual order? The bitter gourd soup with rice noodles—comforting, flavorful, and always satisfying. I never skip the pig tendon—my all-time favourite. The portion size is generous, and for the price, it’s definitely a great deal.

Sometimes I’ll add on a stuffed bean curd roll or braised pork ribs for variety, which pairs well with the soup. Nonetheless, they also offer a good selection of dim sum—tasty, varied, and reasonably priced.

I’ve tried several of their soup bases including tom yum, tomato with milk, seaweed, sweet leaf with egg and curry, but I keep coming back to the bitter gourd soup. It’s hearty, fresh and hits the spot every time. 

Same goes to Mr Hubby, he is loyal to one thing here—the curry soup with Tuaran noodles and mixed pork (picture 4). The curry is fragrance with hint of spicy and creamy aftertaste, that’s how he likes it! 

They’ve extended their hours into the evening, though do take note—they’re sometimes closed on Mondays.

Kthxbye. 

🍜 TENDON-ly Yours, Always 🐷 

One of the food stalls here draws a loyal crowd daily — all for their signature fish noodle. It’s so popular that I’ve to come here as early as 6am just to get the fresh fish slices, which are in limited supply. If you come any later, you’ll get the deep-fried version instead.

During my previous visit, I tried their asam kari with handmade noodles, which was impressive — tangy, spicy, and full of depth. This round, I switched it up with rice noodles. The wait was long, since there’s only one chef manning the stove and another person taking orders.

Despite the wait, the reward is well worth it. The soup is thick, bold, and bursting with flavour — perfectly balancing sourness and spicy. It’s the kind of comforting bowl that keeps you coming back, even if it means sacrificing a bit of sleep.

Kthxbye. 

🐟Of-FISH-cially 6️⃣am Ritual 🍜 

A colleague of mine was highly recommended this Japanese restaurant for dinner, and I must say, the location itself was quite charming—tucked inside a local marine museum and just steps away from the beach. 

The ambience at night was lively and cozy, with a dimly lit setting that gave it a nice buzz. It was fully packed during that night, but we were fortunate to secure a private space for our group of eight.

I ordered the Chirashi Don, which visually matched the photo on the menu, unfortunately, the portion left much to be desired. The maguro slices were halved rather than full, which felt a bit misleading and disappointing. 

On the upside, the rice was well-seasoned and the taste was decent. However, for the portion served, the price felt steep—definitely leaning onto the higher end. My colleague were enjoyed their dinner bento set. 

In summary, while the atmosphere and setting were lovely for a group dinner or reunion, I wish the dish offered in the future would be better value, worth the price and consistency with what was advertised.

Kthxbye. 

❌Chirashi-DON’T 🍱

Although this place/car wash/food court might not look the most appealing from the outside, anyhow the food quality was beyond our expectations — clean, flavourful, and most importantly, hygienic.

The lady boss was polite and patient, even taking the time to repeat the dish names when I couldn’t catch them the first time. Her attentiveness really stood out. She even suggested some of their signature dishes. 

I ordered…
3 weird taste fried fish fillets with shredded mangoes 
fish maw soup 
stir fried Chinese lettuce with fermented bean curd
buttermilk chicken 

My personal favourite was the fish maw soup — colourful with vibrant shredded vegetables and balanced flavour. My colleague enjoyed the fish dish, saying it had a unique taste they didn’t expect. Reasonable price as well. 

Kthxbye. 

🍲 MAW-velous Late Lunch🍴

This was my second visit since they relocated, and I just found out they now serve a no-pork menu. I didn’t realize it until the owner—who’s also the chef—personally told me that the current menu focuses solely on chicken. 

He’s clearly put a lot of effort into perfecting the taste and texture through hands-on experience, and I must say, it’s impressively close to what I remembered from his previous menu with pork dishes. Truly blew my mind.

They’ve also introduced sugar cane drinks with various flavours. I tried the pandan and passion fruit options—both had a strong sugar cane profile, not overwhelmingly sweet and were so refreshing especially after meal. 

As always, my favourite is the minced meat rice topped with a sunny side up egg (but this time was overcooked, no oozy egg yolk but crispy end). Mr. Hubby is big fan of their signature spicy mixed flat noodle. 

Kthxbye. 

🐔 Winner Winner CHICKEN Dinner 🍜 

I’m absolutely obsessed with my manicure of the month! After going for colorful nail bases in the past, I decided I wanted nude colour, and this shade turned out subtly. The base color blends seamlessly with my natural nails tone, giving such an elegant and effortless look.

This time, I asked Grace for porcelain-inspired nails art on certain fingers only, and she nailed it! The details are so delicate and refined. On top of that, she added a beautiful calligraphy letter ‘D’ on my left ring finger — it’s such a meaningful and personal touch.

My friends couldn’t stop complimenting how soft and graceful the colour looks, saying it gave me an overall gentle vibe. And here’s the coolest part: Grace styled her own right-hand nails (pic 8) like dragon claws with metallic elements— they looked so striking and powerful. 

I might consider that my next nails project, smirk~ I am always highly recommend Grace’s artistry — she always brings my ideas and suggestions to life with skill and creativity. Check out their instagram illimite studio for announcements and promotions! 

Kthxbye. 

💅🏻 Porcelain Vibes With A Nude Twist🏺指尖上的青花瓷 💙🤍

I’ve buying their salmon sushi from Pick n Pay regularly and I found it better than average and fresh, so I decided to visit their restaurant to explore more of their menu. 

I had tried their food a few years back then and I thought it was just okay, anyhow my recent dine-in experience completely changed my perception…

I ordered their signature Buta Kaku Ni — Kyushu-style braised organic pork with savoury sweet soy sauce and served with steamed white rice, it was mind-blowing!

The pork was incredibly tender and beautifully caramelised. The lard melted effortlessly in my mouth. The buttery aftertaste lingered on my palate heavenly.

To satisfy my sushi cravings, I also had a plate from their special aburi mentaiko series — salmon, maguro, tako, ika, and ebi. It was nicely torched, creamy and hit the spot.

Mr Hubby went for the Ninniku Yaki Meshi, garlic fried rice. The subtle burnt taste combined with the rich flavour of fried garlic made it incredibly satisfying.

Unfortunately, the ramen series with braised pork wasn’t available during our visit, however that just gives me a reason to return. Definitely looking forward to it!

Kthxbye. 

🐷 May LARD Have Mercy & It Was ABURI-licious 🍣 

This pork eatery introduced a new series of dishes featuring rice, omelette, and a choice of pork or non-pork proteins — and it definitely piqued my interest. 

I originally wanted the roasted pork, but unfortunately it was already sold out by the time I arrived, so I switched to BBQ pork instead. I’m coming back for that next time! 

The dish came with a side of soup and their housemade chilli. Not only it was superb spicy but also carried a smoky aroma that lingered pleasantly in the mouth. 

I appreciated the presentation too. The food was served in a classic rooster bowl, giving it that comforting, home-cooked vibe despite its simplicity. 

The BBQ pork was a mix of fatty and lean cuts, though a bit on the tougher side. The omelette was fluffy and well-cooked, and while the rice was fairly standard. 

Mr Hubby ordered the beef wat tan hor (no picture), and I had a taste of the gravy — they seasoned it with sesame oil, which added a unique twist I hadn’t think of. 

He really enjoyed his dish, especially the chilli — he liked it so much he asked for a second times. All in all, it’s a satisfying spot worth checking out and service improved. 

Kthxbye. 

🐷 EGG-quisite PORK-formance 🍳Oink Oink 

This time, I decided to go with a stiletto nail shape, painted in a clean white base with delicate hand-drawn flowers and a touch of gold at the tips. I LOVE how the stiletto style gives my fingers longer look and cat’s vibe!

I can’t help but admire the intricate floral details that Grace painted on it. Each nail features a different bloom—from roses, lavender, daisies, to lily of the valley and more—so charming and meticulously done.

Kthxbye. 

💅🏻 Spring At My Fingertips - Dainty & Deadly 🌷

I’m absolutely over the moon that they’ve started operating again after their brief closure for the Hari Raya festival! I miss them so badly! 

This has always been my hands down go-to spot for the crispiest banana fritters, topped generously with that addictive cheese l~e~l~e~h~

There’s been a slight price increase on their menu though—my usual full plate of 8 pieces is now MYR11—but honestly, it’s still so worth it. 

Most of the times, I ordered another MYR2 portion and shared with Mr. Hubby, but when the cravings hit hard, I don’t hold back.

I noticed a new face, he’s now handling the cooking solo. Despite being constantly swamped with orders, they’re doing a great job keeping the quality intact.

I got my cravings satisfied, and amen to that!

Kthxbye.
