Sushi Zanmai @ Farenheit 88, Kuala Lumpur

After window shopping, friend recommends have lunch with Sushi Zanmai.

Since am a Sushi King regular customer, thus I’ll mark S. King as my standard.


Slightly similar with the S. King.

Using conveyor belt to move the “color code” plate with the food, they also provide sweet sauce, but added with dry chili, which S. King don’t have this.

Other than this, the chopstick and other appearance is really looks similar with the S. King.


Green tea is charged RM1.00 and refillable. The green tea is filled into a Big Cup.


Before u start to eat the sushi like lion like tiger… some information are very good for ur reference… the pricelist.

Besides that, u can enjoy set menu too.

But I prefer ala carte…so that u can choose different meal or sashimi.


Before start, prepare the sauce that we like.

30% of sweet sauce, 60% of salty sauce, 6% of Wasabi, 4% of chili powder.

The taste is great.


Start our Ala Carte food…Futomaki (太卷), RM1.80

Pickled Radish, Omelette & Cucumber.

Is better u order on the spot, for those food with seaweed, is crunchier.


Inari Kanimayo, RM4.80

Crabmeat roasted with mayonnaise

I thought its cheese on top.

Fresh feel, 1st try. Special… Never taste b4.


Jo Unagi, RM6.80

Premium roasted eel

Is thick eel, better feel when u are chewing the eel and tasty.


(Not in menu), RM3.80

I worried it might be rejected food. We checked the menu upside down, but there’s no picture in the menu, and we notice that this ala carte was only appear once. Thus, it might either rejected or not fully done. =.=”


Salmon, RM3.80

Fresh and soft.

Before it’d been served, I need to wait for more than 30minutes. I had reminded the waitress for few times and what they said is only “wait”. Is making me high temper for waiting the raw food, which is nothing special, no need cook or special preparation.

When we decided to leave, then only the waiter want to take the food served us, but really spoil the mood, although it’s nice.


Chuka Kurage, RM3.80

Seasoned Jellyfish

Fresh and crunchy seaweed; and the jellyfish are tasty and chewy too.


Overall the ingredients were fresh and well prepared. But for those food which being served with seaweed, is better u make order rather than take from the conveyor belt.

The taste is delicious and fresh, better than S. King and Sakae.

The price is slightly higher than S. King. Standard Tax would be applied, (10% Service Tax + 6% Government Tax)

The food varieties are stand at middle range.

The environment is slightly classy field, quite relaxing.

Initially the service was good and they’ll refill your green tea, but when we remind them that we still waiting for the food that we had ordered half an hour ago was not being served, they’ll only said wait without taking any initiative to tell chef. When we decided to leave, then only they’ll serve the food. What a day~!!!

Kedai Kopi & Makanan Seng Hin Cafe (成兴茶餐室) @ Penang

Again, Auntie Curry Mee @ Jalan Delima was closed, had to look for other place to settle my breakfast.

After tried so many food in Genting Café, same row with this shop, decided to search for other food.

Give a try to this café and let’s see is the food at this café nice or not.


Order Hokkien Loh

Forgot the price, but the price is reasonable with those stuffing.

Hokkien Loh is combination of Hokkien Mee soup and Loh Mee soup.

Quite special and nice compare to other Hokkien Loh in other stalls.

Slightly spicy and a bit sour taste. Open my appetite to eat more. ;-)

The soup is slightly sticky but it’s nice combination with Loh Mee and Hokkien Mee.

Recommended food if u want to try something special.


Coffee Ice (or Kopi Bing)

Is Coffee mix with milk, it’s tasty.

the sweetness is just nice.


Overall the ingredient is fresh and the soup is tasty.

The pricing is reasonable, these kind of café is no tax (Service Tax + Government Tax)

Les food variety.

The environment is slightly poor, because u’ll sitting along the roadside. Dusty, quite dangerous as well.

The service is good and friendly.

KissA Koyotei Cafe (契茶红叶亭) @ Penang

After a big sacrifice, is time to reward myself after known the result.

Thus, am going to enjoy lunch in this Cafe.

The theme of this Cafe is Japanese Cafe with ladies servant (女仆日本餐厅).

Thought they'll serve u with feeding u with the food, but anyway...Dream la...


In fact, they only serve u like normal cafe, just bring the food to ur table...Yes, eat the food by urself..

Only wearing the cutie dress, but sorry to say that, either they're cool or they're in the bad mood, am not sure why they seldom smile when they are talking to the customers.


Is a big different compare the “advertisement” Lady Servant… a bit disappointed…


Anyway back to the food, at the beginning they’ll served snack food.

Quite special compare others.

It’s made of fried egg with some carrot slice and with onion, and it’s FOC.


Besides that, it’s same like Sushi King, Green Tea is also FOC, is not like Sakae Sushi.

Or u can order other beverage if u like, but I prefer to drink Green Tea and it’s bottomless.


Sashimi Set (刺身定食), RM40.00

Appetizing small dish, 3 kind of raw fish, prawn and vegetables tempura, Chawanmushi, miso soup, fruit, and white rice.


The fish and prawns are fresh and thick size, its Salmon and Tuna.


The Vegetables Tempura is crunchy, nice and match if dip into the sauce.


Sauce with garlic


Chawanmushi is slightly late when it’s been served. It’s so hot until I have to stop few times to finish it. Anyway it’s tasty and I like it.


Fruit…Menu is display watermelon, but that day served with 2 slices of oranges. (no photo)


Miso soup is considering MSG soup, not so special.

Finally, white rice… this rice is too soft, not solid and sticky. Not sure is it import from Japan or not, but it’s not tasty like Japanese Rice.


Dessert time, enjoy 1 scoop Haagen Dazs ice cream (offer price if order with food), RM3.50

Tasty and creamy. Finger crossed… ;-)


Or u can choose other flavors too.


Image of the shop:

Just opposite the New World Park


Name Card:


The environment is nice and relaxing.

Good place to enjoy ur food.


Overall the ingredients are fresh and delicious. Fried foods are crunchy and tasty. Is recommended place if u want to eat fresh Sashimi.

The pricing is slightly stand at upper side, include 10% Service Tax and 6% Government Tax

The foods have variety of choices. Besides Sashimi, u can choose Udon or other choice. They provide alcohol too.

The environment are cozy and relaxing place. Good place for u to enjoy ur meal in relaxing mood.

The service is middle range, because the waitress are so-cool, which means they are rarely smile to the customers.

Jalan Trang (Jalan Terang) Char Koay Teow @ Penang

Initially looking for steamboat as dinner, had booked ChaYu Kafei restaurant.

But the merchant said if I want to eat Superior Broth Fish Pot Personal Steamboat Set, at least 2 persons only can be served… sigh… means I have to make another plan.

End up, have to look for food nearby or go to KFC settle my dinner.

Found few hawker stalls along the road, suppose the road stated on the road is Jalan Trang, but the Google map is Jalan Terang.


There’re few choices for dinner, all local food.

Hokkien Mee, Char Kuey Teow, Fried Rice or other delicious food and beverage.

Is just beside Gama supermarket (1 of the famous supermarket in town, because the selling items are cheaper compare with other supermarket)


This stall has making attraction to me, they fried the Char Koay Teow by using strong fire.

Sorry, this picture not really show how strong the fire. ;-)

Ohya, no stall name too. I had looking around searching for the stall name, but they only put the food name.


Char Koay Teow, RM3.50

3 middle size Prawns, Chinese Sausage (腊肠), Cockles, and Egg. Also include Koay Teow, Taugeh and Chives(韭菜).

The taste is great, not so oily, with these stuffing, the price is consider reasonable.


Ohya, the soya bean drink also nice at the next stall. But forgot to take picture...should be no different compare others.

Overall the pricing in these few stalls are reasonable, Food & Beverage along the street for sure no tax (Service Tax + Government Tax)

Food variety is slightly less, only less than 5 stalls in total.

Environment is middle range compare to other stalls along the street.

Service is Ok, not talkative or arrogant.

G. P. Soon Rojak (孫翊徒 囉也) @ Gurney Drive, Penang (Halal)

There're different types of shrimp paste and stuffing for Rojak.

Somf of the Rojak in Ipoh will add some taugeh and Kangkung.

For Penang Rojak, Ambarella (or originally called Spondias dulcis) will be added in.


In Penang, Rojak @ this stall is very famous.

As u can see, I have to on queue and lots of customers still waiting to order their “black gold”


Ditanggung Halal, Price list: RM3, 4, 5, 6, 7

And also u can customize make order, for e.g. u wan adding more or exclude any fruits/vegetables.


Just beside Gurney Drive MPPP public toilet

Is Ok, no smell although u are standing so near. ;-)


Some stall info:


If u want DIY ur own Rojak, u can purchase their shrimp paste in bottle.


Chen Hung (Famous Chef in Taiwan) had visited before, and recommend u to come


Rojak Stuffing:

Fried and Crispy You Char Kuay (油条, Chinese Donut)


Young Mango, Cucumber, Sengkuang, Pineapple, Jambu Air, and Umpala (Kedondong)


Cuttlefish


If u request little spicy, they’ll add on this chili

But if u want heavier spicy taste, they’ll add blended chili sauce


Groundnuts and Sesame seeds


Before pour the shrimp paste


And after covered with shrimp paste


Overall the ingredients are fresh because each of the fruits will be cut on the spot.

The taste is different compare the rest, the shrimp paste is nice with some honey taste.

Don’t worry, no extra charges such as Service Tax or Government Tax.

At Gurney Drive consider variety of food, lots of choices, but this Rojak Stall is only selling 1type of food only.

The environment is so-so, the good thing is clean, but the bad thing about this stall is because toilet is just beside it.

Not much conversation and serving required, but the boss is friendly to show his skill when ladies want to snap photos. ;-)
