Tatsu - Japanese Ala Carte Buffet at InterContinental KL

I love Japanese food! So when I was planning for a friend's farewell dinner,  I immediately choose japanese cuisine :) :). That's partly because the friend who's leaving to the states said he wants unlimited sashimi.

I decided to give Tatsu a try, since I prefer ala carte buffet. I feel, that way our food will be served fresh. 
Tatsu is having 88 splendid dishes ala carte buffet at RM98++, available during the weekend. We did not managed to try all the dishes, but we do have repeating orders for some, especially the fresh sashimi and seafood teppanyaki.


me at Tatsu !~


Edamame 

Ebi tempura maki 

They have quite a good selection of sushi rolls, ranging from prawns, soft shell crabs, salmon and tuna to california and vegetarian roll.

chawanmushi

Dobin mushi (Clear soup in teapot)

Tuna and salmon sashimi

more salmon sashimi - look at the thick cut. satisfying!

other selection of sashimi - one of the many sashimi platters that we ordered

Scallop teppanyaki

We ordered beef , salmon, and prawn teppanyaki as well but I failed to capture a photo of it as I was busy nom'ing on other yummy food. :( my bad. The prawns were surprisingly large. :) I'll try to update some photos once I got it from my friend. 

Gindara teppanyaki (Grilled cod)

We tried their other selection of grilled dishes as well, they have grilled fishes - mackarel, salmon, cod, pacific saury, all the ones you usually order in a Japanese restaurant, most likely you'll find them in this 88 dishes buffet. They also have Japanese skewers.

Unagi yanagawa (hot pot unagi with egg)

cold soba

Hot soba, udon, garlic rice are available as well.

Tempura platter

Unagi kabayaki (grilled eel)

Apart from the dishes featured here, Tatsu do offers hand roll sushi, a range of cold and hot appetizers, sushi, many other fried dishes like Tori Karage (fried chicken) and bread crumbed fried prawns, mini Sukiyaki. 

Goma and macha ice cream (black sesame and green tea ice cream)

assorted mochi and red bean soup with rice dumpling

more ice creams.

I love most of their desserts selections! The black sesame and green tea ice cream are really smooth. We had multiple orders. :D *nom nom* However, we didn't like the mini chocolate fondue. The chocolate fondue came with skewers of fried fruits dices and was just fair.
The mochi has three flavours - sakura, green tea and red bean if I'm not mistaken. :) They were good! The red bean soup is a little too sweet for me. Instead, I requested for macha ice cream with some red bean as topping. :) Try asking the waiter for that if you like redbean coz green tea always goes well with redbean :) Yummy.

Super busy month of September

It's been a more than a month since my last post, September has been a busy month.

I have been in my Masters research for almost a year, and it's time to show some progress. The supervisor is bugging for more progress, presentations, paper submissions.. all these mean more work, more OT in school. Finally showed some work yesterday, and managed to take some time off to update my blog. Work is boring. :| Shall not talk about work. :}

I'll reveal the little project that I was doing all this while, the one I mentioned earlier here. This close friend of mine is getting married, and I took up the task to do design for the bridesmaid and groomsmen invitation cards and also their Thank you cards for the dinner reception table. Hope the guests like it :)
It was fun working with them!! So happy for them and here's to wish them a lifetime of happiness :).

Feel free to view my humble page in Facebook for these artsy projects :) -->



Details of the process

:) Almost there...

Sands Sky Park, Singapore

Here are some of the day view from the Sands Sky Park of Marina Bay Sands.

Instead of getting the ticket for the Sky Park at $20 for each adult, we went for an afternoon drink and snacks at Ku De Ta, Tower 3 Level 57. Diners are allowed into the Sky Park Observation Deck without an admission ticket.

shoe-string fries and complimentary wasabi chips

Savouring the view with light snack on a sunny afternoon

I'm sure the night view will be fantastic as well!~

Series of nom noms during my birthday

Browsed through my iphone and found some photos of my birthday which had not been posted. Since I have some time off now, I decided to post up these photos.

|photo heavy post| coming up.

Went on a few nom nom sessions with friends on the day before my birthday, on my birthday, and the day after. :)

crepe cakes at Food Foundry with the PGs

Then we had dinner at Prego, Westin KL on my birthday.

The day after my birthday, had dinner in Kampachi, Pavilion.



set meal with mackarel fish (Saba Shio set)

double sushi roll - Ebitenpura Maki (1/2) + Shake Aburi Maki (1/2)

The best part of the half half sushi is that you get to try both of it, without stuffing yourself with too much. :) Nice! *likes*

Beef teppanyaki set


*super thick cut and fresh* Salmon sashimi

I'll try to post some detailed food review about the Prego and Kampachi soon. Check back ya!~ :)
