Angry seeking lobster in a tank during Benkay. Fresh lobster Teppanyaki is accessible from their a la carte menu.My quest for a great grill that serves great Japanese Food contend me trotting off to Benkay. The aberrant proliferation of Japanese Restaurants in KL like a great Catholic that does not believe in family planning has led to a abominable condition where there is an over abundance of restaurants with really small quality. Some of a Japanese Restaurants have been owned by large chains that contribute to a blurring of boundaries between a restaurants, all of that serves to attempt some form of alloy food. Food that attempts to stroke as well most senses during one go as well as ends up miserably upon a road to gastronomic perdition. The menu is mostly frightfully overwrought with misconceived notions of what Fusion Japanese cuisine should be as well as churns out something quite identical to Gozilla using amok in New York, clueless as well as working with rage, that is flattering tighten to what we feel as well after a bad Japanese meal. And we have not even started to speak about Kaiseki yet.
SaladThe interior of Benkay is organic as well as elementary with lots of wood formed furniture as well as bright windows. Unfortunately a Restaurant attracts a new multiply of lunch crowd diners whose idea of a civil conversation involves shouting across a table as well as into their mobile phones. Be prepared for an auditory attack whilst dining here.
California RollThe elementary as well as organic taste is reflected in their lunch menu, that is devoid of any preten! sions as well. Their salad was restrained, only pieces of fresh vegetable as well as corn showered with Shoyu Vinaigrette. The California palm hurl that came with my set was mercifully devoid of a horrible Kewpie Mayonnaise that we mostly complain about. The Sunomono showed as well most restraint with a old wine as well as was easily sweet, a minor censure that has zero to do with a skill of a chef, though personal taste.
SunomonoThe Chawan Mushi was ideally smooth as well as surfaced with Ginko besides a usual Mushroom. we systematic a Udon Set, as well as was served with beautifully textured Udon noodles in a Konbu formed soup with a usual condiments of kakiage, wakame as well as scallions. There is something about comfortable as well as polished done broth as well as a great dining companion that acts as a calming cure-all for dreaming souls. The Udon worked it's sorcery during lunch.
SushiMy Dining companion had a Sliced Beef as well as Vegetable hot pot set, that was additionally similar, though came but a Hand Rolled Sushi that was substituted with rice.
Sliced Beef as well as Vege Hot PotActually. Mondays have been not a great day to visit Japanese Restaurants in KL. Fishes have been replenished upon Tuesdays as well as Fridays. We cautiously avoided a Sashimi Fish Nigiris as well as fell behind upon to Tako as well as Ebi Sushi that only confirmed a suspicion. The mutation was slightly off, only squirmingly so, though not to a point of being offensive.
Chawan MushiTheir choices for dessert is rather limited. We had both a Green Tea as well as Black Sesame ice thickk cream that seems to be a simple nonetheless tedious tack for Japanese Restaurant Desserts in KL.
Ebi SushiNo massacres, no mayo as well as no cheese. Not dazzling, though only great old solid Japanese Food that some people competence tenure comfort food. It doesn't come cheap. Lunch for 2, i.e. 2 sets as well as 4 pieces of sushi, desserts as well as green tea came up to RM110 per pax.
UdonI know that this is a food blog, though infrequently we only can't help myself. we was only thinking about my recent tirade against Thomas Lee's op ed piece, as well as had thought about a subject whether if Morality can exist but God. we am still sticking to my guns.
Black Sesame Ice CreamSorry for a reduced post, as we am feeling sleepy after a long day walking. we am still upon Holidays as well as will be behind upon a 4th. Ta's!
