Japanese Ala-Carte Buffet: Mizu TTDI vs Munakata Life Center Jalan Sultan Ismail

Mizu-TTDI1

It is always nice to have ala-carte buffet where food is served to you instead of taking the food yourself.

Mizu TTDI and Munakata Jalan Sultan Ismail are among my top 2 for Japanese ala-carte buffet, MaiuDamansara Perdana(used to be called Umai-ya) also have ala-carte buffet which i dont really like

Komura of Corus Hotel do have a pretty awesome Japanese ala carte buffet spread as well for RM60++ lunch, RM98++ dinner. Click here for visit to Komura on February 2010.

Mizu ala carte buffet only available on Saturday and Sunday lunch from noon to 3pm for RM50++ for Saturday(about RM60 all inclusive)or RM55++ for Sunday.

Whereas Munakatas only available for dinner Monday to Saturday(closed on Sundays) for RM70++ They currently have buy 2 free 1 promotion until end of February 2012 which average out to RM55 each person all inclusive if 3 person going.

Lets start off with Mizus spread. Above is their order sheet.

Mizu-TTDI2

Looks really nice, above is sashimi beautifully spread out on ice, the quality is quite good except not too fond of the tuna sashimi after bfs sister say they put coloring on tuna to make it looks nicer. The above portions is for 4 of us ;)

Mizu-TTDI3

Tamago, scallop lips and small octopus, all quite good

Mizu-TTDI4

Tempura prawns with fresh prawns

Mizu-TTDI5

Yummy teppanyaki beef cubes, salmon is ok, dont really like their scallop which has rubbery texture and lacking natural sweetness from seafood

Mizu-TTDI6

Yummy sashimi salad

Mizu-TTDI7

Delicious mizu maki with eel, tempura prawn and tasty mayo dressing

Mizu-TTDI8

Soba

Mizu-TTDI9

Grilled shishamo, mackarel and salmon

Mizu-TTDI10

Delicious eel handroll

Mizu-TTDI11

We wanted the grilled salmon as in the whole head. At first the waitress say it is not included in the buffet, but we ordered it anyway assuming it will be charged ala-carte, and end up they dont charge us for it. Really tasty fatty meat

Mizu-TTDI12

Tempura prawn again

Mizu-TTDI13

Seafood fried rice and garlic fried rice, prefer the fragrant garlicky one

Mizu-TTDI14

Seafood Kimchi Soup, appetising sourish and slightly spicy

Mizu-TTDI15

I think we were eating too much and they were waiting for us to leave when they served us the above 2 huge chicken portion although we ordered only 1 portion of it, and usually their portion is only few sma! ll piece s.

Mizu-TTDI16

an order of all dessert before deciding what to have more of. The pudding and jelly are not nice, their matcha green tea and black sesame ice cream are awesome

Their chawanmushi still have the best texture among all i have tried, very smooth, but somehow the taste is slightly lacking this time.

Munakata3

Sourish seaweed wakame salad

Munakata4

soft tofu with chinese style starchy sauce which i not fond of, taste like chinese plum sauce

Munakata14

Seafood tofu is just ok

Munakata15

Beef with straw mushroom is just ok

Munakata16

Behind is really meaty and tasty soft shell crab tempura, to the front is tempura moriawase
