Manhattan Fish Market Malaysia

Fish! Seafoods! As a seafood lover, Manhattan Fish Market is definitely your place to go. 

It features lots of seafood platters- mainly fish- and also prawns, calamaris, scallops, even lobsters.

Outlets can be found easily in Klang Valley, and Penang as well. 

It's an international restaurant concept bringing you the 'manhattan' feel and plenty of their service are based on fish and sea. My very first experience with this restaurant was at Sogo when i was only a primary school kid. And then i am in love with their fish- fresh and crispy- utterly satisfying.

And then now the favourite outlet of MFM is at e@curve, Damansara. They provide good service there, and i can really enjoy there.

Here are some photos attached and their review (some photos are from Official MFM Facebook Page)

This is their well-known 'strictly for two' series, featuring it only can be finished by  more than one person- it's really statisfying and sometimes even 2 person cannot finish.
Above is Seafood Platter for two BEFORE the menu renovation- it doesn't exist anymore, but it's more or less the same with the new ' Manhattan Flaming Seafood Platter' and it is priced at RM 52.90 (comparing it was RM49.90 last time)

Manhattan Flaming Seafood Platter for 2 (RM52.90)- featuring Fried fish, calamari, oysters, prawns with chips and rice!

If you do not like fried things- you can consider their Grilled series. 

Grilled Gala Platter- RM52.90- featuring grilled fish fillet, calamari, prawn, and fresh mussels with herb rice!

OR if you do not like Sharing- or think that personal meal is more suitable, try their signature fish n chips!

Choice of Dory/Cherry Snapper/Cod- from RM10.90 (light) to RM16.90 (regular) for dory and RM29.90 for cod.
featuring the deep fried into perfection fish with garden salad with a choice of rice/chips/or more salad.

Their Soup of the Day (left) RM4.90 (light) RM6.90 (regular)
Chowder of the Day (right) RM5.90 (light) RM7.90 (regular)

Their latest promotion- One set with Garden Salad+ Small Flame+Grilled Salmon+2 drinks only for RM49.90

NOTE: If you do not like the oily taste- better do not try their baked fish- it's oily. especially the garden herb fish- extremely oily.

Tao Japanese Buffet Cuisine

People craving for food.

For me, i crave for MORE food. 

And food as in 'buffet' makes me feel utterly excited. 

Let me introduce you, the EAT-ALL-YOU-CAN restaurant again,

TAO CUISINE.

It's a japanese style buffet featuring mainly japanese food, also some chinese foods. 

It's quite infamous in Klang Valley and sometimes it will be compared with Jogoya or Tenji. 

Comparing to the 2 well-known buffet place (Jogoya & Tenji); Tao offers most importantly, LOWER PRICE.

One adult may cost up to more than RM70 if you were to visit J&T, but for Tao, you just need around RM50 (for lunch session)

Even though maybe that some of the food maybe absent comparing to J&T, but Tao has its signature dishes- that you cannot miss- that other restaurant can't fight. That is why it is so popular.

It provides 2 way of getting foods there, one is to take foods from counter (and also barbecue counter), one is from the menu. The menu offer great deals of foods- from deep fried to grill- from grill to steam.

Tao Menu

Sushi Bar/ BBQ section

And without hesitation, let me introduce you the tastiest food inside this little space in Sunway Giza.
They have their TOP 10 food from the menu, i cannot remember it, but here are some foods that worth you for trying.

Lamb Teriyaki. This is a MUST ORDER. taste very nice!

Salmon Teriyaki- satisfying dish!

Scallop with cheese- another MUST!

 Sushi that you can take from sushi bar- DO NOT take so much- you've got lots of foods waiting for you.

And here are some other food that worth trying out (just try it, you get to order unlimited food, what's the worry!?)

[From their BBQ section], order:

BBQ chicken (EXTREMELY JUICY)

[From the menu], order:

most lamb dishes, most fried dishes ( especially tempuras, you just wont regret- how bad will it taste?)

And here are some notes for you:

DO NOT worry about the portion you may get- the food you order will be served in just a small portion- so you doesnt have to worry about eating too much of the same dish. how nice!

And TAO really have a good image for customers- of their service- their service is friendly- though there are some foreigner staff which you may just excuse them and find for another staff instead in case you cannot understand their language, HAHA!

 They have a special moving tray with their ingredient spining around every tables, similar to sushi restaurant.

Moving Tray from Mo-Mo-Paradise

They actually have alot special ingredient and many meatballs for you to choose on- from fish to chicken, to pork, to beef; they've got nothing less.
and what is so unarguably tasty is their unlimited meat slices- beef or pork; and also chicken and fish meats.

(Up and Down) Pork Slice- UNLIMITED- eat as many as you can!  cook and dip it with sauce of your choice! Some also recommend dip it with eggs first and then cook it- i have not try that out yet.

They are also featuring their little appetizers- friend chicken and some other friend foods, and also their signature Taiwan minced meat rice. Kinda nice, but do not over eat that- you will get full and miss other delicious food there.

Taiwan Minced Meat Rice

And here are my little recommendation: their KIMCHI! They have a little box of kimchi for you to take in their little food trolley- It's tasty!

If you are boring with your clear soup- put some kimchi in- You will have your own made soup- Kimchi Flavour! It's nice!

They also have ice cream and puding as dessert upon request, do try them out!

Food Trolley- MORE food for you to discover!

Sakae Sushi Malaysia

Yes. Today we will talk about this well-known Sushi Restaurant in Malaysia- Sakae Sushi.

It is actually a restaurant originated from Singapore since 1997 and today it has grown into global chain of more than 50 outlets throughout Asia and currently we have more than 13 outlets in Malaysia (I think more coming soon). 

It is actually one of my favourite place for Sushi and some even say that it is a better version of Sushi King. (I personally AGREE)

This restaurant basically make me feel easy and relax. And that's why it was always so crowded during weekend, sometimes even weekdays. 

This restaurant is quite popular in my community and some of my friends also fancied this restaurant very much.

Personally there are some foods that is tasty and some that doesn't. 

It's about your cleverness in making choice. Some food they serve are very tasty, some doesn't even worth for you to pay for it. So, make a smart choice!

They have displaying sushi on the moving tray, and there are plenty of rice, noodles, side orders, desserts for you to order through menu. 

They have this very remarkable feature: e-ordering.

Customers may order their foods with the staff, or order foods through the monitor screen. They prepare menu on the screen and all you have to do is to touch and confirm the order.

*Some outlet is now upgraded into Ipad Ordering- Which i found it extremely easy and interesting.

My friend with the Sakae Sushi iPad Menu

How about the price?

It is actually depends on what you've ordered, if your perfect goal is just to make yourself full and pay less, just order low-price foods (eg green plates sushi)

If you wanna try something out and to enjoy the meal without even care about how much you need to pay, well, enjoy the varieties they show you on the menu.

Generally they have 5 types of colours of plates on the tray:

Green (RM1.99)

Pink (RM3.99)

Red (RM 5.99)

Black/Yellow (Sakae Special-price vary)

Here are some foods review with picture attached, and some without pictures.

(DO NOTE that picture from this blog post is a combination from my few experience in Sakae Sushi in few outlets in Klang Valley. Most of them were from The Curve outlet and some of them were from 1 Utama /Fahrenheit88.

Sakae Green Tea (RM1.20). In hot or cold; depends on your need. Some outlets got a hot pipe beside each table for you to refill yourself while some outlet is to be refilled upon request. 

Miso Soup (RM1.90) I ordered this every single time i come to Sakae Sushi. It's my starter soup. =)


Displaying Sushi tray - from Fahrenheit88. Notice the monitor for each table.


1 Utama Sakae Sushi- featuring touch screen monitor.


Green Plates- BEFORE the 'Sakae Inflation'- the Kakiage and Salmon sushi was on green plate- but now- Pink Plate.

The Kakiage(fried vege) now- RM3.99- It's bigger and served with  special sauce- comparing with the green plate before inflation- this is actually better. 

Spicy Salmon Roll- RM1.99- Taste nice and spicy. Personally like it very much.

Red Plates- Rm5.99- I can't remember their names- it was the teatime promotion where we can get 1 free 1 red plates- so we just took from the tray. Taste just ok. Doesn't actually worth RM5.99


Dragon Cheeseroll (i think this was what it's called)- Around RM12.90- Taste NORMAL- nothing special- not worth.

Fried Chicken (I forgot the Japanese Name)- RM7.90- This is actually quite nice with lemon. =)

Toriyaki. RM5.90- It's juicy! Quite nice!

Soft Shell Crab Tempura- RM12.90- Just OK. Prefer SSC from Sushi King. 

There are, ofcourse, lots and lots of foods from Sakae Sushi- Just without the picture-

Here are some recommendation that I remember:

Curry Chicken Don- RM12.90

Teriyaki Chicken Don (also available in Beef)- RM10.90 (Chicken)

Maki (Cucumber/Salmon/Crabmeat)- Green Plate (RM1.99)

Potato Salad-  RM3.99 (Nice for potato lovers)

Salmon Sashimi (RM5.99- 3Pcs)- Quite Fresh and thick.

Fried Salmon (RM5.99)

Also giving credits to Plain Rice (RM2.00) if you are not satisfied enough with the Sushi Rice. 

Sakae Sushi also featuring SAKAE CARD (i've got one) for you to collect points and the points can be used the next time you visit to offset your bill! =)

You can enjoy special price on special item and also member day promotion!

They are now also giving e-voucher for members which highlights some food for just RM1.

Sakae Sushi is available in several main shopping centre in Klang Valley and also in Penang.

Sakae Sushi The Curve (Above and Below)

Sakae Sushi 1 Utama

 THOUGH, There are some comments from me for Sakae Sushi:

The Curve outlet- The service was good, but now it's bad. Staff starts to play hide and seek and ignorance.

and WHERE IS THE AIR COND NOW!? The temperature get customers away!

The iPad sometimes is kinda faulty. So unlucky for those who sat on the table with the faulty iPad. Cannot change seats if there's many customers. They have to order with the staff, which the staff is playing ignorance.

The tea refill is a problem when the staff is playing ignorance. why not do like Sushi King?

Each table has a teapot- fast and easy- we easy and happy.

So afterall, it's still my favourite place to have a meal. For those who have not tried it out, find some chance! visit their Facebook Page or Website to find out more!
