Yukimi Sushi

After almost a week craving for sushi, finally had a chance to dine at a Malay owned sushi restaurant - Yukimi Sushi. Located at Matang, behind eMart, on the same block with KK Superstore, it has a decent choice of japanese menu, sushi included.. It also has a branch at Satok Walk, the new wing of Wisma Satok.

Before going into the sushi n other menus there, let me talk about the place first. This is the Matang branch.. Its cozy, very home-like setting.. few seats, the place is quite small.. some Japanese style ornaments here n there, including the fish-shaped door chime.. Wasabe n soy sauce placed on the table, which is pretty common for a japanese dining place.. my rating, 7.5 out of 10.. could do without the light around the window frame, and the tv is a distraction for conversation.. I personally prefer music..

The menu - to my dissapointment, soba n udon r out of stock.. I settled with a grilled salmon bento and a set of various of sushi.. my friend who were with me as well ordered another salmon dish, and the other had tori-something bento set, which was essentially chicken fried with bread crumb based batter..

I have to say I was deeply dissapointed. The salmon on the sushi was not fresh at all. N grilled salmon tasted a lot like tenggiri.. the wasabi had no kick in it, n miso soup was more like soy sauce soup. There was no seaweed at all in it. Instead, they put crab meat..

But the wakane or sea weed sushi was almost delicious. Almost, but not quite. The batter on the takoyaki had too much flour in it that the taste of tako, or baby octopus, was barely there. Same goes for teriyaki.. this is the deep fried prawn. The bread crumbs masks the prawn so much that it overpowers the taste of the prawn.. Perhaps the most displeasing was the staleness of salmon, as well as the rice quality.. tasted like normal rice, instead of the ones used in Sushi King.

For food, its a mere 3 out of 10. For effort tho, 7 out of 10.. hey, at least somebody tried, rite?

Haiz.. I miss Sushi King even more.. all in all, it was a dissapointing experience.. A bit more training, and better n fresher ingredients, the perhaps it'll at least put up a decent fight against Sushi King..
