Its Japanese cuisine again~~~ Coz recently we are so into SALMON!!! Munakata is a Japanese restaurant where u can had A la Carte in the noon and buffet dinner at night. It’s located at Life Center, Jalan Sultan Ismail. The building is currently under renovation but they are still the one who open as usual.
The decorations for this restaurant is according to Japanese concept where the waitress is wearing Kimono and serving us. Since its Tuesday night, only Kampung hunter and Fishy gal. He even said its because he booked the whole restaurant and had dinner for me. So the kimono girl serve us and let us go through the menu first. So, since Kampung hunter is coming down to KL, i’ve been thinking to bring him for a Japanese buffet dinner where there are delicious and fresh salmon for both of us. I knew it from my friend and tried it out.
The food in the menu is limited, but then the quality of the food is really good. Usually buffet style let us pick up food that we wanted, but this restaurant served it differently. They cook only whenever you place the order. So, the food is freshly cook just for you! Since we are hungry so we order quite a few plate for our 1st round. I guess picture can let all of you know how delicious the food is.
Chawanmushi >> Its really hot when we took a sip of it. You can get mushroom and crabstick inside. The custard egg when eat together with other ingredients is so nice. I like the chawanmushi here. Kampung hunter likes to have it with some sweet soy sauce. It gives u a different taste. Try it...
Salad with seafood>> This salad as starter for me is really refreshing. Usually Kampung hunter won’t eat salad because of the vege but he likes it too. There is some shredded shrimp and crabstick mix with mayo on top of the vege. The taste of mayo is so strong and yet you could still taste the toppings
Enoki Mushroom wrap with beef >> I love Enoki!!! Its hot when i tried it. Te beef is juicy and taste good. The chef at Munakata could really cook all of the dishes well. Although the portion is small, but no worry coz it’s a buffet. Order a few more if u like it J
Unagi with Soy sauce and Salmon sashimi >> This is really a temptation. When i wrote this blog I could still feel the incredible taste of unagi and salmon. The unagi was just nice. As u know unagi = eel so some may love or jus hate it due to the taste. As for the Salmon sashimi 3pcs per plate, its cold + firm fresh + oily but not fatty + tender and it melts when u eat it. They reli serve delicious Salmon. And its so worthy for the price i paid. Me and Kampung hunter had 5 plates of Salmon sashimi.
Fried Hotate >> Hotate means scallop. This dish was not bad too. Although is fried, but the taste of scallop is still there and its sweet. This could be compared with the fresh scallop since the sweetness of scallop still remain. It’s a delicacy for everyone of us.
Miso soup and rice >> Kampung hunter just order this because he worried that he will be hungry. Well is normal Kampung boy ma so need rice also. The miso soup is traditional Japanese soup. The flavor of the soup paste is strong but its not too salty. You always get this in any restaurant.
Fried tofu and Yakinasu No Nikumiso Kaka >> The tofu with a little oyster on top add some flavor. The tofu inside is so soft. Jus like normal fried tofu. While the eggplant or brinjal (Nasubi) with some mince meat on top. It taste nice because I think they make it with oyster sauce and fry it. It’s almost same like a Chinese dish.
Soft shell crab and Salmon sushi >> Seriously you can really taste the crab meat at here. Usually the soft shell crab we had is hardly taste full of meat. But this is great! The meat is so sweet and soft. For the salmon sushi, the salmon is slice nicely jus like the sashimi. Freshly cut. Just add some wasabi and soy sauce and its gave you a heaven taste~~~
Vanilla ice cream >> For dessert they only have fresh fruits and ice cream. So of course we get ice cream. There is another flavor which is green tea with red bean as topping. The green tea ice cream taste so so so strong. Sometimes the strong flavor will make it become bitter but this one is just nice especially with redbean. But too bad, its too too tasty till I forget to snap pictures. Sorry guys... Anyway i order Vanilla flavor too and its still taste milky. In the end, both of us is too full to try any other things.
For both of us, Munakata unlimited Japanese buffet is great. For just the Salmon sashimi and Cod Fish ( forget to took pic ) they served, the price we paid is worth more than that. And what’s important was the quality of the food. Fresh and keeping the original taste of the food makes us have a great dinner. So for those Japanese food lover, do visit this restaurant. You’ll surely have a great experience about the food they serve. You may call the restaurant and make a booking in case its full on the weekend.
