Life Centre located along Jalan Sultan Ismail, Munakata is on the 1st floor. They have daily buffet dinner promotion for RM60++ (added up to RM66 nett per person), now it is increased to RM70++ (effective 6 December 2009, Sunday). Dinner time starts at 6:30pm and last order at 10:00pm

buffet dinner offers oyster, scallop, soft shelled crab, salmon, eel, mackerel, beef, chicken, sushi, sashimi etc. This sort of sumptuous buffet is of the sort you might find in hotels across the world, like the britannia hotel manchester and many luxury hotels across Asia, but at a fraction of the price.

ala-carte buffet dinner menu, RM70++(adult), RM45++(4 – 10 years old)

hotate butter yaki(grilled scallop with butter), i find it a tad oily

Unagi Tamago(Grilled eel wrapped in cooked egg)

shishamo(grilled smelt fish), not crispy and flavorful enough

Saba Shioyaki (grilled mackerel with salt), very flavorful and nice

Kaki Furai(deep fried oyster), batter is too thick.

Mini Korroke(mini croquette), made with mashed sweet potato and potato

Chawanmushi(savoury egg custard), very smooth, i had 3 of these

unagi Kabayaki(grilled eel coated with sweet soya sauce), wish it is served warmer, but nice as it is not too sweet like those served in some restaurant.

Gyu Saikora Steak(beef steak japanese style), like the well fried cabbage, the beef is standard.

Gohan & Misoshiru (steamed rice and miso soup), rice is authentic japanese rice, soup is tastyyy

Tori Tsukune Yaki(skewered chicken meat ball coated with savoury sauce), it is piping hot when served, nice although i find they could have mixed in quite a bit of flour into the chicken mixture.

seasonal fruits, green tea ice cream with red bean, and vanilla ice cream. ice cream melt way too fast.

inside the restaurant, not crowded, just a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy food.

looking out from Munakata, KFC building just across.

Overall, love this place which although serve a limited selected of japanese food for their RM60++ buffet (increase to RM70++ from 6 December 2009 onwards), are non-adultered japanese food which is a very satisfying meal. I much prefer this simple quality japanese food restaurant over jogoya/tenji anyway.
