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, Maiu Damansara Perdana (used to be called Umai-ya) also have ala-carte buffet which i don’t really like…
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 Munakata’s 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.
Let’s start off with Mizu’s spread. Above is their order sheet.
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 bf’s sister say they put coloring on tuna to make it looks nicer. The above portions is for 4 of us 😉
Tamago, scallop lips and small octopus, all quite good
Tempura prawns with fresh prawns
Yummy teppanyaki beef cubes, salmon is ok, don’t really like their scallop which has rubbery texture and lacking natural sweetness from seafood
Yummy sashimi salad
Delicious mizu maki with eel, tempura prawn and tasty mayo dressing
Soba
Grilled shishamo, mackarel and salmon
Delicious eel handroll
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 don’t charge us for it. Really tasty fatty meat
Tempura prawn again
Seafood fried rice and garlic fried rice, prefer the fragrant garlicky one
Seafood Kimchi Soup, appetising sourish and slightly spicy
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 small pieces.
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
Last round in Mizu 🙂
Let’s move on to Munakata japanese ala carte buffet in Life Center, Jalan Sultan Ismail
Order menu for unlimited ala carte buffet dinner in Munakata
Their chawanmushi still have the best texture among all i have tried, very smooth, but somehow the taste is slightly lacking this time.
Sourish seaweed wakame salad
warm yummy unagi omelette
salmon sushi
Salmon sashimi is the only raw fish choice here, the fish is not as fresh looking as previous visit.
plain looking but yummy seafood salad
warm tasty unagi pieces
delicious scallop
very yummy straw mushroom with buttery aroma.
I find the cod taste so so
shishamo
soft tofu with chinese style starchy sauce which i not fond of, taste like chinese plum sauce
Seafood tofu is just ok
Beef with straw mushroom is just ok
Behind is really meaty and tasty soft shell crab tempura, to the front is tempura moriawase
plain looking, but this buttery spinach is addictively yummy
too oily eggplant with mincemeat
breaded seafood is just ok
Like the green tea ice cream, but more fond of Mizu’s 😉
Overall, i very much prefer Mizu in a way although it is worth going to Munakata for a try especially when they have buy 2 free 1 deal going on now.
