Tenji Japanese Buffet @ SohoKL , Solaris Mont Kiara
Tenji Japanese Buffet is the latest craze in town . Many were talking bout it through emails and blogs . Thanks to Sze Vien who mailed me bout it . she wanted to go there so badly [ so do I . haha ] and asked me to book . I tried a few times and I couldn't get them [ their standard line ' our operators are busy at the moment , please dial another extension ' . ] damn kns .
But for once at late night , I got through them but unfortunately they are fully-booked throughout the luncheon promotion @ rm49.90+ per pax . [ those who are fast eater can go for their rm29.90 for the first hour , followed by an rm10 for the next subsequent hours ] .
But then , they told me they are having another promotion which is rm55 nett for the luncheon promotion till 17th Feb . I was thrilled but somehow didn't book first . After confirming the date with the rest , I tried calling them again , knowing it's freaking hard to get them for a week , day till night . and I always get the same answer . [ operators busy ] wtf .
Finally on the 18th Jan , Sunday , 4 days to go as we have planned , I finally managed to get them and booked a table for five from 12pm to 4pm . it was like buying a lottery .
So on the day , 24th of January , the 5 of us [ Sarah , Sze Vien , Marcus , Ryan and I ] went in two cars . I lead the way as I slightly know the way there [ as Sarah mentioned in her blog , we were not lost , just went into wrong junctions . TWICE! ] somehow , we made it there , just in time . Surprisingly , the queue was not as long as I expected . and so lets start the feast ! hoho
The scenery and environment of outdoor were great . golf carpets for the outdoor dining . quite unique . but the interior therefore is just good , not great . dark yet romantic . haha . they have their unique though .
Now lets move on to the food !
The famous oysters . They were seriously humongous , as huge as your palm I can say . You ll be great if you can down the flesh in one mouth . lol . They were fresh cos they were soaked frozen and served straight up to the customers , but with the taste of sea water in them , hence the foul smell . Some even had sand in them .
At first , listening to the good comments of the oysters around and being first-timers there , we excitingly took 4 plates of oysters and there were roughly 4-5 on a plate . And we have never felt so regret before . T_T [ and only the three of us guys ate . kns ]
The first two oysters were awesome for us and we were enjoying them . But after that , having the third one in our mouth was difficult and awful . Hence , the odour and taste of the seawater made us felt like puking . We can't bare to take anymore and there were like 15 more to go . How to finish everything and we can't just leave them on the table . And here comes the evil side of us . HAHA . it's a secret though =P
The awesome-awful oysters . Each of us at least had to eat 4 T_T
Don't be greedy anymore . Never ever take that much next time . *sudah tau salah* .
Only one picture was taken for the sushi . [ where got time to take one by one ] The sashimi was not that satisfying . It was not really fresh and the meat was kinda hard . And I took so much and had to finish up alone . The inari and unagi sushi therefore were splendid . especially the unagi . And as you can see the yellow strips above , it was abalone and one word . SLURP!
As for the teppanyaki section [ no pictures were taken ] we are required to drop our table's clip numbers into a bowl and they will prepare for us and send to our table . The best selection was the unagi teriyaki . Salmon and chicken teriyaki were just okay cos they were kinda dry . But the beef was good though . The downside of these orders are they come in a small portion . as in really small . a few tiny pieces - food-tasting style .
And one thing I would recommend , go for the ebi tempura . crispy and tasty .
The soba mee in a paper bowl . Marcus said okay-lar .
The must-have drinks . The coconuts were quite different cos they have a nice aromatic pandan flavor . refreshing and sweet .
They had tea section as well . So many kinds of tea . flowers and fruits flavored and also a few types of good Chinese tea . They have cute transparent teapots and cups as well .
Our Rose tea for the day .
Not only they have coffee , they even have mocha , cappuchino and latte .
Comes to the dessert corner , they have so many choices of cakes , jellies , mochis , and cookies .
And the best section is the Haagen Dazs . All you can scoop ice-cream . hoho . Very worth the money we paid . =P
Our table was just right in front of the Haagen Dazs section . haha
Marcus enjoying his coconut .
The expression eating the *wonderful* oysters . *damn*
The 2 girls posing for another camera . lol
Don't ask me why I looked like that . Must be the oysters I think . lol
We were there for 4 hours till they closed at 4.30 . Then , we headed to 1u for shopping . All of them got something except me . haha . I already did my shopping-lar . They wanted to watch movie at first but I couldn't make it cos I had to leave for futsal at night . We left 1u and went to ss2 for dinner and guess what , we had oysters again ! ' ouh zien ' aka fried oysters . =.=*
