Sukiya Malaysia @Sunway Giza Kota Damansara Petaling Jaya Japan's Top Selling Gyudon

Although Sukiya Malaysia has set foot for more than 3 years, it has been relative unknown to many. +BestRestaurant ToEat was invited to taste Japan No 1 Gyudon from Sukiya Malaysia outlet located at 27-1, Jalan PJU 5/15, Dataran Sunway, Kota Damansara, 47810 Selangor Tel: 03 - 6143303.

Sukiya Malaysia outlet setup is one of a fast food type, where food can be ordered at the counter and served quickly to the diners with minimum fuss.

As per the corporate mission of Sukiya; which is to bring delicious food at affordable price to the masses culminating from a proven process. The process from procurement, manufacturing and logistics of its food produce are meticulously followed. One really have to taste the food served here to authenticate this claim. 

We started off the food review with none other than their best sellers and signature GYUDON Beef Rice (RM 6.40 (S), RM 8.40 (M), RM 10.40 (L)). The thinly sliced beef are from the grain fed cattle from Australia which has an excellent fat to meat ratio. Coupled with a special rice (a little sticky) and with the special strong onion flavour sauce, it was a very heartwarming and delicious rice dish. The serving of the meat that came with rice has a very generous serving as pictured above.

To go with the Gyudon, one can order an add-on set i.e the seaweed set which has a miso soup, a cold seaweed salad and a drink. This add on set cost RM5.50.

This is then followed by Teriyaki Chicken Rice (RM 8.40 (M), RM 10.40 (L)); we like the Teriyaki sauce, as it was just right the balance without being too overly sweet. The chicken thigh was grilled and coated with the teriyaki sauce and topped with scallion which adds to fragrant of the rice dish.

For this rice, we had it, with an add-on of the Seafood Tofu Set, which has 5 pieces of the fried tofu surimi with Miso soup and a drink at RM6.50.

The last Gyudon that we tried for the night is the Triple Cheese Gyudon (RM 8.40 (S), RM 10.40 (M), RM 12.40 (L)). The rice is topped with the same onion beef but for this special rice bowl, there are 3 types of cheese that are topped to it. To eat it, mixed the cheese with the rice and you get a gooey cheesy rice dish. 

For those non rice fan, Sukiya also offers a new range of Ramen; we had the Tokyo Ramen with chicken (RM 8.40). The broth is of a chicken based and for us the ramen was just ok compared with the Gyudon which was much more flavourful and tastier.

For the Ramen, we opted for the Kara-age add-on set which has a 3 piece of Crispy Ginger infused Fried Chicken which was fried to a crisp on the outside while the inside still retains the juicy and succulent thigh meat. The set also comes with a Miso Soup and a drink priced at RM6.50.

We are not a real fan of Japanese curries as we find them to be on a sweet side and the spicy level is extremely mild. But the Gyu-Curry (RM 12.40 (M), RM 14.40 (L)) was somewhat different and the spicy level was at an acceptable level with the same signature Onion Slice Beef.

We really find great value in the Don (rice) dishes as the quality of the meat that was served tasted very delicious and flavorful. For just RM8.40, you can get a reasonably big bowl of rice with top quality meat.

Musang King Durian Mooncake From D’King - Handmade and Delivered To Your Door Step

 As Mid-Autumn Festival approaches, many look forward to the moon cake, which is almost synonymous with the annual celebration. This year, D’King, a premium durian mooncake brand, introduces its vegetarian snow skin Musang King durian mooncake, which are handmade and does not contain preservatives and artificial flavouring.

Instead, it is packed with the highest-grade Musang King durians sourced from Pahang. It is the perfect gift for corporate clients and for the family this coming Mid-Autumn Festival. Traditionally, these handmade cakes were shared with family members to signify completeness and the unity of families.

“Unlike most mooncakes, which utilise processed filling, D’king mooncake is prepared with the

actual durian flesh. Once the durians arrive, we peel them and remove the flesh immediately to 

prepare the mooncake filling. If we wait too long, the durians would break open on its own, and the aroma and taste would be lost,” shares Simon Chin, founder of D’King. “

Last year, our D24 mooncake was very well received, so this year, we decided to go for the most premium durian, which is the famous Musang King. The Musang King was selected for the creamy and sticky flesh, with its strong scent and flavour that melts in your mouth.”

“Another unique feature is its delicate snow skin that is light-textured yet uniquely bouncy. The snow skin also has to be thin enough to emphasize the filling but strong enough to hold it all in. The snow skin is made from a secret recipe which we have created after many rounds of trials. Our pastry chef has nearly a decade of experience behind him and he is extremely particular about perfecting the taste,” added Chin.

D’King vegetarian snow skin musang king durian mooncake is sold in sets of eight 60g mooncakes, at RM128 per set, there is currently a promotional price of RM98 per set. Delivery is free if two or more sets are purchased. To order, please whatsapp 012-664 8797 with the following format: <Name><Address><No of Sets><Delivery Date>

Four Seasons Seafood Restaurant @ Bandar Mahkota Cheras - A Seafood Haven In Cheras Review

There are not many seafood restaurant in Cheras that serves fresh seafood with a unique specialty taste. +BestRestaurant ToEat was invited to Four Seasons Seafood Restaurant located at 50, Jalan Temenggung 15/9, Bandar Mahkota Cheras 43200 Cheras, Selangor to experience this newly open seafood restaurant.

We feel quite at ease with the above average banquet style decor which exudes the charms of the four season. It has 4 private dining room aptly named after the four season which is summer, spring, autumn and winter.

2 of the special rooms are equipped with the Karaoke system, that offers diners the chance to belt out their favourite numbers after their hearty meals.

Our review started out with the humbly looking Seafood Pot but which contains a whole tasty meat crab which was very fresh, accompanied with squid, clams, prawns and a meat patties which has been added with salted fish. The flavour and taste was superb, as it tasted very much like curries but according to the Chef, no curry powder or curry leaves were used to cook this dish. The sauce is perfect with white rice or Fried Mantao.

Next on the table was a very unique vegetable (green dragon) with bean sprout. It was quite a nice combination as the crunchy beansprout married well with the texture of the vegetable which has a soft texture.

The next dish is the Grill Fresh Prawns which is lightly coated with soya sauce which has our finger licking good while the texture of the fresh prawn was excellent.

After that we had the Salted Egg Squid - we loves the coating of the salty eggs with the squid, but the squid meat was cut to a quite a small portion, we suggested to cut it to a bigger size to ensure that you can really taste the texture of the squid meat with every bite.

After that came the Minced Meat Choi Heong Tofu - This home made tofu was very nicely done, with a soft crisp on the outside while the inside retains the tofu soft texture which marries well with the minced pork and the choy po sauce. Another thumbs up for the white rice.

This dish is a little surprise for us. You can never find this Claypot Kangkung in any other place as this is a secret recipe that uses a special shrimp paste (Ham Har) i.e. the Chinese style belacan, which adds to the fragrant and aromatic to simple Kangkung. Added with the pork lard, onions; to me this is is heavenly and really good with the white rice.

This next dish is the Herbs Stewed Kampung Chicken - There are altogether 7 type of Herbs used to cook this chicken dish and with a sprinkle of premium Fah Tiew wine which adds to the aroma and extra fragrant to the chicken. We loved the strong herbal taste and the sauce was so good that we literally scoop it and drink it. 

Choy Po Steam Patin Fish was the next seafood dish - For steam fish, the most important factor is the freshness of it. You can cook the best sauce but if the fish is not fresh, the whole dining experience is totally lost. The Patin Fish that was served here was very fresh with a firm meat and coupled with the simple soya based sauce with Choy Po; it reminds me of the home style steam fish that we had eaten before. 

We then start our crab journey, the first of it was the Butter Crab - we find the sauce a little too sweet for our liking but nevertheless the succulent firm meat of the crab overrides the little set back here. We told the chef to tone down on the sweetness level. Other than that; it is another dish that score a thumbs up.

The final dish of the day was the Spicy Style Crab - The Chef uses a lot of fiery chilli padi, fresh red chillies and home made spicy sauce. This spicy level can really make you sweat profusely and will be a favourite for those that loves their crab in a super spicy level. The freshness of the crab and the size was a top notched.

Four Seasons Seafood Restaurant @ Bandar Mahkota Cheras is having a Special Value Lunch Set, with pricing starting from as low as RM 98 for 4-5 paxs, RM 138 for 6-7paxs to RM 268 for 8-10 paxs.
