Valentine's Day Dinner

Guess where I took MiSsMyNx for Valentine’s Day Dinner? Where you able to guess? It’s written all over my previous food post!

Anyway, since no one answers me (how could you right? You’re reading my blog, not chatting with me…). The answer’s Ninja Jones @ Northpoint.

Making an early reservation was a good thing as there were practically crowd lining up waiting for their seats at the entrance from 7.30pm onwards… Now, the best bit I overheard from the manager was that, by 8.30pm, those without reservation, they have to be turned away. There just isn’t enough space to accomodate walk in customers for that day. Inside my heart was like, phew, Thank God I made reservations for us.

On to the food that we ate…

Gyu Karubi Sumini-Yaki: Wagyu Beef or Kobe Beef, your choice. The beef do taste different compared to those you get in other places. All those massaging and alcohol DO give the cows better meat! How long it takes for you to cook the beef is also up to you, so you can choose to have some as rare, medium raw or cooked.

Salmon Carpaccio: Raw salmon prepared with some italian touch. To tell you the truth, I don’t really like those salmon that was served at Sushi Kings and all those fast food Sushi restaurants cause I feel that the fish ain’t fresh enough. But This plate of raw fish, I can tell you this, the one plate we ordered isn’t enough for both of us!

Soft Shell Crab Temaki: This California Roll with Soft Shell Crab in it looks good, but I didn’t eat any of it. Didn’t really like Seaweeds.

King Prawn Roll: I’ve commented about this dish before in my previous Ninja Jones post and I will still say it again. It was good! Too bad they didn’t have any Caterpillar Roll that night or we’d have ordered that again.

Volcano Roll: Again, a dish that we can never get bored of, no matter how many times we orders it.

Eringi Ninniku Shoyu Grill: Mushrooms on a grill, best eaten as soon as it arrived as the mushroom will tend to have a tougher bite to it as it starts to dry up from the heat of the stove.

Ti-Ra-Mi-Su: The Tiramisu Cake with a scope of green tea and some fruits in it. A nice dessert to end the night.

So, How was your Valentine’s Dinner? Do come and comment a bit.

Ninja Jones Japanese Restaurant

Was wondering where to go for Valentine’s Day dinner and David Lai the Magician was nice enough to introduce me to this Japanese Restaurant located at Northpoint, Midvalley.

Check out the food that was served!

King Prawn Roll: The details to the dish was excellent, it’s so beautiful that we dont’ dare to bite into it.

Volcano Roll: Coated with a layer of burnt cheese, it’s quite nice if only I could take cheese.

Caterpillar Roll: This is a cute no. that looks like a overgrown Caterpillar waiting to be eaten.

Toro Salmon: This is Ninja Jone’s Specialty and it cost RM30 just for this small dish.

Shallow Fried Soft Shell Crab: Fried to perfection in my opinion, crunchy to the bite and well portioned for the price.

Will I go back to this restaurant? Definitely! In fact, I’ve made reservations for this Valentine’s Day! I have a strong feeling MissMynx would love this place.

CNY Eve Dinner @ Ipoh East Ocean Seafood Restaurant

It was the eve of Chinese New Year and as usual, I celebrated my Chinese New Year in Ipoh.

Previously, we would prepare food at home for the CNY Eve Dinner but this year, as there were less people to have the dinner with, we decided to eat out instead.

The restaurant of choice was the Ipoh East Ocean Seafood Restaurant in Ipoh Garden South. As we got there, I was told that we had to book the place way in advance as the place was packed with people. No booking means no entry to the restaurant.

After we got in and got our table, I overheard my cousin reminding a person over the phone that her booking was at 9pm and so I naturally asked, why eat dinner so late? The explanation was that the place was so packed with bookings that there were 3 sessions organized by the restaurant.

There’s the 5pm slots, 7pm slots and the 9pm slots. Of course, the 7pm slot was the hardest to get and we managed to get one. The one that was the saddest was the 5pm slot but then, there’s not much of a choice if you’d want to have a reunion dinner right?

The reason why the 5pm slot wasn’t the more popular ones is because, imagine you had your dinner at 5pm. By 9pm, you’d be hungry again! right?

End up, you’d be going for supper and for those that is concious about their body, they’ll be complaining about weight gain!

Anyway, so far, that’s the food we ate for the dinner and after that, we proceeded to Jusco to just walk about and got another Yee Sang dish from Sushi King. Yup! FOOD!

We got it for our midnight supper after we got back from the temple, my cousins and I went to one in Menglembu to have our 1st prayer of the chinese calendar year (and for me to snap photos, which I’ll be posting at a later post).

I realized that I never sleep early when I’m in Ipoh but heck, who would want to sleep when you could have some ‘profitable’ fun during Chinese New Year, right?

The Sushi King Yee Sang

Back to the topic of food, I can’t say that the food was great as it’s just common dishes that was pre-prepared by the restaurant just for this occasion so everything was very … ‘manufactured’. Maybe their normal dishes would taste good but I could only say so after I actually try them.

The SK’s Yee Sang with the beautiful slice of fillet before it enters my mouth.
