When asked
the question that all Malaysians hate the most, “Where do you want to go for
lunch?”, practically in One Utama, the
first choice for most of the people who live Petaling Jaya area would be Sushi
Zanmai. As for me, I prefer Hokkaido Sushi,
a Japanese restaurant where I need to fulfill my Japanese food cravings at
least twice a week!
When it
comes to my favourite Japanese food, I am very particular with the taste,
presentation and price. In Hokkaido sushi, although it is comparably more
expensive than usual Japanese restaurant, you eat what you pay.
Apparently Hokkaido
Sushi is owned by the same company that operates Sushi Zanmai and Pasta Zanmai,
both are also popular Japanese restaurant in One Utama. However it has lesser
crowd compared to the two as the restaurant is placed at underground floor,
next to its sister restaurant called Hokkaido Ichiba, a Japanese buffet
restaurant.
Like any other Japanese restaurant, Hokkaido
Sushi uses conveyor belt as a convenience for the customer to take the dishes
they like, shortening the time of the service.
As usual, the
first dish I would order is Tamago Mentai. Practically it is just an ordinary Japanese
omelet sushi, what makes it my favourite dish is the mentai mayo sauce on top
of it. Moreover the price is cheap and reasonable – RM2.80, much cheaper than
other dishes in the restaurant.
Being a
salmon lover, it is a must to order it no matter which Japanese restaurant I
go. Hokkaido Sushi uses fresh and thick salmon meat that can make everyone
drool by just looking at it.
If you want
something lighter, salmon salad would be a good choice. Just do remember to
pour the sesame sauce into the bowl and mix it well with the ingredients!
Another
dish I would highly recommend is the salmon head (RM12.90). Despite its big
portion, you are also given two options whether to cook it salty or sweet.
As for main
dishes, I usually order Cha Soba (RM 7.80), a plate of green-tea-flavoured thin
noodle with a bowl of cold dipping sauce/soup.
It is a simple yet refreshing dish. Not forget to mention that it is healthy too!
They also have a variety of side dishes with bigger servings as well as monthly promotion
for different categories.
Lastly,
among the side dishes I have tried, I personally like Mentaiko Spider Roll a
lot. Different
from other dishes with soft shell crab, this dish comes with avocado, which
enhances the special taste of the sushi.
