Voucher Food Hunt: Sushi Tei

On a boring working day, a sharp scream suddenly shattered the eerie silence in our office as though there was murder!

The Victim: A colleague who has a bit too much work to do on the midst of getting crazy
C.O.D: the RM10 voucher on Sushi Tei Facebook
Resurrection: go ‘LIKE’ Sushi Tei Facebook to print out the RM10 voucher!

The voucher was printed and rested in my bag for so long until the last 2 days of its expiry date before we’d decided to give it a try. Since we were starving when we arrived in the restaurant, we quickly took some plates from the conveyor belt which carried quite a variety of different sushi.

The first off the belt was the deep fried fish skin (RM6.80).. I know! I know! It’s FAT and full of CALORIES but it was basically calling my name there… the fish skin was still crispy but unfortunately quite cold as it might be looking for an ‘owner’ on the belt for quite some time, the portion was huge as well.

Second off the belt was the soft shell crab maki (RM8.80) – I LOVE soft shell crabs so this definitely my kind of thing! Yummy!!!

We ordered some ala carte items from the menu as well and they were slowly served one by one. Cawanmushi topped with Ikura (salmon roe) was up and we were quite shocked by the quantity of the Ikura. It tasted well with the steamed egg so no complaint here… this cost RM12.80.

Our Yakitori Don (grilled chicken with rice – RM12.80) arrived and it was HUGE as well! We were still wondering how to finish this when our Kakiage Soba (Equally HUGE!!! – RM16.80) was served. *facepalm* Gosh!!! I guess we overestimated our hunger level!!!

The chicken in the rice set was A LOT and tasted fine but it did make you feel nauseated since it was simply too much! I think this can be easily shared by 2 people!!!!

We felt light-headed just to look at the sheer size of soba – however, the lightly flavored and unassuming broth tasted so well with the soba until we just couldn’t stop slurping it. Definitely a very good dish to eat in cold weather! Unfortunately we didn’t really like the Kakiage though – it tasted kind of weird. Perhaps next time we should just order the plain soba with broth! =p

Don't be deceived by its look - this was GREAT!!!

The lesson of the day? Their portion was HUGE!!! Don’t order too much else you would end up like us… ‘stuffed’ beyond recognition! =)
