Mikan: Round Two. Earlier entry: April 5.
Sashimi platter, featuring amaebi, tai & tako. Mikan lets customers customize their sashimi selection, choosing only the fish & seafood that they want (for a fixed price). Thankfully, everything we ordered for this tasted irreproachable.
Jumbo ebi tempura. Some of the most massive prawns around, seemingly more than a foot long. Insanely addictive too, with sweet, succulent flesh coated in light, crunchy batter.
Avocado maki. Sticky rice, creamy avocado, crisp seaweed _ a can't-fail combo.
Seafood croquette. Served fresh and steaming-hot; excellent for snacking.
Comfort food: tender, flavorsome beef cheeks in rich, thick Japanese curry.
Fish broth. The chunks of (unidentifiable) fish were bony, but the soup tasted healthy.
Oyster Bay Sauvignon Blanc.
Pinot Noir. Red, red wine, stay close to meeeeeeee....
Mikan,
Maju Junction, Jalan Sultan Ismail, Kuala Lumpur.
Wow. Foot long tempura. That's new to me. Only ever heard of foot long sausage before. :P
ReplyDeleteBaby sumo: heheh, but this one should be healthier at least, since it's pure prawn (versus processed meat in the sausage). As long as it isn't a mutant prawn though! :D
ReplyDeleteD seafood croquette looks creamylicious...n I c okra :D
ReplyDeleteUlric: oh yeah, very simple recipes here, with very simple ingredients, but mostly very satisfying! =)
ReplyDeletejapanese curry! i'm planning to cook it this weekend. ;)
ReplyDeleteOoh, that's a first for me - okra as garnishing for Japanese curry. Methinks it'll taste even better in the curry itself? Hehe.
ReplyDeleteYep...sometimes simple is d best :D
ReplyDeleteAlthough the place looks somewhat desolate :(
I want to try that foot long tempura! Look yummy!
ReplyDeleteWOW! That's just sooooo long! (That's what she said)
ReplyDeleteEbi tempura i want!!
michelle: have fun! be sure to make it creamy! :D
ReplyDeletekenny: i must confess, i'm not a fan of okra at all. now if it had been avocado in that curry ... mmmmmm =)
ulric: oh, it's a two-story outlet, so the customers seem to be spread out over two separate floors :D
ckiong: aha! so it sounds like size is really important to you! =)
ciki: heheh, big is beautiful! (though this would be difficult to fully insert into one's mouth) :D
That's a massive prawn! Must be a transatlantic import in our midst! Happy Holidays Sean!
ReplyDeletemin: hope you're having an enjoyably work-free week! go forth, eat succulent prawns and be merry! :D
