Maiu offers one of the Klang Valley's best value-for-money deals for Japanese food, with an "a la carte buffet" that costs a mere RM38.80++.
The selection includes salmon, tuna, white tuna & squid sashimi, served to order.
Marinated baby octopus & tobiko salad, all tasting as decent as can be expected.
Loved the fried tofu _ crisp on the exterior, but meltingly soft within.
Soft-shell crab maki. Not stuffed with too much rice, thankfully.
Prawn sashimi. Yep, all the basic dishes in Japanese cuisine are available, except eel.
Skewered green pepper & beef, freshly prepared. Order as many times as you like.
Soft-shell crab & surimi tempura, crisp and not overly oily.
Tempura moriawase, with reasonably juicy prawns as the highlight.
Small fish: shishamo.
Big fish: saba. This buffet is available at Maiu's Damansara Perdana & Sri Petaling branches.
Crispy chicken katsu with raw egg dip. Banish those salmonella poisoning fears.
More chicken & egg, this one steamed with rice. Marvelously moreish.
Green tea ice cream & wasabi ice cream (way too much wasabi in this one!).

Adam: heh, no booze, just to concentrate on the grub! :D but yeah, for this price, it's sure worth checking out =)
ReplyDeleteWonder if the quality is d same for their Sri Petaling branch?...hmmmm...
ReplyDeletei love raw eggs too but can't eat too much of that now due to acne. :(
ReplyDeleteWah so reasonably priced!! Most Japanese places already charge RM12 for ice-cream!
ReplyDeleteUlric: I'm betting it'd be the same! Though I've driven past a few times, and it looks packed for dinner =)
ReplyDeleteMichelle: oooh, sorry to hear that. I actually didn't realize there's a connection between eggs and skin...
Baby sumo: Yeah, I'm not sure how much profit they can actually make from charging so little! Maybe RM15 profit on average per person...
Haha they probably won't make much if I pay them a visit :P Planning to visit the Sri Petaling branch :D
ReplyDeleteBaby sumo: heh, I actually live in Sri petaling, but I rarely eat in this area, since it's far from my workplace and most of my dinnermates :D
ReplyDeletewow that's a very good deal. And I love the looks of that tofu.
ReplyDeleteEiling: ya, I think I enjoyed the tofu more than the sashimi! :D
ReplyDeleteWoohoo...going to their Sri Petaling this Sun for their lunch buffet :D
ReplyDeleteUlric: heheh, as long as you make reservations, should be no prob. Have fun! :D
ReplyDeleteYes...reservation aredi made...hopefully my tummy is up to it tat day :P
ReplyDeleteUlric: heh, just hit rm40 worth should be sufficient =)
ReplyDeleteHey Sean, do you think it's really nice??
ReplyDeleteZying: it's ok for the price, but the food tastes just average =)
