Sushi Groove, Again

November 14th, 2007, Jason

Although my objective whenever I come to KL is to eat something different and try restaurants that I have never try previously, there are bound to be situations where I couldn’t think of anything new or there are no makan kakis to bring me around, I tend to visit the same old restaurants and places again.

And so, Sushi Groove was one of them. Since I have blogged about it before, do click on the link to read a more complete review eating experience at Sushi Groove.

It was my sister, Jamie’s lucky day that she called while May Gin and I were on our way to 1U. Being the kind and awfully nice brother, I went to pick her up so that she could join us for dinner.

We placed our orders and food was served in a nifty. First up, salmon sashimi. Fresh and tender, dipped with a little soy sauce mixed with wasabi. Nice! We also had the spicy beef hamburger, egg with rice. I ordered the same thing during my last visit too. Tasted pretty much the same still, a good sign that they maintain their standard and quality.

The curry chicken rice bibimbab came highly recommended by Nee and I placed my order for this dish the moment I sat down. Heh!

The rice was served with hot stone, burning the rice to create a slightly burned yet crispy “burned rice” (I am pretty sure there’s a specific name for it, but it slipped my mind.). Right in the middle of the rice was a raw egg and chicken cubes, which was meant to be mixed up together. On top of the rice was a kind of fish (柴鱼), that seem to be dancing / moving on top of the rice when it was served.

You need to stir them as soon as possible (before the rice gets too burned), hence, get your camera ready.

I can’t recall what was the sushi’s name but I think it was on the top ten favourites for September 2007. It has cili padis in it but I don’t think its spicy at all. The waiter recommended us this sushi and we bought it. Definitely worth trying out.

We also ordered Godzilla Roll, which was a plate of sushis with shrimps and mangoes, topped with cream cheese on top. Absolutely delicious. Although I couldn’t really taste the shrimp, the flavour and colour combination were unique and eye pleasing respectively.

And definitely, my unagis! I ♥ Unagi! Yes, that is also the name for their unagi sushi. I ♥ Unagi!

Heh!
