Yummy Food

Sake Sushi
He and I went to The Curve a few weeks ago and I decided that we should try something new for dinner. I always loved sushi and japanese food. Well of course it tastes wonderful but I always suspect that it’s because it’s just so easy to eat them. :D Anyway, we decided to try Sakae Sushi as it’s been quite a long time I had japanese food & the restaurant looks interesting.

Soft Shell Crab
So we went in and have a look at the menu, the food really looks delicious. The waitress told us that we can browse the online menu and order food from the computer terminal, quite cool eh. ;) We ordered green tea & some premium sushi. The green tea is in tea bag form, unlike Genki Sushi’s , it actually taste fine. We tried the sushi & decided that that’s not enough, so I browsed for more food and ordered somemore. The sushi plates’ price range from RM1.99 & above. They are a few types of sushi that are priced at RM1.99 including salmon sushi. And that’s really cheap if you ask me. Then there’s this Soft Shell Crab that tastes delicious, we tried potato salad & it’s not bad too. I ordered some salmon & salmon skin dishes and he asked for garlic fried rice. The salmon was good and he decided that the fried rice could have been the best he tasted so far. :) If I’m not mistaken, I think sakae means salmon, maybe that’s the reason why there’re so many nicely priced salmon dishes. By the way, from their website, I’m guessing this restaurant started in Singapore. Anyway I had a really good time at that place & we think we’ll go there again next time.

Went to The Curve again next weekend after that and tried another restaurant called Winter Warmers. Heard that they have outlets in Penang, but it’s been such a long time since I got back that I have no idea there’s one there. :( Might as well give it a try then. The deco looks victorian, that’s for sure, with all the cupboards & china ware. And they keep playing the same quite-ok-musical-tune over & over again. Luckily the song isn’t annoying tho. We ordered a set that includes Chicken Waffle, a pot of ceylon tea & deserts and iced vanilla blend. Both the drinks were great, the vanilla tasted wonderful & not like vanilla milk shake. The waffle din taste funny as I thought it would, there were minced chicken meat, mini cucumber cubes and tomato sauce. The waffle is really different from those we usually eat.

So that’s the dining experience that I had in The Curve, looking forward for more there & elsewhere. :)
