Teriyaki Chicken Burger at MOS Burger

During her previous trip to Singapore, Superhero S was introduced to this really delicious and unique burger (in the eyes of poor Malaysians like the two superheroes who do not get to taste it back home in Malaysia *sweats*) called MOS Burger!



Short for "Mountain Ocean Sun" (MOS), it's a fast food chain restaurant from Japan that offers some really yummylicious burgers for a change. Not just your ordinary Filet '0' Fish or McChicken fare, they have selections such as Teriyaki Chicken and their unique Rice Burgers as well as the Natsumi "burger"s. Yeah, "burgers" where their buns have been replaced by lettuce instead! Good for those who wish to do without the carbs... Haha. :p

the Natsumi Teriyaki Chicken...

And it was then that after our little snack fest at Ang Mo Kio Hub that we managed to stumble upon a MOS Burger outlet. I quickly told Superhero W that he MUST NOT miss it!! Haha... I've tried the Natsumi Teriyaki Chicken (priced at $3.35) during my previous trip, but since Superhero W is not such a lettuce hero, we decided to share a Teriyaki Chicken Burger this time around.



Also $3.35, the burger is absolutely DELICIOUS!!! Nice chunk of smooth teriyaki chicken, along with some really fresh lettuce! Yes...not those limp, no-longer-green lettuces from the golden arches. Ewww.... This one is really crunchy and green! Haha... *grins*





Though a tad smaller than normal burgers, the taste is what you're really paying for I suppose. We would've very much wanted to try their signature Rice Burgers too... but tummy wasn't too helpful because it was already on the verge of exploding! Haha... Too much foodie for one day. Think McDonald's Sausage McMuffin with Egg at 6 a.m., then Beef Noodles at 10 a.m., then a good streak of snack fest around noon, and then MOS Burger around 2 p.m. *on the verge of vomitting....* Haha... :p

Rice Burger promo...

Short of stuffing ourselves to the verge of being repulsive towards food, we were nevertheless set for MORE foodie for dinner at Food Republic, Wisma Atria... NEXT!

Sushi Zanmai at The Gardens, Midvalley

Just having found out from Bernsy that there is another seemingly yummylicious Japanese foodie restaurant in The Gardens besides our favourite Sushi Zen, the two superheroes and Superhero S's sister, Winnie flew there right away for a smashing dinner time! Haha. *drools..*

And since we're all not entirely familiar with The Gardens, it took us a wee bit time to locate our Sushi Zanmai's hideout. O...where art thou??




With some luck, we somehow found ourselves walking straight towards it. Located just next to the Borders bookshop, Sushi Zanmai really has very classy decorations. And mind you, this place is entirely packed even on a weekday! Must be really not bad woh... :p

We found ourselves a nice, comfy seat at the back corner of the restaurant. As we passed by the other tables while making our way into our seat, we couldn't help but notice all the super delicious foodie on other people's tables. WOW... Cannot wait to try the food here!! Haha. *grins*




Very nice ambience, perfectly set up with chic lightings and super comfy sofa seats. So comfy that our butts got superglued the instant we sat on it. The menu was ridiculously extensive. So many things!!! Which to order? And then there's also the foodie on the conveyor belt! OMG. *starts to panic!* Haha.




In the end, all of us settled for our favourite orders and chatted happily while waiting for the yummylicious food. You can actually see the chefs in action behind a transparent glass over at the right hand corner when entering the restaurant. Cool woh... Haha. But we were all too engrossed with chatting and helping ourselves to the unlimited supply of refreshing Green Tea that the waiter kept refilling for us. More, please...




The food came pretty fast really, and the first order to grace our table was the Kanimayo sushi, in other words, Crabmeat Mayonnaise Rolls priced at RM4.80!! We ordered this so that we can make a fair comparison with our favourite Sushi Zen's offering. And surprise surprise...hate to say this but the ones here are....




BETTER woh!! OMG...?! Both are equally enticing to eat, very delicious, very fresh and almost has the same presentation and taste. But...but... the ones here at Sushi Zanmai has this slightly unique burst of coldness when you eat it. OH... I love it love it love it LOVE IT!




And then came Superhero S's Chicken Katsu Udon priced at RM8.80, which is really a bowl of Udon with seaweed and Fried Chicken Chop with salad. Haha. Fantastic! Very big portion of the chicky and I couldn't finish it alone. Had to give away half of it to Superhero W. Haha. Very nice combi really, and love the super crispy fried chicken. Superb ah!



Next was Winnie's Beef Udon.




She added lots of chilli flakes into it because she said it makes the dish taste better. And I tried a mouthful of the Beef Udon and it was very delicious indeed! The beef were layered thinly but the serving was relatively large for a medium order. Good...




Superhero W's large Ebidon, which was sticky rice topped with an extremely large portion of Tempura with Egg. There were like 4-5 big big tempuras on his bowl. So worth it! Priced at RM15.80, I'm sure Superhero W had a nice fulfilling meal that night...

And just when you think that's about it...there's actually MORE!!




Agedashi Tofu, very very smooth and it comes along with a sauce that tasted like Miso soup or something.

And loads of Sushi....!




Salmon Ikura, Chuka Iidako, Inari, Tamago and Salmon -- all in pairs! Haha. Yeah, one for you and one for me... *super grin*

All in all, the bill came to us at RM76. Very worth it! Will definitely make our way back here all thanks to the excellent food, top service (thanks for refilling our tea over and over and....again!), and cool ambience. Simply fantastic! And it wasn't the end of the night just yet... But we'll leave that for our next post, ok? :p

Oh and when we googled Sushi Zanmai the other day, we found out that KY has also previously written about the Sushi Zanmai at Sunway Pyramid. Go check it out!

P/S: We apologize for the yellowish texture to all our photos here. Haha. The dim, romantic lighting there wasn't helping our low-end camera phone. :p

Hwah...drool over this big big UNAGI!

The two superheroes are on a current craze over Japanese foodie. Haha. After a sumptuous meal at Genki Sushi, the two decided to head over to their favourite haunt for the best Japanese foodie at Sushi Zen, the Gardens.

We were there to meet up a good buddy of Superhero S's, Serine. Since she's a Japanese foodie fanatic as well, I figured that Sushi Zen would be a nice place to introduce her to great meal of sushis, bentos and udons. Sushi Zen is a specialist when it comes to their bentos and udons. Even their sushis are all custom-made fresh when you place your orders. Talk about exclusivity! :p

Superhero S ordered her Nabeyaki Udon and Temaki Set which comes with the absolutely delicious chawanmushi and 2 freshly-made handrolls, Californian and Salmon roll. Priced at RM22, this set is very very worth it due to its humongous portion! Can share share with 2 persons okay!?

MmmMMMmm....... try it. It's good!

Superhero W however decided to feast on the Unagi bento this time around.

And Sushi Zen never fails to deliver. Big BIG unagi for the bento!!!! Hwah!!! So soft and succulent. Sweet and moist. OH! *drools...!* Thumbs up! And it's priced at somewhere around RM13+ if we're not mistaken.

Love every meal at Sushi Zen! We'll be back again, and again... and AGAIN! Haha. :p

Cooking Sambal Prawn with Petai

Superhero Mum bought some petai (smelly green bean thingee) for the two superheroes to bring back to KL over the weekend. Knowing that the smelly petai is Superhero S's favourite, she got me a whole bunch from the pasar malam at RM3.

Expensive huh. Haha. Never mind, expensive but I likeeeee..... :p

Since Superhero W has been such a sweetie for bringing me to Genki Sushi for a nice Japanese fast food, I decided to cook him a nice meal to pamper his expanding waistline. Now he looks like a pregnant superhero. Haha.

So here comes Sambal Prawn with Petai in the making. Superhero W decided to take candid snapshots while I was busy preparing the ingredients for the meal. There's the petai, the prawn, the finely-chopped garlic and dried shrimps to complement the sambal.

Ta-da! Sambal Prawn with Petai. My first attempt. *blushing*

A lot of petai huh?? Oh... I can't wait for my fart and my pee to smell of petai! *grins devilishly* I just realized that the petai is in fact more expensive than the prawns! Got the prawns at RM1.15 from Tesco. :p

So what else was on the menu? Stir-fried chinese cabbage with Japanese choy sum. I put in some additional abalone mushrooms, anchovies and ginger for that extra kick. :p

Think it's a strange combi, cabbage and choy sum? No choice lah. This is the only way to get Superhero W to eat some green vegetables. *wink*

And finally there's the traditional Baked Beans with LOTSA Eggs. OH I love eggs. :p

Superhero W loved the Sambal Petai with Prawns to the max. He even learnt how to eat petai for the first time! Haha. And now he's complaining how his sh!t even smells of petai. Hmmph. Haha.

erk.. who are they? hehehe..

And a meal's never complete without our favourite 7-up Revive! Look who's hiding behind the Revive! Haha. :p

*burp* And the two superheroes are once again feeling full and contented. We can now fly away happily. :p

Genki Sushi at Suria KLCC

With Superhero S feeling sickly yesterday, Superhero W decided to bring her for some yummylicious Japanese foodie at Suria KLCC. Haha. A little good foodie a day, goes a long long way to pamper the girl (and tummy!) :p




So the two superheroes were off to KLCC to indulge in Genki Sushi, the Japanese fast food chain a la Sakae Sushi and Sushi King with the conveyor belt style. Superhero S immediately sparkled when she saw the belt full of moving assorted sushis. OH... my heaven! Haha. *grins*





We both shared a Kaki Aage Udon which is a 100% vegetarian Udon. Yup, no tempura, no chicky bits unlike Superhero S's favourite Nabeyaki Udon at Sushi Zen. This time around, we just preferred to have something less stimulating than the Nabeyaki. Haha. Something mild will do. :p




While waiting for the Udon to arrive, we feasted on the assorted sushis on the belt. Superhero W immediately caught eye of his favourite Inari or sweet beancurd and took it off the belt onto our table. Hwah. You guys never saw how fast his hands were. I just turned my head to the right and left again, the table is already full with 4 dishes. Superpower hands. *wink*





Drool, baby drool...




What we love about Genki is the relatively large portion of their sushis. Though just slightly more pricier (by RM0.10) than Sakae's, with the cheapest at RM2, then RM4 and finally RM6, the portion of the sushi is definitely larger. The Inari in particular, was packed with rice!! OMG. So filling.





And of course, the self-service green tea powder. Drink all you want. It's all yours! Haha. :p




Since we weren't as hungry as we were when eating Sakae Sushi at Bangsar Village II, we didn't order that much. Learnt not to be greedy to avoid feeling like the tummy's gonna burst!

Overall, it's a pretty satisfying experience at Genki. Reasonably priced, large portion and nice ambience. Even their wasabi is very keng. Got stung twice by the wasabi. *sweats*. But we'll definitely be back! Or maybe we should try out Nippon Tei right next door to Genki uh? Anyone tried Nippon Tei before?? :p
