Suki Sushi- SHAW PLAZA

This is my first time creating a food blog. he he inspired by many other food blogger. And the first post belong to SUKI SUSHI!! Ate the dinner buffet at suki sushi shaw plaza just yesterday. Cost me around $26.00++?? Is quite reasonable for me and I felt so full afterward. It is an international buffet. It serves sashimi, assorted sushi, seafood, fried items, dim sums, hot sections, desserts, grilled items, paper steamboat, hotplate and local delights such as laksa.



starting from the bottom right hand corner clockwise, is the Thai salad, then the lobster with potato salad, the spaghetti salad and the crab-stick and asparagus salad. I love the Thai salad the most. It is very refreshing and the prawns and the squids are very fresh. It have the hint of the Thai's spice in it that I love very much. The lobster with potato salad is not that great. It is too dry and I can't taste the lobster. The potato are very rough in texture and makes it very hard to swallow. the spaghetti salad has a very weird taste in it. I think is because of the sauce they use. And the spaghetti is too soggy, I guess because it have been left in the open for quite a long time. However, the worst one is definitely the crab-stick and asparagus salad. the dressings used has a a very strong and overpowering taste of milk. is not mayo but milk!! I felt so nauseous after eating it.



then I tried the sashimi. Fist is the salmon and maguro. I love it!! It is so fresh and they cut it thickly. The squid is my favorite. Chewy, light and refreshing. good for a starter option. However, the sword-tail sashimi is not as fresh as the other sashimi and is quite a disappointment to me.



Next, I had the cold tofu. I forgotten to take the sauce for the cold tofu and eat it just like that. but surprisingly, it is good even without the sauce. The tofu is hard and firm and with the bonito flakes, it gives the tofu a bit of the salty taste. Opens up your appetite for the next round.



Then is the udon. The udon is the worst dish of the night. Even with the sauce, the udon still taste bad. no taste at all. And the udon is not springy at all. it may be because it is left on the counter for too long. I only manage to eat a mouthful of it and throw away the rest.




Then, after that, I had their chili foods. HA-HA everything is red. Starting from the kimchi rice clockwise, I also had the sambal fish, sambal squid and spicy rice cake. The kimchi fried rice and the sambal fish was so-so. Nothing to talk about. Is not bad but is not great either. the sambal squid, however, is nice!! I guess the chefs here did well in the squids. I practically like all of their squid dishes. ha-ha. the spice is just right and the squid is very nice to chew. However, the spicy rice cake on the other hand, is not that good. It is too oily as you can see a layer of oil when you scoop it up. And it is not as chewy as the one I had in Korea. Quite a big disappointment.



Then I had their fried stuffs. The tako ball is the worst dish in that plate. No hint of tako at all. and the fillings are disgusting, so mushy and wet. And sadly, they did not even provide us with the tako sauce and condiments. The breaded tempura prawn and fried battered prawn is nice!! I like it, The prawn is delicious and crunchy but not oily. Love it. but the best and highlight on the plate is the prawn crepe salad. it is chewy and crunchy and even without and condiments, I can feel a hint of egg put into it and the taste of the prawn. I love it so much that I ate a second serving of that.



Then I went to their dim sums and hot sections. It is pathetic and the food does not look appetizing at all. So, I only grab a few. I do not like the otah as it is tasteless and is fry. But, I like the teriyaki chicken, the kue pue teeh (something like that) and the durian steamed bun. The chicken is tender and not oily. The teriyaki sauce is just right too, not too sweet like other Japanese restaurant. The kue pue teeh is very nice. I do not like popiah but I love this. It is crunchy and the chili add another dimension to the food. And of course, durian steamed bun! I like it! the bun is soft and there is enough durian inside it for me to taste it.





After that is time for dessert! (first picture) Durian puff is nice and and durian penyet too. One of my favorite durian penyet here. But the mochi mousse and strawberry parfait is just disgusting, Taste weird and the texture too. (2nd picture) Then I had the chocolate tart, the durian crepe. pulut hitam cake, chocolate truffle and the green tea durian cake. The chocolate tart is nice but the more I eat it, the more sick I got, too much chocolate! Chocolate truffle and green tea durian is nice too. Light and does not make you feel sick. But the pulut hitam cake is tasteless and grainy. And the durian crepe is so soggy that I can't even taste the durian. Great disappointment

Overall, there is a few hit and misses in the buffet. But for the price, I think it is really worth it to try out. Especially with the prawn crepe. Thai salad and the sashimi there. I did not try their beef as I do not eat beef. Too bad, but think it will be nice since I saw many people ordering it.
