Fukusu Sushi, Dataran Sunway Kota Damansara

Fukusu Sushi is a humble sushi restaurant serving affordable and delicious Japanese delicacy located at Dataran Sunway, Kota Damansara. Instead of dining at those popular sushi joint in the malls where you might need to queue for some time to get a seat, do drop by Fukusu Sushi for a change. 

You might be wondering where is this shop located - the same goes for me where I almost got lost locating the shop for the first time.  It is quite easy to navigate to Fukusu Sushi, it's at the 2nd row of shop lot right next to the Neighbourhood Food Court shop lots area or if you know where is the Batu Road Chilli Pan Mee at Dataran Sunway; Fukusu Sushi is located a few shops away from this infamous Pan Mee shop. 

The interior of Fukusu Sushi provides you with a homey yet relaxing atmosphere for a casual Japanese dining experience. Leave your uptight feeling behind - in which you might experience when walking into a renowned or semi-fine dining  Japanese restaurant. The white table and chairs set up in Fukusu Sushi gives a clean and neat impression at your first step. 

The menu at Fukusu Sushi is quite extensive which includes the individual sushi pieces, handrolls, maki rolls, sashimi to hot food such as noodles, rice, teppanyaki, hot pot and so on. And the best part? These delicious food goes light on your pocket that you can come back for more! 

Thanks to Jolie and the team at Fukusu Sushi, I was invited to sample the delicious Japanese food at Fukusu Sushi! Adding one more sushi joint in my list :)

Sushi or sashimi is a must-have when you're dining in a restaurant serving Japanese cuisine. As for me, I love Salmon a lot compared to other raw-protein on the usual sashimi list (raw tuna is a big no for me due to its smell and taste). This Salmon Zukushi Set (RM21.90) is the perfect platter for me because it's all about SALMON. The entire platter itself is very Instagram-worthy; thus do play a bit with your camera before feeding it into your stomach. It consist of Salmon Maki, Salmon Sashimi, Smoked Salmon Sushi and Salmon Mentai Sushi. The Salmon used is very fresh and comes in a generous cut portion. There's a 15pcs of delicate salmon themed sushi on a plate for your to enjoy - and I would recommended to order this platter on a sharing basis to keep some stomach space for other dishes to come. Or just hop to Fukusu Sushi and order this Salmon Set to yourself :)

Next, it's about time for the sushi rolls to take its place on the table. We picked the top two most popular sushi rolls here at Fukusu Sushi. The first one is the Golden SSC Maki (RM15.90) which is actually a Mango Roll Sushi (in our common language when ordering sushi). This is a perfect sushi for mango lovers where the team at Fukusu Sushi hand-picked the best mango available to pair it on the little morsels. The sweet with a hint of sourish taste gives a refreshing feeling with it is eaten together with the sushi rice and the best of the sea as its filling.

I love this Dragon Roll Maki (RM11.90) even more because it's sushi with my favourite - avocado! Everything goes well with avocado especially the Japanese sushi rice. The perfectly ripe avocado is gently placed on top of a maki sushi filled with fried prawns and its condiments. Remember not to remove the little dot of mayonnaise placed on top of the avocado - it taste better with the mayonnaise. It kinda serves as a palate blending agent between the avocado and the sushi rice. Yum!

Besides the selection of sushi, you can also order some fried fritters as your sides. We had this Soft Shell Crab (RM13.90). You will be served with two generous pieces of fried soft shell crabs along with its savoury dipping sauce. It serves as a great snacking dish where the soft shell crab is dipped fried to a semi crunchy state where you can still taste its natural salty  taste in your mouth.

If you're not into soft shell crab, you can order the Ebi Tempura (RM15.90) which is a deep fried prawns coated with the tempura styled batter. Nothing can go wrong with an Ebi Tempura, thus it's a must have on your table.

We also picked this Salmon Kabuto Teriyaki (RM15.90) which is a grilled salmon fish head with teriyaki sauce. Do not judge the salmon fish head from its look - it actually comes with quite a lot of salmon flesh behind the head. Grilled perfectly and goes great with the in-house teriyaki sauce.

Another highlight of our meal is this Chicken Sukiyaki (RM19.90) which is a mini chicken hotpot or steamboat where it comes with a bowl of chicken soup alongside its pairing vegetables, mushrooms, beancurd, an egg and of course the chicken meat.

All you need to do is pour the raw egg into the hot pot and turn on the fire.

When all the ingredients are cooked, it's ready to be consumed! The soup taste great with a hint of sweet taste and the vegetables taste even better too. You may order an extra a bowl of rice to pair it with.

If rice is a must-have dish on your table, do try its Garlic Fried Rice (RM16.90). As the sayings goes, nothing can go wrong with a plate of fried rice and its Garlic Fried Rice comes with its main ingredients - fried garlic, eggs and green onions. It's a perfect pairing with the Chicken Sukiyaki!

And don't forget to have a try on their selection of Ramen too. The KaisenKimichi Ramen (RM22.90) is one of the ramen selection available. What's in the bowl? It's delicious Ramen served with prawns, Japanese fish cakes, little squids, a clam and half Japanese styled egg called nitamago (where the egg yolk is half cooked). And the soup is a kimchi based one but not a strong kimchi based which over-powering the entire dish. Do give it a try.

There's still many other choices of food available on its menu. The dishes at Fukusu Sushi are sold at an affordable price given the generous portion of its food. Do drop by its shop to try it on your own.

CNY 2016: Fortune Salmon Yee Sang at Sakae Sushi Malaysia

Celebrate the brand new Monkey Lunar Year with a modern Japanese twist to it. Instead of the traditional dish-by-dish courses meal, surprise your whole family and friends by bringing them for a feast at your nearest Sakae Sushi outlet.

This exciting 2016 Lunar New Year, Sakae Sushi Malaysia once again brings you its all-time Malaysian favourite Fortune Salmon Yee Sang. Thanks to Sidney Kan and Sakae Sushi Malaysia, I managed to sample their new Chinese New Year 2016 menu at their menu launch which is held at their 1Utama outlet recently. Now, wish to know why their yee sang received thumbs up from its customers who craved for them every year? Yew June, Sakae Sushi Malaysia's General Manager of Marketing shares their winning recipe to their success:

"Year after year, our Fortune Yee Sang remains an all-time favourite among Malaysians and it's easy to tell why. Compared to traditional dishes, it offers an exquisite healthier alternative prepared by our chefs using only the freshest ingredients. Another unique point is the refreshing citrus-infused sauce that is poured over the Yee Sang, which lends it an additional flavoursome edge."



Sakae Sushi Malaysia's Salmon Yee Sang has a refreshing taste to it where you get to taste the crunchiness of fresh vegetables in every bite. Unlike the traditional yee sang which uses over-sweetened pickled vegetables and coloured longitudinal crackers, Sakae Sushi Malaysia's Fortune Salmon Yee Sang only uses luscious and fresh air-flown Norway Salmon and is accompanied with a variety of authentic Japanese ingredients such as seasoned jellyfish, Mekabu seaweed, freshly shredded radish and carrots among others. It is then topped with a unique and appetizing citrus-infused sauce rather than the traditional plum sauce to fully bring out the flavours of the yee sang.

This Fortune Salmon Yee Sang is available in two sizes which are 'Success' and 'Money'. The 'Success' is priced at RM29.98nett (serves 2-3pax) while the 'Money' is priced at RM56.98nett (serves 6-8pax). It is available for both dine-in and take-away. And when you do take-away this yee sang, it is packed in a lovely gift box where you can straight away toss the yee sang when you open the box. The yee sang is placed and packed in a round-shaped plastic container which also serves as a plate to toss your yee sang. It serves as a great gift during the festive and at the same time - providing convenience to your loved ones.

Tossing yee sang in a Japanese restaurant has its own advantage too because your salmon on the yee sang is guaranteed to be fresh due to the fact that fresh salmon is one of its main ingredients which they used in their kitchen for daily operations. Besides that, you can also add-on your all-time favourite Japanese ingredients such as extra Salmon Sashimi (RM12.99nett), Seasoned Scallop (RM6.99nett), Jellyfish (RM6.99nett) and Mekabu Seaweed (RM4.99nett) to the yee sang for an extra kick.

We added extra Salmon Sashimi and Seasoned Scallop to our Money Fortune Salmon Yee Sang. The Yee Sang is that good and we wanted for more after every bite. It's like eating a flavourful yet healthy salad with awesome texture. If you inspect the picture below closely, we requested a ball of wasabi to accompany our yee sang. And the chef at Sakae Sushi crafted a beautiful pineapple shaped wasabi for us.

Well, having yee sang alone as a meal alone is not enough to satisfy your tummy. On a normal occasion, you'll order other items on their menu to complete your meal. This brand new year, Sakae Sushi Malaysia wishes you to have a satisfying meal a an affordable price when you're dining with them. Thus, this Happiness Treasures Combo is introduced to provide a fun-filled, quality and value for money dining experience to its customers.

Priced at RM98nett (serves 6pax), it comes with a Money Fortune Salmon Yee Sang as well as a mouth-watering sushi set. This sushi set consists of Sakae's signature sushi which are Hana Maki, California Hoso Maki, Salmon Sushi, Tamago Sushi, Soft Shell Crab Maki, Kani Salad Inari, Mini Ibi Tempura Sushi, Kappa Maki and Kani Maki. If you're already planning to have the Money Fortune Salmon Yee Sang, just add another RM41.02nett and you can enjoy all these scrumptious sushi in one go. Yum Yum!

If you're not into raw sashimi and prefer some fried stuff, there's another special set which caters for you. Sakae Sushi Malaysia had crafted the Golden Abundance Set for those who loved some tangy yet crunchy texture of food. This Golden Abundance Set is priced at RM49.90nett and consist of the five signature golden offerings which are Soft Shell Crab, Mini Ibi Tempura, Itoyoridai Katsu, Fried Hotate and Tempura Kani. It is served along with a spicy mayonnaise sauce to balance out your palate.

When you're dining at Sakae Sushi Malaysia this festive season, be sure to order some of their signature dishes too. A fish dish is a must-have in all our Chinese New Year meal because it symbolises the surplus of prosperity that we have every year and is associated with this Chinese sayings of  年年有鱼. You too can enjoy some dishes which are associated with this sayings at Sakae Sushi Malaysia because they offers plenty of 'fish' dishes. Being a reputable Japanese restaurant, they served many signature salmon fish dishes. For a modern twist to your brand new year, have some salmon dishes too during this festive season.

For a perfect combination of salmon and cheese in one bite, the Salmon Cheese Roll is a great choice. Priced at RM16.99nett, it comes with 4pcs of heavenly combined elements. The fresh salmon sashimi is wrapped with a thin crepe together with equal sizes of cucumber, tamago (Japanese omelette) as well as crabstick. It is then topped with a slice of creamy torched cheese and sufficient amount of spicy mayonnaise. The fresh salmon sashimi goes great with the cheese and spicy mayonnaise while the cucumber, egg and crabstick balance out the strong fishy and creamy taste of the other two elements as well as brings some crunchy texture to your palate.

Not a fan of raw food? There's always dishes cater to you at Sakae Sushi Malaysia. The Salmon Kabuto Nabe is a hearty Japanese hotpot which comes with fried succulent Salmon head, assorted mushrooms and vegetables in some flavoursome broth. This awesome dish is priced at RM19.99nett and its rich soup will amaze you. Don't judge the dish by its 'salmon head' as one of the ingredients because there's more salmon meat that you can imagine in this soup. Unlike the usual fish head soup which you had experienced before, you'll be guaranteed that there's a high ratio of salmon fish meat in the soup to its empty bony fish head. From the hotpot which we had, there's like at least 4 huge pieces of salmon fish meat in it. It's a great deal and I'll come back for more!

Another signature salmon dish that you need to try is the Salmon Mentaiyaki where its meaty salmon is grilled to perfection and topped with torched cod fish roe. I love the cod fish roe because it's rich in 'sea flavour' and has a strong savory and cheese taste to it. It is priced at RM18.99nett and don't forget the grilled salmon skin which comes with it.

If you love their cod fish roe, be sure to try the Hotate Mentaiyaki dish where the giant half shelled scallops is grilled and top with my favourite topping - the torched cod fish roe. Probably because it's being torched that the fish roe is semi melted and 'cooked' which brings out the awesomeness of it. It is priced at RM10.99 and comes with two giant half shelled scallops.

 I always end my meal with a sweet endings and we had the Karinto Manjyu with Matcha Ice-cream (RM11.99nett) as a dessert. This is a Japanese dessert where it comes with a Japanese cake filled with red beans and a generous scope of real Matcha ice-cream. I think I enjoyed the Matcha ice-cream more than the Japanese cake because I prefer a more airy cake. Overall, it's good :)

Tanuki Raw, Orchard Central Singapore

I were at Singapore again last week for some restaurant hopping and catching up with my BFF, Sean. It was a fruitful trip as I managed to sample some delicious food plus catching up with old friend. Singapore is so near to Malaysia that you basically can fly there every week :P

Orchard Central is quite a new shopping mall along Orchard road in Singapore. My bff brought me to this delicious Japanese place called Tanuki Raw. They served fresh and premium Japanese food where they take their raw food seriously and heavenly I would say.

They have indoor and outdoor seating and we were at the outdoor sofa seating as there's ample light for an Instagram worthy picture. Another reason I love this place is that they do have 'lunch menu' or what we called 'lunch set' here on weekend. A lunch set on weekend? I rarely see that back in my own country - normal lunch set are only valid for Monday to Friday.

Their affordable lunch menu starts from 12SGD is available daily from 11.30am to 3pm. And you can opt for a complete set of drinks, salad and miso soup at 2SGD (if I'm not mistaken - or is it 3 SGD?).

Salmon Don

 Their Salmon Don comes with perfectly cuts of raw salmon, little ikura (fish roe) on a bed of healthy sushi rice. Their salmon is fresh and one word - Oishii.

Chirashi Don

 If you love premium sashimi, you gotta try their signature Tanuki Raw Chirashi Don. You can get all your beloved sashimi in one bowl. Be prepared to feast on premium cuts such as tuna, salmon, seabream, swordfish, scallop and salmon roe on a bed of sushi rice.

I'm lovin this place. Must thanks my bff for this lovely lunch. The next time you're dropping by Orchard road; be sure to visit this place! The nearest MRT station is Somerset which is connected to Orchard Central mall.

 Healthy, delicious yet affordable lunch at Orchard road ~ only at Tanuki Bar.
