Senjyu Sushi..

Today Vince and me decided to head off for a day out at the cinema since it has been some time we were last at the cinema (No..not so long also. Our last movie was er..Sniper by Edison Chen..Haha..Lots of excuses we have). So after a few days of being not able to get hold of tickets for "Angel & Demons" today was our lucky day. We manage to grab 2 seats for the 3.20pm show at Sunway Pyramid. As we arrived at Sunway Pyramid during noon, the place was already packed and finding a parking is damn bloody hard even the valet parkings are fully occupied. No luck so just go scouting for a parking. All of a sudden, "Hubby..the light there is green..". So being the rempit kaki he rempit all the way to the parking only to hear me cursing. No you guys guessed wrong. The parking space was not taken. Light was still green. But there's a bloody car parked so bloody inside the front of the car's bout to kiss the wall in front of it thus causing the light to remain green. Damn!! Can't help cursing~~
But god does love me and just as we were bout to scount somewhere else we heard the beloved "beep beep" sound. The sound of someone unlocking the car. Turn the right. YEAH!! someone's leaving. Being the gan chiong aunty type i quickly say "Lou gong..faster..signal signal". Haha. Yeah~~ Got parking. When we arrived at the retail podium it was so crowded. What to do..weekend ma... So as usual we think "So what to eat??". Again being the aunty I suggested "Eh..I got Senjyu Sushi voucher..we go there la. Can save money also." Then we headed there. Hoho. 2nd time there. I like it there. It's got a nice enviroment.
The food is nice also. We decided to just grab the items from the convenyor belt. Ordered handrolls and also a Kimchi Beef noodle for Vince (last time we tried the salmon don..didn't like it that much). I opted for the soft shell crab handroll while Rempit Kaki went for the salmon & salmon roe..The soft shell crab was great. The funny thing is the shop was rupervisor served us our handrolls. He must have noticed I was snapping every single thing before looking into them as if inspecting for traces of poison so he turned back to our table and told me "I think it's better you eat the soft shell crab handroll first before it gets cold, cos when it's cold it's not nice. I feel it's geli. I tried it before. You eat the handroll first." So i thanked him for his advise and started attacking my handroll. It was really crunchy. Liked it to every bit. Yummy~~I almost wanted another one until Vince looked at me with me "HOW TO KURUS LIKE TAT"look. Oo..warning. So I hold back. Haha. Thank you lou gong. Hahahahah..They have this other soft shell crab thingy which was nice..even had crab roe in it..Slurps~~ Kimchi beed noodle was great also. The next time I go there I wanna try the Beef Sukiyaki. Looks nice. Hehe.
Soft Shell Crab Handroll

Salmon & Salmon Roe Handroll

Don't know what it's called but has got fried soft shell crab & crab roe. (Quite costly though. RM10.00 for 2 biji. Good thing Rempit Kaki can't bring himself to eat soft shell crab due to the way they were breed so I had it all for myself. It's good I told him the story of how they cut off all the crabs legs forcing them to change their skin thus becoming all soft..)


Don't know what is this. But I think it's something similar to California Maki but replaced the Ebiko with egg crepe and crab stick with salmon .

Kimchi Beef Soba (Suppose to be Udon. But I didn't like Udon so tricked Vince into changing to soba)

Quite a number of plates. Food was good. But lil pricy though..but still worth it.
After discount, the total bill came to bout RM50+. Still okie le.Hehe. Cos no need me to pay ma. Hehe. Thanks for lunch ya lou gong. Hehe.

Almost sneaked off with this while paying. Haha. No le..Just think it's cute.

Pasta Zanmai @ 1 Utama

Over the weekend, after completing the final touch ups of the room paint, Vince and me decided to head out for a hearty meal to award ourselves. Due to some cravings for pasta, I was pouncing around telling Vince to bring me to Pasta Zanmai and he agreed. ~Slurp~ Pasta Zanmai had such a small entrance and if it wasn’t for Shojikiya I would’ve just passed by without noticing. At the entrance both of us browsed through the menu and he nodded away agreeing to whatever I wish to eat. Hehe. Thank you lou gong..Muaxx~~ The area was quite small (probably only able to cater for less than 30) as it was tucked behind Shojikiya (the Japanese grocery store) but the place was cozy and quiet. Since both of us were almost starving we decided to go for pasta, rice and pizza. Also as usual, I could never ever say no to handrolls so I went for the usual soft shell crab handroll and Vince went for the smoked salmon handroll. They provide an option for the handroll to go with either seaweed or tortilla wrap. Both of us went for the standard seaweed wrap. Probably try the tortilla wrap the next visit. There were so many different pastas for us to choose from and they all look so delicious. So we skipped the pasta choice first and went to rice section. The variety of rice was much less and Vince was immediately attracted to one of the pictures, the meat sauce omelette rice. There wasn’t much variety of pizza as well but there was this picture of the pizza with prawn topping and being prawn lovers we need not think much and made our decision. Then we went back to the variety of pastas. There was this short clam and mushroom soup pasta that seemed very yummy and was quite keen to try but the sesame sauce pastas seem to attract me more so I decided we should go for the ebi tempura pasta with sesame sauce. As for the drinks, Vince wanted to try out the Simply Strawberry (smoothie) while I wanted the Iced Fruit Tea. Unfortunately, the smoothie was out of stock thus we went for a jug of Iced Fruit Tea instead.

Meat Sauce Omelette Rice

The tomato rice inside was actually quite nice when ate together with the egg and the sauce. But after several mouthful, we soon feel we had too much tomato but we still ended up gobbling down everything.

Ebi Tempura Pasta with Sesame Sauce Set (Set comes with Miso Soup & Salad)

Black & White Sesame

I gotta admit this was one of the best pasta I had ever tasted. The sesame blends nicely with the cream based sauce and every mouth is full of wonders and the pasta texture is nice not over cooked or too raw. Can't wait for the next visit to try out their other pastas. The salad and miso soup was just average.

Ebi Pizza. Ways to eat it : (1) Either with the chopsticks (2) just use your hands

Pizza was not too bad. Toppings consists of something I suppose it's squid, Jap rice cake, prawns, mushrooms (lots of diff mushrooms) and cheese. Was quite yummy but Vince found the mushroom taste too raw for his likings.

Jug of Iced Fruit Tea

My favourite drink at Pasta Zanmai. Will only settle for this drink at every chance I get to enter the shop.

Initially, we wanted to go for dessert when we saw the desserts menu, but there don't seem to be any more room left in our tummies for dessert. And as usual at the end of the meal we look at each other and ask "HOW TO KURUS LIKE THAT??" and the roar out in laughter..Haha. Sigh...I don't know how I can lose weight this way. Haha.
