Sushi Zanmai, we're Coming!

Sushi zanmai is a Japanese restaurant which is situated at Sunway Pyramid. When we reached the restaurant, we stand  in the queue outside the restaurant.  This is because, there were none of the waiters could translate the Japanese language into English . We felt that we had been  and we felt upset.

After 10 minutes, the service staff led us to our seats. When we first stepped into the restaurant, the first scene came into our eyes is the conveyor belt which is full of variety of sushi. And, in the middle of the conveyor belt has a kitchen. The kitchen is surrounded by transparent glass. So, customers could saw the chef  in the process making sushi through the transparent glass.

Unfortunately , we didn’t sit around the conveyor belt, so we could  only ordered the sushi from the menu instead. The sushi dishes were actually very good in taste . Fresh sushi all the time from Sushi Zanmai and their reasonable price had attracted us.

Because of we were eating a Japanese food, so we all ordered Ocha(green tea) as our drinks.  Each Ocha cost RM1.00. We love their green tea. The green tea is very rich in taste, smooth to drink, and it is refillable!

And, our member, Kelly Chong would like to try the Kabiage Don (RM8.80 small).  It is rice that has included fried prawn and vegetable.  After Kelly had finished this dish, she leaved a comment that the sauce in the rice is very tasty and the prawns is really crispy.  

We were also ordered a Unagi Okonomiyaki (RM12.80).  It is a roasted eel japanese pancake.  The size of this pancake is a bit small, but after we ate, we found that Unagi Okonomiyaki was delectable! We were really enjoying.  And, at the last, everyone was grabbing to eat the last piece.

At the same time, Shean was eating the Chicken Karage Don (RM8.80 Small)

It had  rice that has included fried chicken and onion.  The fried chicken and union are covered with sweet and salty source. Shean likes it so much and believed it could  be accepted by every people. 

Ika sugatayaki (RM13.80).  It is a grilled squid. The Ika sugatayaki was supposedly appetizer. The squeeze of lemon really brought out the flavor in the squid - the scent of sea.

Ebi Mentaiyaki (RM12.80).  It is a prawn grilled with cold roe.  Add the lemon on the prawn had made the dished very delicious.  But the price for this dish is a little bit expensive for student.  So, we are not recommend student to try Ebi Mentaiyaki.

Dai Dai Roll (RM12.80).  It is a spicy crabmeat sushi roll topped with salmon and shrimproe.  The chefs put some mayonnaise on the sushi make the sushi taste better.  And, we love the salmon, it is quite fresh, we like it so much!

Edamame (RM3.80).  It is a boiled green soybean.  It's tasted a bit sweet and crispy.  Actually Edamame is  very common in Japan, it just like a snack before people taking their meal.

Sakura (RM4.80).  This is a hand-rolling sushi.  It is include salmon and cucumber.  It tastes very nice and the size is suitable to hold.  Neither small nor too big.

We have some trouble looking for this restaurant in Sunway Pyramid and the information kiosk wasn’t a great help. So, the easiest way to locate it is to look for Kim Gary because Sushi Zanmai is just on top of it. The environment of this restaurant is quite good, clear and comfortable. 

In conclusion, we really satisfied and enjoyed with the foods and environment, but the service was terrible.  They served food very slow and the waiter served the wrong food for us. Fortunately, we took our lunch in Sushi Zanmai after classes, so we didn't need to take our food so rush.  But, because of the reasonable price and good environment, we are still recommend people to have their food there, if you have no work that day :p

ZenQ~ It's time for DESSERT!

It‘s time for dessert !!

  “ Where should we go ? “

Dessert, dessert, dessert.........  ZenQ dessert!!!

We (Chiaw Ching and Kelly Chong) had suggested ZenQ Dessert. After the group discussion, our group members agreed to go to  ZenQ Dessert  for the dessert time! Wow, we felt so excited and decided to choose ZenQ dessert as the title for our blog writing.

  On 30^th of April, it was a school break and we decided to go to ZenQ Dessert that located at Sunway Pyramid. ZenQ Dessert is a new shop that opened recently at there but business was quite good. There were a lot of people stand in queue and waiting for their turn in order to make their ordered. We had to walk to the counter and stand in queue to make our order since it is a self-service basis for order only.

  When it’s our turn to order, the cashier greeted “欢迎光临 (Huan Ying Guang Lin)” politely to us which means welcome in Mandarin. The workers were trained to smile at the customer as the words always said " Customer Right". Sincerely , the service was good and we were satisfied with it. This could be shown as the worker kindly explained and promoted the desserts to us.

  There are many types of desserts which offered appetising traditional handmade Taiwanese desserts such as Grass Jelly Series, Red Bean Series, Barley Series, Shaved Ice Series, Iced Tea Series and Toast Series. We decided to order 3 ZenQ Signature, 1 Pearl Red Bean Soup and 1 Q Yuan Red Bean Soup. After chosen our dessert, we made our payment and the total payment were  RM32.50. There was no service charged and government charged. The prices of dessert are still reasonable and acceptable.We were given a voucher from the cashier after we paid the payment. That was great!

  We found a comfortable place to sit  and waited patiently  for our orders. The place was elegant furnished and peaceful. The shop had used the colour of green as the background colour that would benefit the customers. Based on the scientific investigation, green colour could help to relax our mind and reduced the power of short-sightedness. We felt relax and enjoyed these peaceful  environment. We can see that ZenQ's workers were really helpful and hardworking.  While waiting for the dessert, we had a long chat within group members about our college life. When the dessert were ready to be eaten, we stopped chatting and tried different dessert that we had ordered. Wow, it tasted good. It made us inspired of their creativity. The desserts were so attractive and delicateness. We're in love with those desserts.

  ZenQ Signature was the famous dessert in ZenQ. This bowl of dessert contained shaved ice, taro balls, grass jelly, crystal noodles and pearls. You can choose different flavour of shaved ice such as grass jelly, green tea and soya. It was a very nice, big  and cooling dessert. Besides, Q Yuan (taro balls) had different colour that made from different ingredient and had different flavour. Orange is sweet potato, white is yam, green is green tea. It costs RM6.90 each. We think that this price is reasonable to everyone especially for colleagues.

  For Pearl Red Bean and Q Yuan Red Bean, they seemed alike except one with pearl and another one only have Q Yuan. The red beans were nothing special for us compared to other places. The toppings were tempt us.  The sugar level was just right for us, wasn’t too sweet. Both of them are same prices which costs RM5.90 each.

  After we finish our desserts, is time for us to go home. When we stepped out the entrance of the dessert place, all the staffs greeted “谢谢光临 (Xie Xie Guang Lin)” which means thank you for coming in Mandarin. We felt that we had been respected and promised to come again.

  In a nutshell, we think that ZenQ Dessert is a  suitable place to have desserts for everyone. This is because the prices are reasonable and affordable for the students. The place is quite clean and bright. Well, the services and the attitude of the workers should be leaned by others workers. As we know, services is important and we should respect customers right. Last but not least, you should go to ZenQ Dessert and try those dessert. You will love it.

#1 Fast Food - Burger King

  It was a Friday of 20^th April, my friends and I went to Burger King at Sunway Pyramid after facing a long tiring day of a ridiculous number of classes. It is located on the 4^th floor of the building. My first impression when we entered the Burger King was “ Wow, this place is as clean as a whistle and is elegantly furnished.” Burger King have provided a very comfortable sitting place with soft and romantic lights on. This is a good place for us to enjoy our delicious food besides relax our mind at the same time. My friends and I choose a suitable places and we  sat together in a group .Since one of our group members had some Burger King’s Voucher, so we decided to use it so that we could had some discount on those burgers and pampered our good appetites!

   First of all, we had to walk to the counter and stand in queue to make our order since it is a self-service basis. We had wasted our precious time to take our order . We were really dissatisfied with  their services due to the insufficient number of workers in Burger King. We hope that the manager could employed more workers so that the customers need not to waste their precious time by waiting their turn  to take their order . Fortunately, they were friendly with the customers. Although the prices of foods sold in Burger King are much more expensive than others fast foods franchise, but the size of the burgers that we had ordered were surprisingly bigger than others burgers  that sold in others restaurants ! Normally, it cost us RM15.70  for 1 large set of Grilled Chicken burger but we had voucher to be used, so we were given one free ala carte burger with every purchase of 1 large set of any burger. 

 Each of us got so excited when it was eating time. The moment we unwrapped the burger’s paper, everyone got so overwhelmed because as I said, the size of the burgers were so big! It was too big to put it into our mouth! Even though the burger was big, but the content of the burgers were  fresh  and tasty.  

For the side dish, every set came with French fries and a soft drink.  For the side dishes,  we love french-fries the most because it contain  garlic flavour and it was also served double sized! However,  it  was unfortunately  that the drinks were not refillable in Burger King. 

And, we took some  of photos when we were eating. We love to eat burger and were satisfied with its size. We really enjoyed our meal and we felt happy.

  



To end the review, we could say that even though the size of the food served was big and satisfying. Sometimes it could lead us to a waste if we were unable to finish it. Moreover, students might not suitable to purchase expensive food . In our opinion, we think that eating burger in Burger King is worth to pay, as the words always say “ It Just Taste Better “ and we were satisfied with it .
