FUSION DELICACIES

Craving for something Western with a touch of the Orient? The Fusion Delicacies Promotion at The Japanese Restaurant, Sunway Putra Hotel Kuala Lumpur might just hit the spot. Available throughout March 2012, each a la carte order is priced from RM28.00++ per selection.

The two appetizers worth mentioning are Watarikani No Nama Harumaki (Soft Shell Crab Roll with Crunchy Salad and Avocado in Rice Paper) and Karatsuki Hotate To Wakame No Toryufu Miso Ae (Seared Fresh Scallops with Seaweed and Truffle-Miso Infusion).

For the main dishes, there are Asupara To Marinido Shake No Ikura Kurimu Sosu (Marinated Salmon and Poached Asparagus in Salmon Roe Cream Sauce) and Gyuniku Tataki Roru Micro Salada (Beef Carpaccio Rolls with Crunchy Micro Salad served with Capers-Ponzu-Lime Vinaigrette). Meanwhile crustacean lovers will enjoy the Dansu No Ebi Karaage (Deep-fried Dancing Prawns with Kataifi Pastry served with Salad and Spicy Wasabi-Tobikko Mayonnaise).

A brainchild of Japanese Head Chef Lau Yeou Shin, the promotion is in response to requests of diners for something that blends the best of both worlds. “Previously we had a rather similar promotion in our seasonal offerings, such as Spaghettini Aglio Olio with Glazed Teriyaki Cod Fillet topped with Tobikko which was rather well-received. So we decided to conjure a few more dishes of the similar concept for our diners. The ingredients used combine staples from western cooking and elements from The Land of the Rising Sun”, added Chef Lau, who has more than a decade of experience in running a Japanese Restaurant.

Contemporary designed in an avant-garde setting, The Japanese Restaurant serves a mix of authentic cuisine inspired from the Land of The Rising Sun with a modern twist. With a seating capacity of 150 guests, it is located at Level 10 and boasts of 5 private tatami rooms (the largest accommodating 12 persons) overlooking a landscaped garden. The main dining area offers a breathtaking view of the city’s skyline via its floor to ceiling glass windows.

Operation hours are from 12.00 noon to 2.30 pm for lunch and 6.30 pm to 10.30 pm for dinner. The restaurant is closed on Mondays and for lunch on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays.
