Rewarding Ourselves With A Japanese Meal

       After an hour of prancing, leaping, hopping, twirling, sashaying and gyrating at our zumba class, Derrick and I decided to reward ourselves with an early dinner at Sushi Zento. We were there before 5.30 p.m. so there was no crowd to jostle with.

     With branches in KL, Petaling Jaya, Seberang Jaya, Penang and Johor Bahru, Sushi Zento is one of our favourite places for a Japanese meal. Their dishes never fail to impress us, and even the assortment of sushi rolls on the conveyor belt is a delight to the eyes and to the palate.

      Throwing caution to the wind, Derrick feasted on his favourite Buta Kakuni Don (braised pork belly on rice) and Shishamo (grilled willow leaf fish). I ordered a Nameko Miso Shiru (soy bean soup with "tofu", seaweed and a Japanese autumn mushroom) to go with my Shake Yaki Meshi (salmon fried rice). We also shared a Una Chizu Shake Tataki Roll (reversed roll of seared salmon and eel).

      I wish there was more room in my stomach as I would have loved to end my meal with their goma or yuzu ice cream. But I was too stuffed for dessert. Sigh! Oh well, there's always another time.
