Sushi Teppanyaki @ Boulevard Food Court Review















This is a shot of Boulevard Shopping Mall yesterday. I went there with my dad for lunch. It wasn't packed and i was able to move about taking pictures freely.















Basically, the only place to have your tummy really filled up is at the top floor. The Boulevard Food Court boasts 20 or more food stalls which offer a wide range/variesties of food to satisfy your palate. " Tie Pan Sao " caught my eye the most. It literally meant " Hot Plate " in chinese.















Just incase you thought i am lying, it's at the top floor. One could easily spot another drinking cafeteria called " Siaw Mu Chuan " aka " The Small Wooden Barge Boat " below.















This is Boulevard Shopping Mall's *Only Japanese-influenced stall , and the only stall which sells sushi. Any Sushi lovers who are in for some fast food should dropped by sometime. Theres a small refrigerated counter in front which offers a wide range or sushi. From Unagi Bento to Chicken Sesamme Bento.















Here's a big lightening signage which emblazon the words SUSHI TEPPANYAKI - " Tie Pan Sao " . Anyone reaching up the food court would easily spot this particular store due to it's really bright and eye catching colour. I just wondered why it's written in CHINESE letters instead of JAPANESE. Hmm..















I also noticed a menu plastered signboard leaning by the side of the pillar which boasts a wide array of Japanese Sushi. The line-up was great, it's even better when you feel hungry. I browse through the menu and i admit i did find it hard which sushi meal to choose. It's just like having the luxury to choose 12 Japanese Ladies. It's so hard...















WAHLAOEH.... first thing first. Japanese Sushi Stall , Chinese Lettered Signage , Malay Owners?!? Definitely, its a Halal stall and to me, the whole japanese-chinese-malay vibe did not worked pretty well. The cashier did not looked very impressed or she just had her PMS , i have no idea.















So anyways, i got myself a plate of " Unagi Bento ". It retails for RM6.99 . It's pretty cheap to be honest and the food is simple yet appetizing. It consisted of a piece of sliced eel, 2 pieces of egg and chicken sushi which are wrapped nicely in between. The green "stuff" is known as Wasabi which i assume most of you would know what it is. They decided to have a pink-coloured coleslaw for me because they thought i was a girl. Damn...















The " UNAGI " which means Eel if i am right tasted just alright. It was what i want after a hectic morning. It's sweet and the meat is so soft and tender that you would believe they had lathered the eel with Johnson & Johnson's baby lotion few days ago. Although it came out oily, it tasted great with some shreded chicken meat resting on top.















Here's a close up of how everything is separated into sections. It was neatly done. I enjoyed the chicken sushi ( golden brown coloured : top right ) the most as it is easily consumed. The rice was alright and the chef did took extra time off to ensure it's rice is fresh and kept under perfect eating conditions. ( The texture of the rice was good )















I really like how it's wrapped in between with dried shiny seaweed. * Do not mistake it for weed/canabis . You could easily taste the sweet and sour sauce which are smeared on it once had it in your mouth. It was pure.... sushi-liked.















This is a part of the eel. Having bits and pieces of sesamee sprinkled on top of it really did bring out the A Factor in it. I , having no sushi-eating experience whatsoever found this meal surprisingly easy to take in. It's good for those on the run and also for those who prefer something oriental instead of the usual Nagaliar Nasi Lemak or New Kuok Kee mix vege rice.
