The salmon roll with tri-coloured roe in Paradigm Mall is very saporific. They look so scrumptious, and it’s a shame to gobble them down. The salmon slice wrapped around a ball of sushi rice and topped with three different coloured roe. The orange coloured one tasted like the prawn roe, while the light green one has a tinge of wasabi in it. I couldn’t ascertain the taste of the dark green / black one, but it was super delish all the same.

The marinated jellyfish in Paradigm Mall is a great appetiser. The jellyfish is crunchy and springy, with a lot of zesty flavour. Tossed in chilli sauce and ample sesame seed, the combination is really nice. It comes decorated with a leafy vegetable and julienned radish. The radish is virtually tasteless. However, it does tamper down some of the spiciness of the jellyfish if eaten together.

Went to Paradigm Mall the other day to have a good Japanese meal. As usual, the queue at Sushi Zanmai is long, however, after lining up for 20 minutes, we were finally shown our table. We ordered and the first to arrive was the beef udon. The noodles were springy with just enough ‘bounce’. Slurping them down was a joy. The soup was well seasoned, but slightly brackish, but still OK. The beef slices were a bit too overcooked though, and the pieces were a bit too thick for my liking. There were so

Lunch time with the pretty's. Just ordered some of the sushi's and 1 bowl of tempura soba. Love to have the craving moment for this during lunch hour. Being a chatter box and enjoying the environment over here and eat few of the sushi's. I was too hungry, so i ordered a bowl of noodle. Yummy fresh made tempura which I can't resist. First thing I did is to snap picture when all the food is on our table.

Mentai means cod roe in Japanese. This is a very popular sushi in Sushi Zanmai, everyone is ordering it.The sushi rice is mixed with right amount of vinegar, well seperated and fluffy. Tamago (egg) is well sliced and has a balanced of sweet and savoury taste. Although it looks easy to make, but in fact it requires skill when frying the egg mixture. Flavouring must be balanced as well, as sweet tamago is not very ideal.The star of this sushi is the mentai, nicely arranged on top of tamago then r

Kaki means oysters in Japanese. I am glad that Sushi Zanmai includes this new item in their menu as I am eager to try how Japanese style fried oysters taste like. The oysters were lightly coated with panko (breadcrumbs) and deep fried till cirspy on the outside, while retaining a lot of moisture in the inside making it very moreish. They are very fresh hence I can taste the sweetness of it.Some finely chopped cabbage was served between the oysters and rice, giving a refreshing crunch. The fluffy

6 pieces of spider roll was served. The maki was filled with soft shell crab wrapped with seaweed, and topped with avocado and mentaiko. The maki also consisted some crab roe to give some crispy texture to it. The soft shell crab was fresh and crunchy, slightly salty. The avocado was sweet and soft. The mentaiko was slightly burned and it was so fragrant, so sinful. It was slightly salty. Love this spider roll to the max!

I was craving for some healthy sushi after having many oily food over the past few days.First to order was the ebiko sushi from the kaiten belt, which is the prawn eggs sushi. Even though it came from the kaiten belt, it was still fresh as it was cold and the seaweed was still quite crunchy. The rice was sticky as expected and the eggs were full of the seafood aroma and taste. It was a little salted which is a good compliment to the rice.The next to order is the Salmon Sushi don. It was rice wit

I like how they placed the vegetables standing up like that. The Soft Shell Crab Tortilla Roll is tortilla wrapped around vegetable and soft shell crab then topped with sauce and fish roe. The roe was big and juicy, I could hear them pop as I bit into them. The tortilla is soft but as you bite inside, you reach the fresh green leaves and the crunchy crab. The crab was not oily. Quite a special and tasty dish.

Perhaps it's because it wasn't peak hour.. The shop was pretty empty and we had the attention of all the staff there The Toriniku Cream Pasta/Chicken Cream Sauce Pasta highly resembles carbonara in terms of outlook and taste. There are mushrooms in the cream sauce. On top are some pieces of chicken that honestly tasted like the Chinese 'siu yuk' because it's salty with a slightly bitter crunchy skin.

Lights over our head.Pretty interior, I must say.. Found it strange that our seats didn't have a head rest/back wall though. If both you and the person sitting behind you lean back your heads, you'll have a really awkward moment Being particular about sashimi, I found theirs to be satisfactory. They're really fresh but the slices are thinner than some other places. Dipping into the soy sauce and wasabi really amps up the taste. Not sure why theirs is so fragrant!

If you like kimchijigae, you will probably like this too! Kimuchi is the Japanese version of kimchi although I honestly thought they're quite similar. The noodles are like spaghetti and the kimuchi soup is really yummy. Salty, sour and spicy really opens up your appetite. I found 1 scallop, 3 mussels and 1 clam. There are also vegetables and mushrooms inside. Could have contained prawns and squid too. Can't really recall but the menu shows that there should be.

Two weeks ago, Jol & I went to the newly opened Paradigm Mall in Kelana Jaya for a movie. After the movie, we had our dinner at Sushi Zanmai. This is actually my first time eating at Sushi Zanmai. There are currently 10 Sushi Zanmai outlets in Malaysia (including Hokkaido Sushi at 1 Utama and Hokkaido Ice Cream at Paradigm Mall). Sushi Zanmai brand themselve as the genuine conveyor-belt Sushi Restaurant. Service was good there. They constantly refill the ocha (RM 2) for us.The sushi in Sushi Zan
