A HAPPY DAY OUT AT GURNEY PARAGON

It is a really sunny and warm Sunday. Kaya & Butter, both decides to hang out at Gurney Paragon. We had a light breakfast earlier this morning before going to church. Therefore, we are basically quite hungry when we reach Gurney Paragon in the afternoon. There are plenty of people at the mall today, maybe due to the warm weather outside. We are craving for Japanese food recently, so we agree to have a Japanese cuisine marathon this afternoon, by visiting Rakuzen, Sushi Zanmai and Pasta Zanmai.

A HAPPY DAY OUT AT GURNEY PARAGON (1)

 Our first stop is Rakuzen, the most expensive one among these 3 restaurants stated above. Obviously, we do not need to queue up, but it does not mean that the food is not good. The environment is cozy and comfortable, with yellow lighting and wonderful wooden interior.

It is very thoughtful of the management and the designer, to create such a great eatery ambience with certain level of privacy for their customers.

8 kinds of sashimi: Otoro Sashimi (Tuna Fatty Belly), Awabi Sashimi (Abalone), Kampachi (Amberjack), Ikura (Salmon Roe), Amaebi (Sweet Shrimp), Toro Salmon (Salmon Belly) and Fugu Sashimi (Puffer Fish)

The ingredients are very fresh and it worths the price. We love the way they are decorated, so delicately presented. It’s food art! People who likes sashimi, makes sure you do not miss this.

Edamame

RM8

This boiled green soybean comes with a little salt. It is a nutritious snack that once you start to take, you never want to stop. Furthermore, its price is reasonable for a high end japanese restaurant like this, and it’s fresh.

Wagyu Sirloin Steak (60g)

RM65

This is a dish recommended by the manager. Honestly, it surprise us ! The beef steaks are sliced thinly and are carefully arrange on a heated rock. Butter seldom take beef steak, but this dish changes Butter’s mind. It is so tender and soft, and juicy as well. However, the portion is not a lot. It makes us want to come back to eat again.

A HAPPY DAY OUT AT GURNEY PARAGON (2)

Pasta Zanmai is the smallest among these 3 restaurants. However, we like the dining environment which is so bright due to the tall glasses from celling to floor. We can actually enjoy the sea view from the table we sit. We always want to come to dine here, and we are glad that we make it today. Again, reservation is needed unless you are willing to wait outside for awhile, as the numbers of tables are limited.
