Zipangu Hits Zee Spot

Trio
Swiped from williamnyk.

I had my monthly quota of free food last month from SK's aunt who was in town the other day. She flew in from Australia and had a hankering for Zipangu, Shangri-la's Japanase restaurant, so she "dragged" us along for company. Not like I needed a push to go. :P. My first time there and for the price of MYR96++, you get what you're paying for. At the sashimi counter, one can get melt-in-your-mouth salmon, tuna, chewy yellowtail, octopus, super-sweet hen clam and butterfish. The oysters are also very fresh. Yummy. Interestingly, they serve a variety of soups-- kimchi, miso, radish, clam. Something not usually seen in other buffet lines. The tempura is also good and one does not have to jostle for it. Unfortunately, their unagi and chawanmushi is only average. The dessert counter is another jackpot. Moist chocolate cakes, custards with blackcurrant, raspberries and mango puree, jumbo-sized strawberries with cream... All in a very cosy environment. Give it a try sometime. Remember to drag a rich relative along. :)
