Sushi Kitchen @ Sungai Ara

Sometimes it really gets me frustrated whenever I have to accompany my mom to be a 1-day vegetarian on every first and fifteenth day of the month, according to the lunar calendar. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against being a 1-day vegetarian and following my family's tradition. The only thing that I can't understand is that many of the vegetarian restaurants serve really oily dishes and their prices can be extraordinarily expensive. Of course I'm not saying all vegetarian restaurants are like that, but most of them are.


Alright, I'm getting to my point. My personal favourite vegetarian restaurants are Lily's Vegetarian Kitchen and Sushi Kitchen. I had planned to go to Sushi Kitchen for many times already but each time, I ended up with disappointment because I didn't make any reservations in advance and the place was full. So my advice to everyone is to make RESERVATIONS earlier before going.






Open up the glass door of Sushi Kitchen, there's a flight of stairs. I love Sushi Kitchen's creative idea--allowing customers to share their creative ideas, whatever you feel like expressing, just pick up a marker pen there and share it on the floor or on the wall. Autographing, drawing or writing can be found on nearly every inch of the entrance. I actually wanted to sign my name there but there's nearly no blank space left, too bad :/




Sushi Kitchen is a small, warm and cozy place perfect for a friends hangout. The dim lights and soft music playing gives customers a relaxing-at-home feeling. They have "tatami" seats (Japanese style: table and a few cushions for you to sit on) and also a table and chair session.


There's also a small libary corner at the back part of the restaurant, feel free to pick up any books to read while waiting for your dishes to be served. But, one thing...The lights are too dim for reading to me and even bad for photographing. My apologies for these bad quality shots :S


Oh...and look what I found! A vernier calipers! This reminded me of my high school Physics classes. What a random apparatus found in a restaurant :p




My personal favourites from Sushi Kitchen's deco are the old typewritter and the old-looking-but-adorable refrigerator. I love the magnets on the fridge!



This is what I called the real vegetarian. It's all about saving the earth, protecting the environment and rescuing the animals. If vegetarian dishes contain more oil than the ordinary non-vegetarian dishes then what's the point of being a vegetarian?! I am absolutely supporting Sushi Kitchen for their objectives!


And see...I told you they are conservative didn't I?! x) Applause~!



I snapped this picture from the menu. I was having a cold so I didn't get to order this. I tried one of these in Taiwan a few years ago and it was lovely. Plus this can't be found in many restaurants, give it a try will ya?! :)



The menu's guide! Give their best sellers a try!




A few small funny stickers that appeared on the menu. How sweet~


Honey nutmeg juice (RM2.50) The waitress thoughtfully recommended this to me because I was coughing at that time, she said it's a good cure for coughs and colds. A best seller drink on the menu.



G-ken Floss Fried Rice 季思炒饭 (RM9.80) A "hairy" dish which is another best seller. Credits for Sushi Kitchen's non-oily fried rice, I hate fried rice being damn oily and that feeling's like licking a bunch of oil as a meal. Containing carrots and meat floss (VEGETARIAN meat floss, not made of real meat though) and some vege and not forgetting sprinkled sesames on the top, you can choose either white rice or brown rice. Brown rice is tend to be slightly more expensive, that is RM10.80. RM1 difference, not a big deal I suppose :p



Global Warming Sushi 寿司暖化(RM7.80) It comes in a set of 3 or a set of 6(RM11.80). Again, this is Sushi Kitchen's best seller. Seriously, as I glanced through other people's table, nearly everyone ordered this. Without my favorite ebiko and unagi, this Global Warming Sushi tasted as good as any other Japanese non-vegetarian sushi. Good job on adding the mayonaise on top of the sushi, they were awesome. A must try for everyone!


Miso Udon 味增汤 乌冬面 (RM7.80) According to the menu, this is for someone who's rushing their time, there's a small blue plane by the side of the dish's name! Refer to the menu's guide and you'll know what I'm talking about. I'm not trying to be offensive here, but frankly speaking, this wasn't a good dish. Maybe it's because it's just udon in plain miso soup therefore it was rather tasteless.

I suggest those of you who are not so fond of tasteless and boring dishes to go for their sushi sets. Afterall, their name is Sushi Kitchen, that's why they are famous for their mouth-watering sushi.

Honeydew Muachee/Marshmallow

My mom went to Hong Kong for her business trip and brought back this box of Japanese Muachee. She bought it in the Hong Kong airport. As you know airport's things are tend to be much more expensive, this box of cute little squashy things costed nearly RM30 if I am not mistaken. She actually bought 2 boxes, one honeydew and the other's red bean which she gave to the aunty next door.


Inside the box contained 18 individually packed Muachees. I called them Muachee because their taste, outlook and texture were kinda similar to the Muachees that I ate in Taiwan (click here for Taiwan Muachees). And not forgetting, they also looked like they were from the marshmallows family, don't you think so?!? :)


Well, come to think of it 18 Muachees for RM30 wasn't that bad if you do the maths x) It would be RM1.67 each! Hehe..The problem was their sizes were too small. When they were so amazingly delicious, eating them made me feel like it's a kind of guilty indulgence.


A thin layer of flour covered the outer layer of the Muachee. Thank god it's not sugar or else it might tasted like a donut! x)


The inside was filled with honeydew...jam?! I don't know how to describe but at least to me it's a kind of jam, correct me if my guess is wrong! x) And there's a little marshmallow in the middle part of the Muachee giving it its QQ feel, which is the BEST part of the Muachee. Really a guilty pleasure because they were so small and I could easily gobble up one with a mouth. My mom was warning me not to finish up the whole box in just one day because I absolutely enjoyed flipping trough magazines and eating them :)


These Muachees should be edible for vegetarians as well, but for typical vegetarians, you gotta watch out there, because there's egg white.

And did I mention before?! JAPAN products ROCK! =D If you happen to come across this box of Muachee, I recommend to buy it right away, no regrets, I can assure you that. And it is great to be presented as a gift too.

Charlie Brown Cafe 查里布朗咖啡馆 @ Straits Quay, Penang



Ever since I spotted this cafe's review on the newspaper, I had been dying to go there.....It's so super duper CUTE!!! KAWAII~

I am a HUGE fan of Straits Quay, it really rocks! The best architecture mall/plaza/shopping complex (whatever you call it...) in the entire Malaysia. Yeah, I ain't using hyperbola effects....It's my personal opinion though.

Back to the topic....Everybody knows SNOOPY, right?!?! The white coloured dog for crying out loud. Internationally famous American cartoon which first appeared in comic strips, named PEANUTS written and illustrated by Charles M. Schulz, ran from 2nd Oct 1950-13 Feb 2000 and is arguably the longest story ever told by one human being.

CHARLIE BROWN CAFE is named after the protagonist, Charlie in the Peanuts's comic strips who is Snoopy's master. (=Snoopy is Charlie's pet XD). At the moment, this cafe has skyrocketed to fame in town, especially among teenagers. When I first mentioned to my friends about this cafe, right away, they were like "OMG! You've been there? I heard many people saying it's real cute! I wanna go!" Located at Straits Quay which is a hot hangout place in town definitely brings lots of benefits to the cafe. This outlet is the very first Charlie Brown Cafe in Malaysia.


If you guys know me, I am also a crazy fan of concept restaurants (see my previous posts of some unique ones). One of the best things I fancy about concept restaurants is because they have extraordinary interior and exterior designs which totally lure customers into them :D I just can't resist......


And certainly there's a massive collection of the Peanuts's merchandises. Honestly, I really did feel like bringing back the whole shop.


By the way, they also have a small souvenir shop there for the Peanuts's Fans to purchase the exquisite merchandises. YAY!


SERIOUSLY.....THESE 2 SETS ARE THE COOLEST STUFFS IN TOWN!!!!

I just had a "boring" lunch before we headed for the cafe. So, I actually aimed for a LITTLE desserts.....2 pieces of cakes to share among 3. But, in the end, I was the one who gobbled 70% of them up as my mom and my friend said I am young enough to eat more and not have sugar rush :/


I simply adore the desserts. The cakes are all SO tempting....I swear, next time I WON'T eat before I go there, then I will get to taste many of their main dishes and desserts.

ps: do try out their coffees! I am not a coffee lover (well, I can't stand the smell much) but their coffees are definitely worth a try. How I wish my idol Orianthi can come and try them out someday...hahahaha #randommuch :p I bet she'll fall in love with them in no time.
