Dining at Tomoe

It's been a while since my last post. I have been busy with work and almost suffocate. However, did steal some time to read some comments on my posts and it did put a smile to my exhausted looking face. Thanks girls, for making my day.

As I will be travelling to Johor to conduct training tomorrow, my mom decided to celebrate "Dong Jie" (a festive celebrated by Chinese about 3 days prior to Christmas and it's said to be more important than Chinese New Year) two days earlier. We decided to go to Tomoe because this Japanese restaurant has earned many compliments and it's near to my house.

After coming back from work, was hurried to go out for dinner at Tomoe. It's raining cats and dogs when I reached home.

Tomoe was cozy and a little white Christmas tree was found in the quaint restaurant. While waiting for the food to be served, I walked around the restaurant to snap some photos. Pardon me for the poor quality as they are taken by my camera phone. Didn't get to grab my camera when I was dashing out from the house.

Found this deco when I was wandering around.

Oh yeah, here comes the most interesing moment : arrival of food! Please prepare your napkin. Time to salivate! LOL

Yum! Miso soup - one of my favourite Japanese foodKaisen Don (MYR 36). I enjoyed this dish very much. The seafood were fresh and I begin to like the texture of raw fish. Succulent and tender. This is a dish that I would recommend to those who like raw fish and vinegar rice.Ebiten (MYR 15) Oops, you must have noticed that I had been trying real hard to hide the gaps filling the plate by taking the photo from different angles. Mission failed =p Yeah, I forgotten to take a picture before others helped themselves with the delicious prawn roll. Richly coated with fish roe and fine in texture, this dish is worth trying. Ebi Tempura (MYR22). My mom could not resist this dish when she saw the lady on the next table ordered this. My mom was generous in offering compliments after taking the first bite. I could not agree more with her. The batter which coated the prawns were crunchy and fluffy. The chef did an excellent job in ensuring the prawns were not overcooked. In fact, the prawns were very tender.

Soft Shell Crab Salad (MYR 26). Sourish,slightly sweet and fragrant, is how I exactly like a salad dressing. I couldn't really make out what were the ingredients but all I can say is the salad was superb.

The bill came up to MYR170.20 and yeah, it's a little pricey. Strangely, I didn't feel the pinch although I would, usually. Probably, I felt I deserved a luxurious meal after all the hard work put in to the current project my team and I are working on. Also, my December salary plus contractual bonus was in already since beginning of the week. It's the time to celebrate though the amount is nothing particularly to be happy about! I would be spending most of my time at work for the next couple of weeks. So, here's my chance to treat myself well ;p
