Sushi Mentai @ Tun Aminah, Johor

25 October 2015

A few months ago, Mr. Ang brought me to try out Japanese dining restaurant. He mentioned that the ala carte price was very reasonable and economic. ECONOMIC….. this word mean CHEAP to me.  True enough, One plate of sushi is around RM1.80 to RM2.80. The price was indeed affortable. Please read HERE for my previous write up in Sushi Mentai Bukit Indah branch.

My dad enjoys Japanese food very much.  Therefore, Mr. Ang and I brought dad to try out our favourite Japanese food restaurant. As we were shopping for some furniture around Skudai area, we stopped by Sushi Mentai branch at Taman Ungku Tun Aminah.

Mentaki sauce is a mixture of  mentaiko 明太子(fish roe) with mayonnaise. Mentaiko is a kind of pickled fish roe. It’s natural saltiness and smooth texture of mayonnaise give a popping sensation in the diner mouth. We tasted 3 different type of sensation in this dish. Crispiness of the prawn tempura, chewiness of salmon fresh and mild saltiness of mentaki sauce.  Thus, this was Mr. Ang’s favourite dish

Pumpkin Croquette RM6.80

Dad, Mr. Ang and I agreed that the pumpkin croquette is the best dish of the day. Sweet pumpkin croquette was fried to golden brown. I can taste its’ crispness in every bite. The mayonnaise and sweet soy sauce was the perfect combination to go with this dish.

Agedashi Tofu RM4.80

The fried tofu was dipped on soy sauce with katsuoshi (dried bonito flakes) . The saltiness of bonito flakes and tenderness of tofu make this dish more attractive.

I prefer Sushi Mentai Tun Aminah branch. There are ample of parking lots. A car washing shop was located opposite of the restaurant. Mr. Ang like the car washing shop’s services. The cleaners were very serious and tedious in washing all the cars. Mr. Ang was able to enjoy his meal while observing his car taking “spa”. Haiz, Mr. Ang was very obsessed with his car.

刺身沙律 Sashimi Salad RM16.90
刺身沙律 Sashimi Salad RM16.90

The presentation of sashimi salad is slightly different from Japanese restaurant.. It is a fusion of Thai sauce and Japanese cuisine. Alfafa create a special fragrant. Sashimi need not to eat with wasabi as the Thai sauce is spicy. It is a very refreshing dish.

6 types of soups. From the left,  Miso Soup, Bushido Golden Buckwheat Miso Broth, Bushido Grain Mocha Milk Broth, Chinese herb soup, Tom Yam Soup and Kimchi Soup.

Next, come the best soup of the day: Bushido Grains Mocha Milk Broth. This soup has three great points.

  • Prevent aging
  • Prevent cancer
  • High in calcium

Grains and mocha content 47 kinds of natural and healthy cereals. It is known as the “perfect food” that can prevent high blood pressure, diabetes, high cholesterol, cardiovascular diseases and other diseases too. It is considered as Japan’s Okinawa generations’ longevity formula.

Mr. Ang and me really enjoy this soup based. At the end of the meal, we two just focus on drinking this soup. The fragrant and mocha and milk is  the key point attracted me the most.

Bushido Grain Mocha Milk Broth
Bushido Golden Buckwheat Miso Broth

Buckwheat is a plant cultivated for its grain-like seeds and also used as a cover crop. Buckwheat is considered as one of the healthiest food on the world’s healthiest food organisation. A research shows that buckwheat intake was associated with lower total serum cholesterol, lower low-density lipoproterin cholesterol (LDL, the form linked to cardiovascular disease)  and a high ratio of HDL (health-promoting cholesteril) to total cholesterol.

The restaurant chef mixed the buckwheat with miso broth to create another uniqueness. As buckwheat is a type of grain, the soup has a very powdery texture. I prefer to boil vegetable in this soup based.
