HANA DINING @ SUNWAY PYRAMID

July 15, 2017

Been craving for Japanese food after watching some sushi videos on YouTube. Lol. We were at Sunway Pyramid and I didn't wanna go for the franchise ones like Sakae or Zanmai, so we asked the info counter. The lady at the counter recommended us to go for Hana Dining Sake Bar and am so glad she did. Hana Dining has officially made it into my list of favorite Japanese restaurants, for now! Haha!!

We started off with the Gindara Miso Yaki (Black cod with miso). With its delicate and buttery texture, the Miso Cod simply melts in your mouth! The sharpness of the miso and sweetness of the mirin work wonderfully to cut the fish’s fattiness.

Next, we had the foie gras and anago (eel) nigiri sushi. The perfectly seared foie gras nigiri was awesome - a mouth punch of sweet and savory. I absolutely loved it. If foie gras is your thing, then this is the pinnacle of that experience. The anago nigiri, on the other hand, wasn't as bold or rich taste as I had expected.

Hubby ordered this grilled toro with salt and it was so so. It was nowhere near as good as what we had in Japan. >.<

Toro Shio Kushiyaki (RM15).

Shisamo (RM10).

We ordered the Inaniwa udon & Sushi set too. The udon was good - smooth and chewy. LO loved it very much. She finished almost half the bowl by herself. The sushi were very fresh too :D

As for drinks, hubby had the Suntory Kakubin - Kakubin Yellos Label whiskey with cold soda and a dash of lemon juice and I ordered one of their sake cocktails - Taste of Shinshu (Sake + red wine + apple sour mix).

We enjoyed our evening there very much. Food was great and service was good. We'll definitely head back since it is officially one of my favorite restaurants for Japanese food!!
