Coco.Tei

Coco.Tei is a contemporary looking Japanese establishment which is the reincarnation of Hajime. Seeking to find its own stylized niche, it’s speciality here would be its Sushi, Sashimi and Maki rolls, but what peaked our curiosity was this one word on the menu – “kaiseki”. Ah, what do we know of the esoteric cuisine of [...]

Tykoh Inagiku @ Menara Kek Seng KL

One of the main things I like about Japanese food, is the emphasis on eating things at their “shun” , or “in-season”. When I walk into a good authentic restaurant I like to ask them, what is “in season” at the moment and just leave the ordering to them. Now a days, when we are [...]

Sushi Tei @ Tropicana City Mall, PJ

Sushi Tei from Singapore arrives at Tropicana City Mall! We thought it would be a good idea to check out Tropicana City, as well as Sushi Tei, the first ever branch in Malaysia… kill some time over the weekend. Apparently, Sushi Tei likes to think of itself as ‘no ordinary’ Japanese restaurant. It believes that [...]
