Are you drooling now? Does this photo tempt you? This is definitely a heaven especially for Japanese Food lover! Even I am missing this badly right now looking at this photo to get inspiration to blog!
Whenever we mention Japanese buffet in Penang, we will definitely think of Tao Cuisine. One is in Penang Times Square and another one is at Autocity Juru, Penang. They have another branch in Kota Damansara Sunway Giza too! It specialized in 70% Japanese and Korean, Chinese, Thai, Taiwan cuisine.
I like their concept of All-You-Can-Eat Ala Carte Buffet. Most of the time, we are afraid if the food already finish or the food no longer hot or fresh anymore when we arrived the venue late. Ala Carte Buffet surely save you from those troubles! All you need to do is just sit at your place, pick and order it from the staff. The chef will then cook it and send it to you.
Last week, I visited Tao Cuisine at Autocity Juru, Penang. It is located above Nandos, beside Starbucks. There are 2 ways to reach Tao which are the staircase beside Nandos and Ice-ice Baby.
Christmas decoration all around Tao Cuisine for Christmas month!
Self-service buffet
Besides Ala Carte, you can grab some ready food at the self-service section too! :D
Shishamo on the left and Chawanmushi on the right.
Shishamo is grilled pregnant fish with salt and pepper while Chawanmushi is steamed egg with shark fin. They both taste good! It was a cold rainy day, the chef insisted to serve us Chawanmushi to keep us warm, very thoughtful chef!
Deep Fried Mantis Prawn (bottom), Ko Ebi Karaage(top)
Ko Ebi Karaage consists of deep fried baby shrimp.
Gyoza
Gyoza is panfried minced chicken dumpling. They are served with a dipping sauce. They taste so well with the dipping sauce!
Okonomiyaki
Japanese Pizza with seafood and assorted vegetables.
Deep Fried Mantis Prawn, Ko Ebi Karaage, Gyoza and Okonomiyaki are Zensai, which is appetizer in Japanese.
Crabmeat Cream Cheese
Deep fried flour skin wrapper with stuffed crabmeat and cream cheese.
This is one of my favorite! I like how the crabmeat with cream cheese melt in my mouth with the combination of the crispy flour skin wrapper!
Soft Shell Crab Karaage
It consists of deep fried soft shell crab with assorted vegetables.
Soft shell crab is one of the must-not-miss-out list when you dine in Japanese Restaurant. It taste good with the chili powder! I like the crispiness and sweetness of the crab!
Wakatori Karaage
Crispy deep fried marinated chicken with fried egg.
The chicken is very juicy and the egg with Mayonnaise melted in my mouth is so yummy!
Crabmeat Cream Cheese, Soft Shell Crab Karaage and Wakatori Karaage are under Age Mono, which means deep fried food in the menu.
Sake Hamaguri
Clam, or we usually call it "lala" is my all-time-favourite since I was young. Sake Hamaguri is the stir fried clam with Japanese Wine. I think the Japanese Wine plays an important role to remove the seafood raw smell which makes the clams taste sweet. How can we not love those big clams anyway?
Sake Hamaguri is under stir fried dishes, Itame Mono.
Motoyaki Scallop
Baked scallop with spicy mayo.
I am not a fans of scallop but this impressed me as it comes along with the spicy mayo!
Misoyaki
Grilled butter fish with miso sauce.
The fish is really fresh and sweet!
Motoyaki Scallop and Misoyaki are under Yakimono, pan-fried dishes.
Beef Bacon
Hotplate beef bacon with cream cheese and spring onion.
I really love these beef bacon! Again, the cream cheese wrapped with beef bacon and spring onion melted very well in my mouth. Cheese and beef lover will definitely love this!
It is under Teppanyaki.
Finally, its Maki, Nigiri or Sashimi's turn!
Sushi Moriawase
Green Dragon Roll
Deep fried prawn, cucumber, kani, avocado, mango.
Sashimi Moriawase!
How can you not scream when you see this? My eyes went bling* when the chef serve the boat! of Salmon, Tuna, Tako, Hokkigai and many more... oh yummy...
Tao Cuisine is a great choice for celebration and a place for Japanese Food lover, big eater!
