When this piece of land was covered up and constructing,
which is now named Precinct 10 in Tanjong Tokong, hubby and I think that this
is gonna be another talk of the town place in Penang. True enough, we could see
many eating outlet down there. Sushi Zento is one of them… and so far, the only
Japanese restaurant that serves pork meat.
Seriously it’s hard to find Japanese food that is serving
pork. And not many people aware that Japanese pork is different from the local type
and even the Spanish type (Parma Ham). Anyway, I
was even told this is actually owned by Azuma’s management too.
I personally do not visit any new restaurant when they newly
open, first of all, it is absolutely chaos when comes to serving and even the
food lining up for the kitchen. Since I’ve encountered many times of
disappointment, I rather wait till the operation is fully mature enough before
I step foot into it.
Sushi Zento is located at that eye catching area, big sign
board, huge dining place, full glass panel that is over looking the car park
area and the surrounding. Honestly, that’s a pretty good design. Inside the
restaurant, as usual, the sushi area is full of those chefs that are preparing
their food, a conveyer belt that is conveying the food for customers, just like
any other fast food chain like Sakae Sushi or even Sushi King.
Because of this was highly recommended by a colleague of
mine, and it was a spontaneous dining out kind of thing, thus, this place was
just came to our mind just like that. Well, it didn’t disappoint me much,
perhaps it gives me more opportunity to visit them more.
Komitama To Bacon Salada (Fresh salad, flavoured soft boiled
egg and crispy bacon with Wafu dressing, RM18). I can even find some pork lard
in the salad, it was absolutely yummy!!
Buta Amiyaka (Grilled slice pork with Amiyaki Sauce, RM19)
Nininku Chahan (Garlic Fried Rice, RM5), absolutely
fragrant!
Charsu Chahan (Roasted pork belly Fried Rice, RM10), this is
our Chinese “Siu Yok” Fried Rice.
I was tempted to try their Torikawa (Chicken Skin, RM6)
Grill, but then I know if I order this… am sure my better half will surely
lecture me. Anyway, ended up we have Shitake (Mushroom, RM4).
And, Negima (Chicken & Leek, RM8).
