Sushi King Bonanza.. just in time before GST

It's Sushi King's Bonanza time! It was held from 23-26th March 2015 and boy did I knock myself out with sushi!

Amids the forth coming GST on all goods and services, many people like myself have been trying to spend as much and stock-up before GST kicks-in come April 1st.

I went to Sushi King Midvalley for the Bonanza where all coloured plates costs only RM3. Well, previous years it cost only RM2 per plate... I guess because of inflation and now GST, things will keep going up *sigHH*

All the sushi you'll ever wanna eat. All coloured plates for RM3 each.

ebi fried

Tuna stuff tofu

salmon roll

jelly fish - absolute favourite!

Usually red plates and purple plates cost  RM4.99, RM5.99 each. Now they're going for RM3 flat! Pink plates were RM3.99 each on normal days.

Imagine the long long queues at all their outlets during the Bonanza period...

I tried to reach at any 1 outlet by 5.30pm just to beat the queues.

Everyone's table is given a time limit of 45min and there's no take-away for RM3 per plate unless you wanna pay normal prices for it.

10 coloured plates for another

8 coloured plates for one person

It's not surprising that most of my plate choices were unintensionally purple and red coloured...
This is the time you want to take advantage of the bonanza to order all kinds of dishes which you normally won't because of the prices. *all smiles*

How many plates can you eat?

Maricosa ~ Hawaiian dining experience

There's a new restaurant in town, well, it's not really that new, but I've never been there and have wanted to try out their menu.

This happened on the 5 Jan 2013. It was more of a New Year lunch celebration, as I was oncall on the 1st of Jan. Nevertheless, I got to do New Year's count down and makan-makan on the 31th Dec 2012 :))) so lucky!

Back to Maricosa, where we all had lunch...

 Very well themed, the restaurant is adorned with murals of coconut / palm trees, pineapples, hula-dancers and the waitresses and waiters all wore floral almost-like-batik shirts/dresses. The ceiling fans also were fan-shaped and chairs looked like pineapple-looking backings ~Awesome!

They have set lunches which cost RM32.90 ++. THis is inclusive of soup of the day, main course, and a choice of dessert or drink. I thought the choice of coffee/tea or dessert was rather odd, as most set lunches offer both instead. Anyway, we took desserts over drinks.

The soup of the day was cauliflower soup, served in a huge plate-cum-bowl.

Next-up was our main courses.
Barbaque Huli Chicken. THis was really tasty!! I liked the barbaque sause very much. Not quite sure what the Huli meant, but it came with a pineapple salsa. The chicken was tender and well seasoned. This main course came with a bun, pineapple salsa as mentioned, and fries.

The main that I ordered was the Pesto Prawn Spaghetti.
I was quite disappointed with this dish although initially I was happy to be greeted with 3 huge prawns.
The pesto spaghetti was rather bland. Probably the chef forgot to add salt to the dish!!! Sigh, if only it was not so tasteless, the dish would have been a great one as there was enough prawns to go by, and garlic and pesto to accompany the spaghetti. Unfortunately, the dish was tasteless :((

I had to request for more grated parmesan cheese, hoping the cheese would bring more taste or saltiness to the dish. ~ didn't do the trick.

Lastly, the dessert. As I did say before this, I found it odd that drinks were not offered with the dessert considering the size of the dessert was really small. It's the size of a glass of whisky shot. I later found out why a whisky shot glass for dessert was more than enough.

The dessert of the day was Chocolate Mousse.
And it was thick, rich and creamy!! The strawberry sauce that accompanied it simply complimented the chocolate mousse well...
And being thick and rich and creamy, you wouldn't was more than the amount of a shot glass. The quantity was just right.

I found this place a pleasant one. But honestly, it's a bit pricey...although they offer set lunches

So, all in all, I got to finally try out this restaurant and what it has to offer... If you have time, and happen to be around Straits Quay, have a try out yourself :)
