Stacks Japanese Restaurant @ SS15 Subang Jaya

Stacks Japanese Restaurant joins the interesting eatery scene in SS15 Subang with fulfilling and innovative offerings. I was around SS15 with my baby nieces and decided to give this cute restaurant just opposite Inti College a try. 

At first flip of the menu, I realized that the dishes are earnestly priced, making it one of the more reasonable places to dine in this city. Apt for students, families and a fine place to bring your date without burning a hole in your wallet. The range of food is also extensive, covering from appetizers to udons, ramens and desserts - almost all the necessary Japanese staples. 

I couldn't help catching the Ramadan poster from the corner of my eye. The reconstructed egg Sarang Burung Stacks looks like they have innovation as one of their ingredients.

Pleasant setting and commendable customer service makes the restaurant very welcoming

Private room

CNY set meal consists of 9 dishes

Ryoshi Prosperity Yee Sang

Roar to a great start with the tossing of their Prosperity Yee Sang. With brittle sang meen and tempura crisps, this yee sang is sure to give that auspicious crackle to articulate those good wishes. Lightly flavoured, it allows room for appreciation of its ingredients especially the fresh salmon meat.

Ready to toss

Tororo Nabe

Udon

Steamy affair with udon in miso

Ryoshi Sashimi Mori

Those who didn't have enough of the fish from the yee sang can bite into the toothsome Sashimi Mori. Savour the sweetness of fresh seafood in its most original form. My favourite has to be the scallops and shrimps.

Dragon Maki

Get on a roll with the comforting Dragon Maki. Tiger prawn meat rolled inside nori (seaweed) and a blanket of sushi rice with a spread of mayonaise topped with golden ebiko (shrimp roe) cannot go wrong. 

Saba Teriyaki

If raw fish does not tickle your fancy, dig into cuts of sweet saba (mackerel) grilled with a brush of teriyaki sauce.  

 Tempura Mori

Those with a knack for fritters will like the Tempura Mori. Prawns, enoki and brinjals, fried with a dip of light tempura batter. Dip it into the tempura sauce for that delightful savoury crisp.

Karaage Tofu

Slurp up nearly-bland soft toufu sitting on a hot pan with accents from salty meat bits and pull slices of BBQ pork from the skewers while you chat away.

Buta Bara

Ala carte

Ryoshi Buta Don

Those up for a wholesome bowl of rice can opt for the Ryoshi Buta Don. Japanese rice served with caramelized BBQed pork meat and shredded nori (seaweed) binded with the unctuous yolk from a poached egg. A balanced and satisfying choice.

Buta Shabu Salad

Who says salad has to be boring? Expect some tender slices of pork tasting absolutely addictive with Japanese sesame sauce amid healthy greens when you order Buta Shabu Salad.

Negi Bacon

Fuel conversations wth more side dishes like the Negi Bacon. A simple yet aromatic leeks-in-blanket for casual eating.

A selection of Japanese liquors

Wine to complement your meal

There is a new Samurai in town and he is Malaysian! Chef Zainurin is the newly appointed Executive Sous Chef at Hotel Maya Kuala Lumpur which holds the knife and bows like a Japanese. Chef Zainurin has over 30 years of culinary experience under his belt, garnered from working in several renowned hotels and Japanese fine dining restaurants.

Chef Zainurin generously revealed his acts in the kitchen as he demonstrated his Japanese culinary skills before us that weekend by transforming a Norweigian salmon into sashimi and sushi. His adroitness with the knife is obtained by stringent training with Japanese master chefs.
