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.

New Chef Brings New Signature Dishes to Still Waters Japanese Restaurant @ Hotel Maya

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.
