Umai-Ya - Revisited

Went to Umai Ya, this time the Uptown outlet. Actually did not plan to eat there, but... well...

Anyway, it was for Joey's friend who just got registered. The ambiance was very nice, and the pseudo Tatami experience was fun for Isaac, since he is at the crawling stage.

Again, didn't plan that was buffet either. I started too shy, and the waiter come back with my first round order ...saying... "Eh....you might want to just get a whole set of this, this and this...". Forgot to mention that there were 8 of us :P

Umai Ya have proven that they have the freshest ingredient around! We had this fried fish, and it turned out to be so juicy, we had 3 more!

You should see the amount of food we had... I am sure the tauke got quite "am-kook" because of us... Each one of us sure got our RM45 worth back.

My personal favorite from the session was the Dragon Maki and Salmon Sashimi. The Dragon Maki is a set of rice roll, with prawns in front and and the back, just like a Chinese dragonboat. It's crunchy yet juicy!

Only minor complain....

  1. There was this lead waiter, which I nick name Wang Li Hom. Because he got this American accent. And he's was quite snobbish-ish...
  2. Some waitress keep dropping/spilling stuff, like one of my Dragon Maki was gone just like that...
  3. Have to keep track of the last order time (I think 2.30pm)
  4. Some dishes does take come time to prepare, so order plenty, early ...but ...
  5. Not too much as there is a 500g/RM5 wastage charge. Although I guess RM5 cannot buy 500g of top notch salmon though... But imagine a neglected Soba Soup.... (which we almost did... Good job WY of finishing it!)

Will definitely revisit again with another crowd... anyone want Japanese?
