New additions & promotions in Sakae Sushi

Sakae Sushi, one of the leading Japanese restaurants in Malaysia recently wowed fans by unveiling their new and improved menu featuring 30 tempting new creations alongside all-time Sakae favourites.

Sakae Sushi has also recently launched their new iPad interative menu which allows convenient and quick ordering without the need of hailing a waiter/waitress.

Kaisen Salad, RM16.90.

This new addtion to the menu consists of fresh prawns, tuna flakes and snow crab legs on a bed of greens. The fresh taste of the seafood accompanied by vegetables and the rich Goma dressing. A generous amount of tuna flakes over the salad also adds to the refreshing taste.

Inari Avocado Ebi, RM7.99.

The juicy fresh prawns infused with avocado and other vegetables followed by the salad dressing is wrapped in a sweet beancurd skin, bringing the sweet taste together with the creamy texture.

Sakae Blossom, RM9.99.

Looks well, tastes well. Pan seared salmon with shrimp roe and mayonnaise gives a delightful taste to the dish.

Soft Shell Crab Maki, RM5.99.

The sweet taste in the soft shell crab and the beancurd skin pairs well with the sushi rice. The spicy mayonnaise topping packed an extra salty/spicy taste to this dish.

Ebi Crepe, RM5.99.

Wrapped in a fluffy egg crepe skin, the egg and prawn inside provides a fresh, eggy taste with light hints of mayonnaise to add to the flavour.

Hana Maki, RM9.99.

Raw salmon covering the aromatic sushi rice then topped with shrimp roe and generous amounts of mayonnaise. A little too much mayonnaise in my opinion, covered the fresh taste of the salmon slice.

Hotate Mentaiyaki, RM20.90

Fresh large sized succulent scallops topped with rich grilled cod fish roe makes the dish creamy and delicious.

Curry Udon, RM12.90

Sweet and mildly spicy Japanese curry with handmade wheat noodles. The curry was very rich and creamy, accompanying the udon noodles well. Scrumptious and mouthwatering.

(L-R) Goma ice cream, RM6.90. Matcha ice cream, RM5.90. Dragon Fruit ice cream, RM5.90. Passion Fruit ice cream, RM6.90

The Dragon Fruit ice cream had a very mild sweet taste in it whereas the Passion Fruit ice cream had a sour taste with a sorbet texture. Very refreshing dessert.

Soft Shell Crab Tempura.

As a means of further rewarding its loyal customers, Sakae Sushi has also launched several promotions to commemorate the new menu. Newspaper readers can enjoy a special RM10 cash voucher valid with a minimum spend of RM25, with an additional free pink plate worth RM3.99 for Citibank cardholders.

Life's Simple Pleasures

The brand's tagline - "Share a little time and imagination with us. Let's indulge in Life's Simple Pleasures."

I'm sure everyone has their own simple pleasures in life. Be it sitting by the beach or lazing around at home during their leisure time, it is an activity that we enjoy and we try to do it whenever we have the opportunity to.

For me, I find eating an enjoyment. Tasting cuisines from all countries gives me a feel of satisfaction and allows me to fill my stomach with gourmet food. Being in reach with many restaurants that offer various delicacies is definitely a blessing.

Here are some hints:
- It uses the highest grade of NGMO (Non Genetically Modified) identity preserved soya beans into every product.

- It is 100% Natural. No preservatives or additives are added.

- It is made fresh everyday.

- It is your healthier alternative to life.

Still guessing? Allow me to give you some motivational boost, leave a comment with the brand's name you guessed and the commenter with the closest answer will be given VIP invitation passes to the grand launching event of the brand's outlet.

Sounds good? Start commenting away, you may submit as many guesses as you wish!
