Shin Japanese Restaurant

Introducing here a new Japanese restaurant at Raintown Plaza, Taiping. I'm sure some of you  have been to this place. I should blog it long time ago but time never permits that until tonight. Besides introducing this new Japanese restaurant, I'm trying my best to capture photos and adopt the skills from my new Samsung Galaxy SIII. Hey, if you are aware Samsung SIII just released the newest colour - RED! *_^.

I like their simple and elegant atmosphere. They even have 2 tatami rooms. The boss is from Ipoh. His name is Shin. He is a senior sushi shokunin which means sushi specialist or sushi chef. Sometimes, he'll prepare the food himself from the kitchen to his customers. He said he'll organized a variety of Bento set to choose from besides the ala carte pretty soon. I have been here for twice. The first time, we experienced the tatami. Quite nice and comfortable where we can have our private room and conversations. 

To talk about the price, our first visit cost us merely RM300 for 6 adults, 1 children and 1 toddler. We actually ordered 2 speciality which Mr Shin recommended. Imported fish sashimi and prawn sashimi from Japan, which is not from the ala carte. Though is newly open, no harm to try. Hehehe. Sorry I didn't took any photos that time. At the tatami, I was busy eating and entertaining my Hebe gal. Yeah, it is spacious, Hebe busy crawling here and there around the tatami.

Here I able to snap a few photos from my new phone during my second visit here. Some was blurr, cos I'm still practising and focusing the best I could from that Galaxy SIII.

Chawan Mushi - RM5.80. Quite a generous portion.

My blurry Ninniku Chahan (Garlic Fried Rice) - RM8.80.  We also ordered Ebi Chahan (Prawn Fried Rice) - RM9.80. Shin Restaurant also offer salmon and I think unagi fried rice as well.

MIL ordered 2 pieces of grilled salmon with salt - RM14.80 (each piece). You can always have either original or even terriyaki grilled style.

2 sets of Katsu Don - RM12.80 each for FIL and I. It came along with slices of fruit and hot miso soup.

I highly recommended to order Katsu Don. Lots of sweets onions, chicken and rice. I can't finish it by myself so I share with my son.

Side dishes, we have California Maki - RM18.80 with a total of 9 pieces.

We shall never miss sashimi platter whenever we go for Japanese Ryouri (ryouri means food/cuisine). Lastly, in that artistry platter, we have a set of normal salmon sashimi - RM20.80 (5 pieces) combine with salmon belly sashimi - RM33.80 (5 pieces).

Different people have different kind of judgement and perception. I'm not sure how long this kind of restaurant will survive at Taiping. Cos lots of folks saying that. How true was that I'm not sure. In my opinion, it is good to have this kind of contemporary restaurant at Taiping. Not many but at least. So far, their business is not that bad after all.
