Probably one of the best Japanese
restaurants in Klang – hidden away in the rather quiet Klang Parade – is Don
Kaiten. Well, the good thing (or some may say not so good thing) about this
restaurant is that it is what I call a stand-alone restaurant, meaning that it
does not have outlets mushrooming all over the Klang Valley.
A group of 5 of us decided to catch up over
lunch one day..and Don Kaiten was our choice. It was rather empty as we made
our way there at 12 noon. …really….the Klang folks just don’t know what they
had missed out on!
Anyway, it was the perfect place to chit
chat as it was quiet and the ambience definitely pleasing even to a fussy
person like me!
All of us ordered green tea…for this, you
are given a tea bag and a cup. You need to fill the cup with water from a ‘tap’
which is found at every table…meaning that you can refill as many times as you
wish. Yeah! On every table is also a container filled with ginger – I tasted
some and wow! They were truly delicious that I had another helping..and another
…and asked for more!
They had the sushi belt as well as ala
carte. For starters we decided to have something from the belt.The photo below
shows the price of the various coloured plate. I noticed that this restaurant
had many unique sushis which are not often found in other Japanese restaurants
in Malaysia.
These are some of the food we had from the
belt :-
This is a called a kid bento (RM13.90) – 2 triangular
shaped rice with deep fried scallop, prawns, etc ..and 2 yummy konnyaku jelly.
Even as I write now, my mouth starts to water as I recall this wonderful bento!
Unagi chawan mushi (RM29.90) – an interesting
set that comes with an extremely smooth chawan mushi (the best I’ve had in
years), miso soup, a bowl of rice, 2 slices of watermelon and some fried salmon
skin. What I love about the unagi was the way they cook it here at Don Kaiten –
the unagi did not have tiny bones which I loathe and sauce was very delicious – it wasn’t too sweet thus I
could really savour the unagi. Love it!
Sashimi chawan mushi (RM26.90) – this was
also perfect. The smooth chawan mushi was a delight and the freshness of the
sashimi amazing.The bowl of salad (top left hand corner in the picture below)
was not only fresh but also very appetising.
This is seafood fried rice (RM9.90) – it had lots of seafood in it and
was indeed very tasty. But one thing they could improve on would be the
presentation…..I would have preferred the rice served in a plate instead of
this bowl which was filled to the brim.
Excellent food coupled with excellent
service - A true gem!
