Don Kaiten, Klang Parade

Made my way to Don Kaiten again today. Yes, all the way to Klang Parade as I just cannot resist their mouth watering Japanese food:-

Unagi chawan mushi RM29.90

Chicken chawan mushi RM20.90

Sashimi sushi bento 'B' RM39.90

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!

Igentis Restaurant, Klang Parade

I need to do some CNY shopping –clothes and shoes, please. I noticed that there is a ‘Jualan Extreme Parkson’ going on at Klang Parade so why not head there? And…what about filling our tummies before shopping as I was told that when you shop on an empty stomach you end up spending more…..hence our pit-stop at Igentis for brunch before our shopping spree. This time around, we ordered food to be shared between the 4 of us.

On every table you wll find the order form and a pen. You will need to tick what you want and the waiter will then take your order form to the kitchen..not bad...definitely no mess up in terms of order.

The first thing that caught my attention was ‘today’s special’ which was braised chicken rice. At RM 8.90 this dish was real value for money. You get a drum stick, 2 slices of pineapple, an egg cut into 2. The chicken was tender but slightly cold inside. The gravy was thick and delicious!

We also had the fried spaghetti and fish & chips – both of these are priced at RM6.90 each, being food we selected from the kid’s menu. The serving was more than generous and can actually fill an adult’s stomach! The fish was crispy and I must say did not have that unwanted ‘fishy’ smell – very good indeed! The fried spaghetti had lots of ingredients including shrimps and fish paste.

The fish spring roll (RM6.90) was slightly oily,otherwise I would have no complaints!

This is a special dish which I have yet to see in any other restaurants – otak-otak chicken rice (RM7.90)! It is served in a bowl and it would have been helpful it they had brought me a plate in the first place. The rice was hot and when you mix the rice+ chicken + otak-otak gravy, the result is simply out of this world...superb!
