Who here loves sushi as much as we do? 🙋🏻‍♀️

This evening, I brought Fahim to one of my favorite Japanese restaurants in KL called Rakuzen. We had some good ol’ salmon sashimi, some yakinikujyu (grilled beef 🥩 on rice 🍚), some spicy zosui-beef (spicy beef broth on rice), and also some tempura mori (combined deep-fried veggies and shrimp). The meals were absolutely delicious and we felt that it was worth the experience and the price tag.

Truth be told, Fahim was never a big fan of sushi 🍣 or anything raw prior to today, but now, it is safe to say that he has a completely different opinion on Japanese cuisine. He loved every single dish and I’m glad that I brought him to Rakuzen. As for myself, I’m a big sashimi fan! Although I haven’t had the luxury of trying out sashimi in Japan yet, but I can always tell the difference between sashimi from an upscale sushi restaurant such as Rakuzen versus the ones you get from Sushi King or those ready made ones at the grocers. I hope I’m not being offensive, it is only my personal opinion that there is an obvious difference in the taste. No doubt that fresh, delectable sashimi can burn a hole in your pocket, but that is why I have them on special occasions only. To me, sashimi is an indulgence one should crave for.

If you’re a sashimi lover, you can always tell the difference between a fresh sashimi, and mediocre ones.

There are no pictures for the yakinikjyu or the spicy beef broth since we were too busy devouring our food, but trust me, they were just as delicious! Fahim and I enjoyed their thinly sliced beef that were topped off with rice and half boiled egg, and yum! They were so good. Some restaurants give you small portions of beef and a whole lotta rice, but in Rakuzen, you get equal portions of beef and equal portion of rice, which is so reasonable yet so sinful!

This isn’t really a sponsored post, hence the lack of pictures. But we just wanted to share our thoughts on it, and that if you’re craving or been wanting to try really good sushi, you should give Rakuzen a try. It is definitely a little pricier than Sushi King or other franchises equivalent to that, but with Rakuzen, you definitely get more options in terms of menu, with a much cleaner and cozy atmosphere, as well as having meals that comes in big portions which are always worth the price tag.

All in all, we had a great dining experience! Tell us where your favorite restaurants are, and we would love to give them a try.
