"Irasshaimase!" This is always
the welcoming greeting when going inside a Japanese restaurant and this always
remind me of a friend, Mace. Sushi King is an interesting restaurant with
its food choices, setup, and menu. Among the places we have visited so far it's
the only restaurant where a calorie counter per food is transparently
stipulated in its menu book. Good thing
I noticed all those calorie thingy only after the empty plates where piled up
(lol). Whether it's a good thing or a
bad thing to put those figures in the menu, I respect your opinion. Ordering food are in two ways -- get food
directly from the conveyor belt and a la carte. The conveyor belt reminds
me of TST in Ayala Cebu that serves Chinese food. They are of different pricing scheme and I
prefer SK's. It's an all you can eat at
the conveyor belt and how you're charged is based on the colour of your plate(s).

We waited for a Black Colour Plate RM7.00 to come out from the conveyor too bad there was none. Oh well, menu says at selected outlets only.
I
was about to try 1 of the 3 Vinegar drinks but I was more drawn to the Pink Guava
Yakult. Yes it was delicious and
the colour is so feminine :). It was too
tempting to order more and this time from the A la carte but I was too full
already. Gluttony and you know, it's a
sin. It was this time that I discovered
the calorie meter as I was leafing through the pages of the menu while waiting
for Z. I guess I had hypoglycaemia when
we stepped in the restaurant that's why everything I read was a blur hehehe or
Zs' excitement with the belt was just too contagious or I was just too hungry
then that I can't wait any second more.
From what the menu said, a bowl of Spicy Jigoku Ramen has 469 Kcalories. Oh! How disheartening! Don't worry for those who are figure
conscious they have the Slimming / Anti-Ageing / Lower Cholesterol / Detox
selection too. So there's no reason why
Sushi King should not be tried out. As
for me, I'll have my second helping at Sushi King soon and I can't wait.
Definitely, gochiso-sama!
A wonderful Tuesday evening!
sorry for the white lines.
