The good thing about chain restaurants is that you'd always know what to expect and know that u'd always get what you want. This is definitely the case when it comes to Sushi Tei, a Japanese chain restaurant that is available all over Asia and now Sydney.
I like it when chefs go natural when it comes to vegetarian. I hate it when they try to imitate all the "meat" dishes out there, it's like telling everyone, we vegetarians don't have anything to eat, so we have to "imitate" meat, which is simply not true!!! Now, this is what I call all natural sushi! :)
MG's Cafe Takeaway - one of the best grab and go service!
For working Malaysians, our busy and hectic lifestyle tends to eat into our lunch time, making it seem impossible to sit and dine in a proper restaurant. I tend not to mix my lunch time with my work, but I had to succumb to the negative forces that took away my lunch privilege. So, I decided to go for MG Cafe's takeaway as I really like the love put into their takeaway meals. You really have to try it once to really get what I mean!
Sambal Onigiri - perfect grab and go that's readily available at the counter
Tiramisu - made with yoghurt, cream cheese, coffee, etc
Rendang donburi - looks like something from a japanese restaurant isn't it?
The best would be the assam laksa. You would never think of taking away a soup-based noodle from a restaurant, but MG makes it a perfect takeaway. They generously seperate the noodle from the soup using two paper bowls. I really like this concept as it is never a good idea to put boiling hot soup into a plastic bag, depending on its quality and whether it is able to withstand the heat. MG eliminates all my worries!
A yummy meal indeed!!! This is where I start craving for my 2nd bowl but the unfortunate thing about takeaways is that you can never have seconds unless you plan ahead!

There is a new vegetarian dish on the menu which is the Tofu Salad. This is a value for money dish as the helping is really large with a good variety of tofu, mushrooms, broccoli, iceberg lettuce, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots and avocado. The salad dressing made from sesame seeds comes in a separate bowl which is well blended and added to the salad and well tossed makes it into a perfect dish. Actually, I find that this can be just a complete meal by itself. Another thing I found out about the seaweed is that the ones served in a dish are in the original lengths and the ones being served on top of sushi rolls are being chopped fine and they are not as crunchy as the long ones. Free flow of hot genmai tea is RM 2.00. Overall, this is a very satisfying meal.
Tofu Salad - RM 10.90 (This is a new item on their menu)

Udonlicious @ Marufuku, Jaya One - one of the few places that serves freshly made udons
Marufuku is a modern Japanese eatery with self-service expected during busier hours. According to Marufuku, they are the first and only eatery that serves fresh udon in Malaysia. Serving only locally handmade udon, Marufuku offers really tasty and good value Japanese food. Starting from RM6, Marufuku has got to be one of the best places to savor Japanese Udon.
Unfortunately, the only option when it comes to mains, vegetarian only the Salada Udon (RM8) to choose from. However, it is very unique as the udon, topped with julienne carrots, cucumbers, tofu, egg and spring onions, is served cold and drizzled with a very fragrant sesame sauce. The sesame sauce was so fragrant that I am actually craving for more when I am writing this!
Another must-try is the Blood Orange Sorbet Yes, it is actually served in the "remains" of the real fruit!

Splendid Spread and Tempting Treats at Sushi Tei, Malaysia
There's something addictive about Japanese food that keeps me craving for more. I think it's the simplicity that makes Japanese food taste so good.
Veggie Tempura Bento Deep fried vegetable tempura served on a box of steaming hot Japanese rice. Make sure you as for some daikon (Japanese sushi) to be put in the soy sauce for dipping the tempura :) Kanpyo maki and Oshinko maki I love it how the sushi at sushi tei is made up of more filling than rice. Yum. Check out how much pickled gourd and picked daikon (white radish) were used in this dish!
Edamame I noticed that every "branch" had exactly two edamame attached to it. Is it really the case or is it a japanese tradition to serve only two edamame with each stick? haha
Tamago maki Egg filled sushi. :)
Kappa maki I believe this is rather unique as the chef added a generous amount of sesame to this dish. The fragrance of the sesame seeds was a perfect compliment to the crunchy cucumber which is refreshingly satisfying.
There are 3 sushi teis in town. 1) Tropicana City Mall (Petaling Jaya) 2) Pavilion Kuala Lumpur 3) The Gardens Mall, Mid-valley City
I'm back to try more goodies at MG Cafe, Sri Hartamas
I'm back for the usual feast at MG Cafe. Luckily my friends were not as "loyal" as me, so I do have a few new items to share with all of you, and of course, to highlight my usual favorites!
Assam Laksa
Faithful followers of this blog would know that this is what I ordered. I don't know, but I never had the urge to try anything else at this eatery as I am still extremely obsessed with this bowl of delicious assam laksa.
Rendang Donburi Here's another Malaysianized Japanese dish where the accompaniments are 'Mutton' Rendang. I guess it's somewhat similar to Nasi Rendang except the rice used is not cooked in coconut milk.
Sambal Onigiri This is a Malaysianized Onigiri as the filling is made from a sambal flavored mushroom stalk. Extremely tasty and definitely worth a try.
Chocolate Brownie Indulging in this after enjoying my usual favorites has got to be the best way to cap off a great meal. It was not too dry, nor was it too wet. I actually think this is better than the Brownies served at Secret Recipe!
It is always a pleasure to dine at Chef Low as we always expect sumptuous food and efficient service. I was told that the management is looking into introducing a new menu soon. I was torn with the decision as I do have a few favorites on the old menu that I wouldn't want to be taken off, however, I must admit, I am running out of new things to try and the management has chosen a right time to initiate the change. Meanwhile, do check out this eatery before the new menu is rolled out!
Fruit Tea RM9.90 for a whole potful of fruit tea. I particularly like the refreshing and soothing feeling after each sip. This is a very good and healthy option for family with kids as they will definitely love this!
Curry Vegetables A great dish if you are in for all natural veggies to go with a bowl of warm rice.
Black Pepper Udon Yum, I cannot describe how fantastic the combination of black pepper and udon is! The person that thought of the combination is a pure genius in culinary arts!
A very satisfying bowl of almond jelly with mango puree. The freshly cut apples added a crunchy edge to this delicious dessert.
I'm back for more bento box at DeliVeg. I'm a huge fan of Japanese food. Japanese food combines a few simple ingredients to create a tantalizing feast. It's so addictive that Malaysians and Singaporeans, in particular, would queue for hours just to dine in certain Japanese eateries. Being a vegetarian, although I am only restricted to certain items on the menu, I would also flock these eatery to satisfy my cravings.

One voice, one vision, one verdict. Global Vegetarianism.
Zakana Kats - $ 8.90 I personally like this dish a lot! The 'fis-' was deep fried to perfection and went well with the mayonnaise-like sauce. Very good value as it came with a side salad and miso soup.
Claypot rice - $ 7.00 The rice was burnt when it got to our table. This was much better during our previous visit, wondering what happened =( However, kudos to the chef for actually attempting to cook the rice in the claypot though!
Ebi Tempura - $ 9.00 The "prawns" tasted very "floury" and I did not find much satisfaction in this dish. Would have preferred a more springy and chewy feel. Nevertheless, the crispy outer managed to save the day.
Laksa - $ 7.00 This dish is actually more appetizing than it looks, and I'm very thankful and actually surprised that
Soup comes with Laksa What a weird combination! Laksa with apple soup. haha. I like the soup though, very unique on its own, a little weird when served together with laksa. =.= Apple juice - $ 3.00 A very normal glass of freshly juiced apple.
All in all, I would go back for the bento boxes as they still remain the highlight of this eatery. If they are serious about keeping their business alive, they really need to improve on the other items. Any readers who frequent this eatery, would appreciate it if you would share your experiences with us :)

"O" . Yes this is the name of the restaurant, from only one alphabet. It is simple yet special, just like the unique dishes served at this restaurant. I found from the manager that this is a branch of Organic Recipe at the Casa Condominium in Bandar Utama. Unfortunately. I find that the original Organic Recipe has dropped a lot in cleanliness and I hope something can be done about it.
O boasts 100% natural ingredients
Comfortable interior
Loh Mee Not the best Loh Mee that I have tasted but it is definitely one of the top ones. I am surprised at the various cuisines the chef at O can whip up and yet meet your expectations for each and every dish!
Tom Yum Noodles Yum Yum!
Bitter Gourd Hor Fun (Special transparent Hor Fun)
Basil Fried Meehoon The basil and fresh chilies compliments the fried meehoon. It was not oily at all! The side salad was farm fresh.
Mushroom Soup
Ginger Fish A little too much ginger was used. Some of them in our group found it a bit too bitter but to me it was okay.
Seaweed Rice Balls A little dry but still tasty, goes very well with the fresh lettuce under each seaweed ball.
Sesame Honey Mushrooms so good we ordered it again during our 2nd visit
Two avid vegetarians are here to share some insights to the world of vegetarianism.
Hopefully, through this site, the lives of some animals can be spared. Always remember, animals have feelings too, they are our friends not our meal.
A yummy meal indeed!!! This is where I start craving for my 2nd bowl but the unfortunate thing about takeaways is that you can never have seconds unless you plan ahead!
