KL Series: Sushi King in KLCC Suria

Posted by ben Published in Japanese, Kuala Lumpur 2006

I brought Nanzaro to visit the Petronas Twin Towers. He wanted to go up the middle span which I had blogged on about two months ago. Unfortunately we did not get the chance to get up to the towers because the tickets for the day had all been issued. Too bad.

Nanzaro said that he wanted sushi. We went around looking for one and found a Sushi King outlet in the KLCC Suria food court. There are dozen of Sushi Kings all over Malaysia and is perhaps the most popular chain of sushi restaurant in the country.

Sushi King features what they call “revolving sushi” where customers sit around a revolving conveyor belt and pick the sushi of their choice from a revolving conveyor belt.

I did not want any sushi and so I just waited while Nanzaro eat. He picked the salmon nigiri sushi. He took two plates. I noticed that there are orangey stains in the plates from the salmon. I thought it was weird because salmon don’t leave stains. I think the restaurants colour them to make it look more vibrant. Yew …

Moreover, the salmon slices are so thin.

He also chose a maki … not sure what it is though.

Well, Nanzaro enjoyed it. That three plates costs about RM16 (CAD $5) which I thought was pretty expensive by Malaysian and Canadian standards.

Hi Ben - You’ve gone through quite a variety of food during your visit. And now Kaiten-zushi! Looks quite interesting.

Hi Kirk: You see, I learn something new today … the word kaiten sushi. Two more days to on the KL Series. Wait for my trip report to Atlanta. I had a feast every night!

Hey Ben,

I love kaiten-zushi. I used to bug my dad to go all the time when I was Nanzaro’s age. You’re right though, that restaurant doesn’t look like a good bargain.

I noticed farmed raised salmon have colour added to them. Here in the US, it would be stated if colour had been added.

yeah, i think that’s kurage-su maki.. kurage-su is vinegared sea jellyfish.. they serve vinegared sea jellyfish in chinese restaurants.. mostly as an appetizer [cold cuts] :)
