Restaurant Teppan Yaki Junction, Tanjung Tokong

Situated just next to Island Plaza, this restaurant sells quite good teppanyaki food. This place is not new, it has been here for a number of years already and it's one of the few restaurants to get an A for kitchen cleanliness.


There is quite a number of choices to choose from the menu. You can have the set meals or ala-carte. Each Set Meals prices ranges between 14 and above. You can choose to have chicken, beef, fish, lamb, seafood or even if you want to eat both seafood and meat, they do have combo sets. Each set meal comes with a bowl of Miso soup, a slice of tofu topped with minced chicken, vegetable-cabbage, carrots, bean sprout, onions; a bowl of garlic rice and your given slices of fried crispy garlic.

Cooking the beef slices

This time round I ordered myself Lamb in peanut sauce. Combination sounds weird but it was really good. Lamb was sliced thinly which made it so tender and soft. The peanut sauce was excellent- like peanut butter. Had lot of onions in it which I willingly ate up all as it tasted so good.

The next dish I tried was the beef cooked in butter. It was loaded with a lot of garlic - cooked and topped with garlic sauce. I can say the main ingredient for this was just garlic. So to those garlic haters, you best stay away from this dish. But to those who love garlic, this dish was good.

Then I also tried the Chicken Terriyaki which my grandma ordered. It was normal in taste. Found it rather sweet though as it was just cooked in teppanyaki sauce. No onions and garlic involved. It did not look that interesting.

Once our meats were cooked and served, next off they cooked the vegetables. In went the cabbage, carrots, onions and bean sprouts . with a little 'char char' here and there and a dash of salt and pepper, it was ready and served. Now this is my interesting moment about this, when the vegetables are still hot, they topped it up with thin slices of fish, almost tissue like texture on top of the vegetables. I don't know why it happens but these fish slices starts moving around almost as if they were alive. I guess it's due to the heat. This would only last for about a minute. Mange to get a video of it. Just see how it wiggles!!!

Then as an extra order, I ordered myself a Cawan Mushi. It was good and smooth. Had a huge prawn in it. No wonder it was priced RM 4.00.
