Kame Sushi @ Sri Hartamas

At Kame Sushi, there is no a la carte menu and Chef Selection is the name of the game. Opt for the sushi kaiseki (RM80) if you are not feeling too hungry. But if you up for a big feast, choose the kaiseki, which ranges from RM150 to RM200. Nab a spot at the bar if you can because it is the best perch for watching raw dishes being prepared. 
Baby anchovy served with grated white radish was the perfect dish to kick off our meal.
Like most diners, we have a deep love for sashimi. All the fish were fresh, with a burst of sea flavor. 
Grill what everyone's craving for - Tender, Juicy Pork. 
Pop one of these squid's egg in your mouth and experience it melting with just a few bites. 
The shishamo emerged from the chef's kitchen shriveled and stunning. However, the texture was rather soggy, perhaps it was left at the chef's table for a tad too long. 
 Fresh, buttery grilled cod fish that will sleep deep in your belly
To wake up, put your tender heart with some fresh Japanese tomatoes. 
The sushi platter was mediocre, with classic flavors shipped to our table.
Ice cream waffles took center stage on a blue plate. 
 The Yuzu sorbet was fresh and creamy, packed with flavor, but light enough to leave you wanting more.

VERDICT: SOMEWHAT SMITTEN

  1. Yum to the raw cuts and sashimo which is perfect when a splash of lemon juice hits on top. The rest too looks fantastic and if I am in this area, I will give a try. Btw, Sri Hartamas is so loaded with Jap and Korean restaurants that sometimes I can't decide which one to try.

    1. You are right, there are many Japanese restaurant at Sri Hartamas. Another Japanese restaurant which I like is Aoyama (the green room), they have pretty good rolls there.

  5. i'm a fan of fish roe and squid roe. any kind of eggs will do! i wonder if a restaurant someday could do a degustation menu based on eggs: maybe start with a dish of fermented chinese century eggs, then something with a poached egg, then something with fish roe, etc etc :D
