| Daidomon Go North!
Heard that Daidomon been moving up north and had an outlet in KL since last year, oways drop by KL but was too busy to pay them a visit. Finally, my day has come, a friend of mine who willing to bring me there( cos it is located at Ampang area, heavy jam area after 5pm at weekday.We are talking about 5 mins drive from KLCC if it is not jam and can cost u 45 mins to 1 hour from KLCC if jam...sound scary?)
Anyway,we play smart and safe,i arrive at Great Eastern mall by 5pm,hang around for a while then we go in to the restaurant by 6pm,right after they start their dinner operation.
A BIG WOW come out from my mouth....oh man, daidomon in KL are so so different from Daidomon in SG, the new outlet in KL look so grand,they even has a lobby with sofa set,TV before you enter the main dinning hall.....and the restaurant size is 3-4 times bigger than the 1 they had in SG! ( perhaps properties in KL is not as hot as SG,haha...)
Even after we had been seated, my eyes can't help but keep on looking around......phew....ok ok, let's go back to our topic,food!
The ala carte price are good,mostly about the same as SG 1 after u convert dollar to ringgit....but, they are having their promo fort their buffet! RM68++ only per person, i thought i saw wrongly so i double check again with their buffet menu,wow,the same menu as SG serve,but the price was RM68++?SG buffet at $58++,after convert will be RM137, so this is more like daidomon Grand sale!
we decided to go for the buffet and wanna check out as if the meat quality are the same or not.....and i order a bottle of very nice sake recomment by the staff,a gold metal winning sake from nigata,Call Shirataki Jozen Kinsho.....
The Sake was so nice,very smooth end,just a litle bit of dry and sour when u drink it,but the moment u let it slip through your troat,it was so smooth.....this is the typical character of Nigata.
As usual,i order their Karubi(belly tender),tan(tongue),honetsuki karubi(Rib),Ebi(prawn),Hotate(scallop),Shitake Mushroom,garlic,japs sweet potato,oxtal soup,Yukke(raw beef with egg york) plus this time round, i order their tempura,sushi,sashimi and some starter as well cause i wanna find out are their Kl standard are the same as Sg or not...
hmm......im surprise by the sequence they served the food,very well train staff indeed.They serve me my ajitsu itako,the marinated baby octopus,assorted pickles 1st then the sashimi.then tempura and sushi.
Last they serve my the BBQ item.Yummy man, the meat they had in KL are the same as they had in SG.....standard is there,not easy hur~ KL and SG are seperated by 316KM and they can manage the both place well.
Ah...they use charcoal in KL,instead of gas like the 1 they had in SG.( But it seems like the charcoal bowl is a bit too small, cos most of time the heat from the charcoal was not strong enough to grill my food if i place it at the side of the "net", need to improve on this.)
The service is KL is very attentive, they change my net very ofthen and they never let my sake cup empty,( is it because of i order a bottle of sake with the price tag of RM500? ) : ) haha, anyway, i oways preffer to visit a restaurant on weekday instead of wekkend cos i wanna to be served,and served good. i dun wanna wait too long for my food or else i will lost my head and blowed off.
Conclusion, if don't wanna add in the "a bit expensive" sake, my bill for 2 buffet only cost me less than RM160.....which is equalavent less than 70 dollar sings, where by if i had buffet in Daidomon sg will cost me about 140 sings....haha...so you do the maths and tell me worth it or not.......
Worth trying, for the atmosphere,the Bargain price but high end standard of buffet.....try to be there early,or else u will regret when u stuck in the traffic jam! |
