PIGGIN OUT @ MAUI, SERI PETALING

WOOOHOOO!!! Off to NEW ZEALAND for foooood!!!

ZaaaPPpp!!

Reality. More like @ Seri Petaling at a Japanese Restaurant with a New Zealander name – MAUI. So no they don’t do manly king kong style dances when you enter, no they don’t call themselves the All Blacks, no they don’t paint their faces with lines to cover their pimples and no they don’t look like hard rock rugby dudes who’s ready to  charge at you when you enter.

Contrary to all of the above, you enter to a soft, really quiet eatery with very pleasant waitresses guiding you very gently to your seat. With the simple set up, you kinda feel like you’re walking into a cloud. To add to the quietness and all, the restaurant is situated in between shoplots which are ALL closed in the evening. So Maui is the only shoplot opened in the evening.

Maui serves New Zealand lamb chop a la carte JAPANESE buffet. Priced at RM43.80+ for adults and RM22.80+ for children.

These people would only pay RM22.80+ to dine here. Oh sorry… pets not allowed.


The food quality is not-too bad. Not the best but acceptable. Sashimi’s were fresh and of generous size. They have a decent selection of Japanese dishes ranging from the chawan mushis, soba, sashimis sushi, handroll, tepanyaki, and ice cream.

One thing that I like about the place is how they practice their no-wastage policy. Instead of putting up signs to charge customers, they provide a “just-enough” amount of everything. From their “just-enough” wasabi, their “just-enough” sauce, “just-enough” dish size and “just-enough” dessert serving. You want more, just order again. I think this significantly reduces wastage which I am a great proponent of.

Here are some of the dishes that we ordered.




There's definitely more than that. Ate some and remembered I haven't taken a pic yet.










HYGIENE NOTE: THE SUSHI MAKER DID NOT USE GLOVES TO PREPARE THE SUSHI DISHES AND HAD A PLASTER WRAPPED AROUND ONE OF HIS FINGERS. SQUISH, SQUISH SUSHI RICE. SHAPE, SHAPE SUSHI RICE. WRAP, WRAP SUSHI RICE. ALL WITH HIS BARE HAND WITH A PLASTERED FINGER.
