I come, I see, I Hunt and I Chiak Its mainly about food, some fashion, movie and the 'lengang' days of me~

Recently it was a makan makan period for all of us. Another latest addition added into my buffet is this Authentic Japanese Restaurant, Benkay which located inside Nikko Hotel. I have been told by many friends they serve good Japanese food, not until recently I had my mouth full of it.

With its unique name Benkay, only I know that the name is name after a historic Japanese warrior who was strong and courageous and loyal during the war period in Japan, therefore, with their name and the excellent quality of authentic food serving really a place not to be miss.

I sure do not mind to own a cupboard with a bottle of display like that, I sure wish I can have a sip of everything. Surely a great experience and would love to learn how to enjoy sakae in different style.

Diners can enjoy their modern Japanese concept dining area that overlooks a landscape garden with waterfall.

The very first place I had my hands on was their teppanyaki room, it was huge and I look at the 'tempura', it was huge, fried crisply and dipping into the hot garlic soy sauce is just yummy. With the prawns are big and juicy, 3 of us just rob the whole stack of prawns there.

In the hot pan fried next to Tempura, is the Teppanyaki area. You can customize what you want and the chef are ready to show you some skills.

I just love my 'Beef Teppanyaki' to be cook in medium with loads of garlic. It was cook well and the garlic slices are very crispy and aromatic.

After I finish my mini section, my eyes placed on their ‘Sushi Bar’, loads of fresh sashimi and handroll ready to be hunt.

And the best thing is I went through at least 3 rounds for it. The sashimi were very fresh and dipping it with wasabi and Japanese soy sauce just makes my nose flame and burst into tears is what I like.

As for today’s round of food hunting, I started it off pretty weird, after first few sections only I head to this cold appetizer section which is Scallop, Prawns, Oyster and a few more as it is located out side the restaurant.

I am usually not a big fan of oyster, as most of the places that serve that served it huge size which I find it very gross, but the size that was prepared in here was my choice and the oyster was very fresh that day, and I took nearly 1 dozen.

If you are a noodle lover, this would be a great section for you, as they had prepared a lot of gravy for you to top on.

6 types of soup base to be ready for you to taste and the right side are prepared in a small portion of soba noodles.

'Peking duck' skin will be cut into thin slices and what we need to do is we need to do it by ourselves, as in place a piece of the ‘popiah skin’ on your plate, spread the peking duck sauce on top of the skin, add on some of the veggie provided and place the peking duck skin, wrap it and ready to be eaten.

After all that, I need some soup to make it digest, my very first choice as always is 'Miso Soup'. Love it alot as it was not very salty as some other restaurant, perfect in taste and most of us like it.

Next is the 'Dobin Mushi'

Squeeze the lime into in to bring the taste a bit sour and after mixing it, it taste is clear, yet with salty lime flavor.

If you feel that you had not enough from what you can see with your eyes with these sections, then you still can order what is in the menu, ala cart style, with at least another 72 variety for you to hunt.

'Unagi with Egg Sauce in Pot' which the eel is very soft and cook in terriyaki sauce with onion, and the egg is just cook in the right temperature that create a very good taste.

'Grilled Mackerel with Salt', 'Grilled Cod Fish in Teriyaki Sauce', 'Sauteed Scallop with Black Pepper and Onion'. We are enjoying our fish~

A great meal like that would not be perfect if without desert which is a MUST to me. A great selection and my eyes had set onto this cake since the first step I walked into the restaurant.

this 'Cherry cheese cake' that I had set upon my eyes on. Soft, yet very rich in cheeze taste, add on with the cherry and kiwi sour taste, I am enjoying it.

If you prefer something chinese then try their 'Double Boiled Sea Coconut with Dried Longan', 'Chilled Longan with Beancurd', 'Chilled Honey Dew Sago'

A Japanese buffett will never be perfect if did not end with Green Tea Ice Cream, in this section you can choose, in one per scoop or 3 in 1. 'Vanilla, Black Sesame and Green Tea Ice Cream'.

Indeed it was a great authentic Japanese meal for the night, and most of us are very full with some of the guy looks like 3months pregnant, thanks to Sidney for arranging all this.

It was quite some time ago that me and my friends had eat all you can dim sum. As I remember on the last round was my colleague keep arranging Tim Sum buffet till got phobia of it and stop for quite some time till last weekend which was organize by Ken.

Then we head to Zuan Yuan Chinese Restaurant which is located at 1st floor of One World Hotel, PJ that pamper most of the tim sum lovers with their latest menu with an unbelievable price.

With chinese vase, and some look alike artifact had decorated the whole wall upon the nearby entrance.

When we were walk through pass the entrance, I just love their interior design with luxurious interior furnishing with traditional colour of red, silver and gold.

If you feel that you need more privacy or need some gathering, the sure do have VIP rooms to cater on your needs.

Not long after we were seated down, then the table was bombard by all the variety tim sum, while we were busy taking pictures of it, it never stop till the whole table is full, then I was like Wow! Wonder how are we going to finish it.

In this buffet I got shock that we get to order 'Steamed Seafood Dumpling with Superior Stock and Shark's Fin' or as the picture below. I love this very much, with its strong taste that been steam for long time, and the seafood dumpling remains soft and filled with ingredients. Recommended this compare with another one.

'Braised Shark Fin's with Crab Roe' is a bit starchy and added on with vinegar, it just taste awesome.

I just like their vinegar taste that make the whole soup so nice.

'Water Prawn Noodle' is served next in the set menu with a plate each. Chewy juicy prawns hints the freshness of it and end with an egg top on it.

The 'Chili Oil' is something that I constant attack on, as its very fragrance, a bit salty and with dried shrimps and not very spicy.

'Pan Fried Shanghai Dumpling' I always bite open the tip of it and stuff it with Ginger Vinegar that served upon. Just loving it as its been pan fried well on one side of it.

This is my frist time with 'Steamed mince Squid Ball with Dried Octopus and Crab Stick' as I thought it was a sushi ball, it taste simple and nice.

As I always love to have my plate of 'Barbeque Char Siew Chee Cheong Fun with Sesame Seeds' added with their chili oil...

'Shredded Dried Scallop Chee Cheong Fun' as when bite on the scallop its juicy and springy, like the feeling of it.

Certainly this taste unique as 'Taro Dumpling Wu Kok Style with Scallop and Miso Sauce' the sauce itself had blend in well with the taste of the wu kok, a bit salty and crispy edge.

'Deep Fried Sesame Balls with Peanut Paste' crispy on the outer part and inside filling is warm and I like it. I had a plate of these myself.

With every Tim Sum that I always go, I must always end it with their desert range. With this two Behind: 'Double-Boiled Crystal Pear with Fresh Ginseng, 'Chilled Aloe Vera Infused with Lemon Grass' as both were rather chilling and refreshing, which is good for me to cool down to get the satisfaction of it. Surely a must have desert to end off your meal.

It was a great new discovery that with just only RM48++ we are getting such luxurious range of it. Definately I will be coming back for second round~ is available on daily lunch from 12pm - 2.30pm.
