MAIU @ Mahkota Cheras



Monday Blue...



After a hectic day, my colleagues and I decided to have buffet dinner to ease the blue after work. We were struggling on making decision either go to Contango Cafe @ Majestic Hotel or MAIU. At last we decided to go MAIU @ Mahkota Cheras for a try since we been Contango Cafe for a several times, plus there's many reviews and posts sharing on FB that recommends MAIU ala carte buffet which we never tried before.

Price for ala carte daily buffet : RM48.80+ for Adult ; RM25.80+ for Children ; FOC for children below 95cm. (10% Service Charge & 6% GST apply)

Something sweet to put a fullstop to this meal.. Green Tea & Wasabi Ice Cream




They provide many choices of food. But there's only 3 different type of sashimi - Salmon, Shiro Maguro (White Tuna) & Maguro (Tuna). They didn't provide Hamachi (Yellow Tails) which consists in the basic Sashimi Moriawase Asama (Salmon, Tuna & Yellow Tails). 



Beside, we were disappointed when the staff told us 'Dont Have Unagi' when we pointing at the menu picture of unagi sushi and want to order it. =(








Among all the food we ordered, we are most satisfied with: 

  • Salmon & Shiro Maguro Sahimi - Fresh and just okay thickness. 
  • Maguro Tempura - Vege & prawn remain juicy. Crispy.
  • Saba, Salmon & Salmon Head Shioyaki - Saba Fish is juicy and tenderly grilled. Salmon Fish Head is good and grilled perfectly, it's skin is crispy and the rich fat was melting in mouth once u eat it. Nothing to shout about Salmon Shioyaki, it's normal. Remember request for Teriyaki Sauce.
  • Gyuniku Enoki Yaki - Juicy and rich in flavour.



 

As for desserts, there's 3 choices of ice cream flavour - Wasabi, Green Tea & Chocolate. Topping with Red Bean Paste. Personally I prefer Wasabi more than Green Tea. Wasabi ice cream doesn't taste too strong as we expect, it's mild and okay with red bean paste. While Green Tea Ice Cream is too milky for my taste. Can we have a small bowl of only Red Bean Paste without ice cream?  =p

 




Overall, the food and service worth the price we paid. Food serve in short time after we placed orders and staffs are attentive too. But there's a big room for improvement for food. 

 




Will come back for another visit? No.
