COCO.TEI Tokyo Japanese Cuisine (Last day operation on 15/2/2016) (Relocation to Hotel Holiday Inn Express)

HAPPY CHINESE NEW YEAR & HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!

We celebrated our Valentine's Day and had dinner at Coco.Tei Japanese Cuisine Restaurant. Coco.Tei which is always my No.1 choice for Japanese Cuisine, credit to it's fresh and quality ingredient.

Coco Tei Japanese Cuisine Restaurant, which formally known as Hajime Restaurant, reopened in year 2011 located in the heart of KL continues to serve fresh and authentic Japanese fine dining with a fusion of traditional and modern.

Coco Tei Restaurant was open space and well decorated with wooden logs and stone interior.  At Coco.Tei, you can dine either at the bar or tatami seating.

We reached around 7.30pm and didn't make reservation that day. It's fully booked! Luckily we get our seats at the bar. 

Sitting in front of chefs and enjoy by looking at the preparation of sashimi and sushi in professional way.

5 bottles of marinates plums!

We immediately served by Green Tea & menu. Time to make order!

Green Tea. Complimentary. FOC. More to plain yet aromatic flavor which required in Japanese Cuisine ( so you can taste every bite of sushi / cuisine ingredients).

Dinnerware.

Sweet sauce & soy sauce.

Garlic Fried Rice (RM 8). Thumb up to it's flavorful and garlic fragrance. Perfectly done.

Salmon Maki (RM 10).  Fresh salmon bites melted in my mouth! 


I have to highlight that their WASABI is added with some sugar if i am not mistaken ( to decrease hot level and bring out the food freshness taste).

Onigiri Ume (Plum) (RM 6). Plum Onigiri. Salty sweet homemade plum sauce on top of Onigiri. We expect there's a plum inside this Onigiri but it's only plum sauce. Too much plum sauce for our liking.

Coco Maki (RM 38). My favorite. Deep fried tuna fish with bread crumb, topping with eel and flying fish roe with special garlic and spicy sauce.


Crispy fried tuna fish wrapped in seaweed and rice roll, topping with a slice of grilled eel and popping fish roe. Perfect combination.

California Cheese Maki (RM 28). Eel and cheese topping California roll with special sauce. A MUST AND MOST WORTHY ORDER!


LOOK AT THOSE THICK SLICES GRILLED EEL! It's so fresh, perfect proportion of fats and meat melting in my mouth! 


Classic California Roll ( Yummy!!) covered with fresh popping flying fish roe. Feel so good when fish roe popping in my mouth while chewing refreshing California roll. I am happy gal!

Hand me the California Cheese Maki and no one get hurt! =D

CocoTei Lady's Set (RM 55). Sashimi, Deep Fried Dish, Steamed Dish, Grilled Dish, Sushi Roll, Soba, Relish, Salad & Chawanmushi.

Beautiful and unsophisticated decoration. Sashimi betwixt 7 small proportion dishes in rattan basket. Coming with chawanmushi and salad. Proportion was just perfect for a lady appetite. 

Chawanmushi. Super duper smooth and fragrant. Love the mushroom on top!

Salad. Appetizer! Taste wise.

Sashimi!!! Salmon, tuna, hamachi & butterfish. Absolute fresh and melting in mouth!

Grilled dish of the day. Grilled Saba Fish. Fresh and covered by delicious teriyaki sauce! Note that Saba fish has many tiny bone, be careful when you eat it!

Maki and Natto. I don't like this maki because of rice was too soft. Natto was ok, forget about it if you can't take strong flavor of fermented soybean.

Fried dish of the day - Fried little chicken drumstick. Taste normal.

Soba - Thumb up. Yummy!

Relish - Some kind of chicken salad. 

 Last but not least. Steamed dish - steamed chicken. Broth was super nice, concentrate and sweet!

The master chef.

The ambiance, decoration and food here were real, unsophisticate and nothing pretentious.  Scrumptious food at high quality and fresh with reasonable prices charge. 


Coco Tei also provides extensive collection of sake and alcohol drinks imported from Japan!

When the bill came, the staff told us that the day we paid visit (Valentine's Day, 14th Feb 2016) was last 2nd day they operating their business here!!! 15th Feb 2016 will be the last day they operate at Jalan Delima, KL. Such a waste for this beautiful place!

HEY... But don't worry... They will continue to serve authentic yummy Japanese Cuisine around mid-March 2016, relocate to HOTEL HOLIDAY INN EXPRESS.

Last memory of Coco.Tei which I had been paid my visit for 5 years (From studied in Uni till working now). So many memories here =(




Can't wait for the re-open of Coco.Tei on March 2016!
