Sushi Tei at Tropicana City Mall
Oct 20th
I’m sure when it comes to Japanese food in shopping malls, most of you would have locked down names like Sushi Zanmai or Sakae Sushi in your minds. Today, I’ll be introducing to you Sushi Tei at Tropicana City Mall.
Sushi Tei is located at the ground floor of Tropicana City Mall and it is at the side where Poh Kong and Kenny Rogers is. It is almost impossible for you to not see Sushi Tei as their entrance is somehow attracts attention. This place can get pretty packed during peak hours.
What’s Sushi Tei without sushi? I had a baked salmon maki which has a price tag of RM4.80 per plate. I’ve been here for a few times already and the salmon is fresh on every of my visit here. This probably shows that they only order fresh stocks to their restaurant. The baked salmon maki was good and its worth ordering.
Next is my all-time favourite in Sushi Zanmai which is a salmon mentai. Again the salmon is fresh but then it was slightly burnt though which wasn’t the case during my previous visit here. Perhaps they overdid it on my recent visit otherwise this is also a delicious sushi to have. A plate of salmon mentai costs RM6.00.
I am also quite a fan of their rice and their chicken katsu don is one my favourite. The chicken is fried to perfection and the egg goes well with the rice and chicken, a real delight to eat. This goes for a price of RM12.80.
Last but not least, here’s their ebi don. Ebi don is deep fried prawn topped with egg on rice so this is similar to the chicken katsu don except this is replaced with prawn instead of chicken. Another option if you don’t want to have chicken. Ebi don is just a ringgit more expensive than the chicken katsu don at RM13.80.
Verdict, Sushi Tei adds another option to the list of places to have a Japanese cuisine. In my opinion, Sushi Tei has set the standard of a good Japanese restaurant while Sushi Zanmai had been degrading as days goes by. Price wise isn’t too expensive and it is somewhat similar with Sushi Zanmai and Sakae Sushi. I would highly recommend Sushi Tei to anyone looking for good Japanese food.

Shuseki Auto Spa
Sep 16th
This may be new but it might be slightly outdated as this is an overdue post plus some of you might have already gave it a try. It is about the steam car wash by Shuseki Auto Spa in Tropicana City Mall’s B1 parking zone.
A lot of car owners usually put their car here for washing if they’re at Tropicana City Mall. Shuseki Auto Spa offers a variety of spa for your beloved car from a normal car wash to steam wash and many more.
Based on their claims, steam wash is anti-bacteria and it can also remove bad odour and it is also environment friendly. Besides, steam wash saves a lot of water as it uses only a glass of water compared to 2 liters of water for a normal car wash, that’s like saving double the amount of water on rough calculations.
Pricing for the steam wash according to car size:
Exterior
S – RM10
M – RM12
L – RM14
XL – RM15
Interior
S – RM15
M – RM20
L – RM25
XL – RM30
If you just want to put your car for washing without walking around the shopping mall, there’s a comfortable place for you to relax while waiting for your car. Perhaps there’s a reason for them to provide a comfortable waiting area? Maybe because even if there are like about 3 cars in the queue, the wait can be from 45 minutes to an hour. That’s too long just for a car wash.
Verdict, apart from the slow service, everything else is great. The steam wash does make the car feels cleaner , it might be psychological but I’m sure it definitely is cleaner due to the temperature of the steam which can kill bacteria and remove odour at the same time. Fancy a steam wash?
Penang Cuisine at Penang Village
Aug 1st
Have you been to Tropicana City Mall? If you are a big time fan of a Penang cuisine, Penang Village in Tropicana City Mall is where one could get a decent Penang cuisine, well at least that’s my opinion. Are you up for a try?
Penang Village, situated in a secluded corner on the first floor just opposite a noodle restaurant Pho Hoa. If you know where the cinema is, Penang Village is just at the other side of the mall. I’m not quite a fan of Penang Village actually as I’ve tried their branch in Taman Tun Dr Ismail and I find the food there to be on an average standard only. Since then, Penang Village was out of my list until I’ve decided to try again at their latest branch in Tropicana City Mall.
To start things off, their Nyonya Pandan Chicken was the appetizer on my table for the day. Their Nyonya Pandan Chicken is indeed tender and there’s enough moist as I’ve tasted quite a few in various restaurants and most of it turned out to be pretty dry. Moreover, the pandan is really fragrant and it does add a really good taste to the chicken. This one will be highly recommended by me at a price of RM7.90.
Next up we have their Village Special Fried Rice. With a price tag of RM13.90, it is served with fried rice on a banana leaf, prawns made in tempura style, fried chicken and a fried egg. Honestly speaking, their fried rice isn’t anything special, it still is good but I don’t know why they would call this special, perhaps it is the servings that comes with the fried rice so it is labeled as special. Nonetheless, this is still worth a try to me.
Last but not least, their Nasi Lemak with Beef Rendang was in my order. First of all, I would give credits to their effort in putting up a good presentation in this but I really don’t think such a long plate is needed for this. Food wise, it was tasty but I expected this to be better since it was a recommendation in their menu. Price? RM13.90 for this.
Penang Village certainly has a lot more room for improvements but it is still worth trying. I would say that this branch in Tropicana City Mall is better than the one in Taman Tun Dr Ismail for some reasons. Price isn’t too expensive and it is considered among the cheaper ones if you were to compare with other restaurants in a shopping mall. If you ask me whether to try this restaurant or not, I’d say yes.

Pho Hoa Noodle Soup
Apr 26th
If you are a health conscious person and you are out of idea not knowing what to eat, this restaurant might be able to enlighten you as it is claimed to be a health conscious choice by them. Also, this restaurant will probably be liked by those who are a Vietnamese food lover.
Pho Hoa Noodle Soup Restaurant has been in Malaysia for quite some time and I believe their first branch was opened in The Curve behind Baskin Robins but do correct me if I provided a wrong information. Another branch was opened not long ago in a new shopping mall here in Petaling Jaya called the Tropicana City Mall.
This restaurant is famous for their beef noodle and if you are going to order a large bowl of beef noodles, you’d better be hungry or else you’ll be having a difficult time trying to finish it off. There are a lot of variety to choose from even if it is just a bowl of beef noodle. You can choose from different types of meat to put in so basically I’ll call it mix and match.
The taste of it is good but it will only get better if you have a lot of types of meat in your bowl. The price ranges about RM10.00 to RM15.00 per bowl. To me, the price might look a bit pricey but it is definitely worth the money especially if you are seriously in hunger as the portion is really big.
I usually come here only for their beef noodle but they do offer rice and some Vietnamese starters. To sum it all up, this is one restaurant that I’d definitely recommend to anyone who fits in the criteria of looking for a healthy and good food that isn’t too expensive at the same time.
