Butterworth Cafe

Last week, I went to Butterworth Café with my friends. It was my second visit but the first visit I only tried the Tiramisu because my friend said they are famous for their Tiramisu. Too bad I did not take the picture of the Tiramisu but I can still describe the taste based on my experience. The cake is not very sweet and the tiramisu taste is quite mild. The texture of the cake was okay and the portion is quite small. To me, I still prefer the tiramisu from China House or maybe you guys can suggest the best tiramisu in town. Thanks.



Chicken Maryland

I wanted to order Chicken Cordon Bleu but the waitress said the kitchen has too many backlog orders and it will take quite a time so I decided to change to chicken Maryland. We did not need to wait for very long even though there were quite many occupied tables. The waiting time was around 15 minutes which is normal for western food. The chicken Maryland was priced at RM14 which I personally feel a bit overprice but to be honest the portion is quite big. The taste was like other hawker style western food which is quite normal. There is no wow factor in it and I guess that my expectation was high due to the number of customers I saw. However, there is one thing I really like about the chicken Maryland. It is the banana fritter because the banana's texture was just nice and it was nicely fried. I think they use "pisang raja" and that is why it tasted good.

Grill chicken with Italian sausage

Chicken Chop

My friends ordered the grilled chicken with Italian sausage (RM17) and Chicken Chop (RM12). The chicken chop portion was really huge. They also ordered the mushroom soup (RM7) which comes with garlic breads. The mushroom soup's taste was not bad but I personally feel that it is not thick enough for me. I would prefer thicker mushroom soup. That is all the food that we had for that day at Butterworth Café

Overall comment: The food to me was just normal and like I said maybe I had higher expectation before. There is nothing wow about the food but maybe it is because we did not order their recommended such as Pizzas. I saw almost every table ordered their Pizza but luckily we did not order, if not for sure we will not be able to finish.


Unkaizan Japanese Restaurant

I came across Unkaizan when I was surveying what to eat for my Langkawi trip with my friends. There are quite a number of blogs that has review on Unkaizan. The reviews by various bloggers makes me include Unkaizan in my to-eat list for my Langkawi trip. Our plan was to go there on the second night of our trip for dinner but unfortunately the seafood restaurant that we planned to go was closed on the first night. Hence, we went to Unkaizan on the first night without making reservation and lucky enough it was not full on that day. It was quite easy to find because there is no place in Langkawi which is hard to locate. There is a steep road going up to this restaurant. And thank God the old Wira that we rent managed to make it up. Alright, now let's move to the main point.....FOOODDD.

Moriawase umi sashimi

The sashimi was really nice and especially the salmon. This sashimi consists of blue fin tuna, salmon, scallop and octopus. The main point of this sashimi was the freshness in it. For a salmon sashimi lover, the salmon sashimi is definitely a must to order.

Salmon shioyaki set

The salmon shioyaki set can be ordered with a simple set or a full set. The simple set comes with a white rice, pickles and soup while the full set has an extra chawan mushi. I personally feel that the full set is more worth it. This salmon was perfectly cooked and it is really aromatic too. Besides it, even the white rice tasted delicious and the texture of the chawan mushi was really one of the best I ever tried.

Chicken Katsu Ni

Chicken Katsu Ni is a dish where the chicken was deep fried and then an egg is cooked on top of it. Some places served on top of rice but Unkaizan served separately. The gravy for this set was really nice but it needs to go with the rice otherwise it would be slightly salty.

Unagi Kabayaki

This unagi kabayaki (water eel) was served with rice but I could not remember whether it was white rice with gravy or some flavoured rice. The unagi was full of flavour and even the rice has its flavour. I believe the rice was cooked together.

Nabeyaki Udon

I ordered the Nabeyaki Udon because I saw quite a number of people recommended their udon. This udon has tempura, vegetables and egg in it. The soup was really tasty but becareful because it was piping hot when served. The udon was different with the usual udon I had because it was very springy and I personally like springy noodles.

That's all for my post on Unkaizan and I apologize because I am unable to show the price of each item due to I did not keep the receipt. However, I think the total bill was RM300++ for all the above and 4 of us shared. It was definitely pricey but really worth it. The taste of the food was really authentic and it gives satisfaction. Thanks!

Overall personal comment : The food was really authentic Japanese cuisine and it was definitely a class or two higher than those Sakae and Sushi King. Although very pricey but really worth the try. Will definitely go back again!
