![]() That Sunday night was my first visit to Hana Tei and it didn’t disappoint. Some places can have such weak seaweed that you’ll end up in a wrestling match with your hand roll! Again, not every restaurant respects the crunch in the seaweed. The seaweed wrapper was fresh and crunchy, breaking off with each bite we took. Well, at least this was for my husband and I, while my mum, my sister and her husband had the California hand roll. Our last order for the meal was the softshell crab temaki or hand roll. Here, let me give your tastebuds a nudge in the right direction and show you what the six of us had that night for dinner. The food arrived fresh and cold (the latter for certain dishes), hand-made and prepared upon ordering, the slices of raw sashimi were nice and thick (as shown in the menu), the two bowls of beef udon noodle soup arriving hot and steaming in front of my husband and my sister’s other half. Each of us were given a menu that was unbearably thick (think of your college reference textbooks!) and filled with pages of various authentic Japanese items on both sides. Service was a little slower compared to the two nights ago when my dad had gone there for his dinner. As a result, families of four who came in either had to wait for a table to be freed up or potentially leave to find another restaurant. The waiters offered to combine both tables for the six of us. The place was a little packed that Sunday night and the only available tables were those that seated four. It’s easy to find seeing as they have a huge sign on the front that says, ‘HANA TEI’, all lit up at night. Both Chinese hawker restaurants are on either end of that row. My parents and I, my husband, my sister and her husband took a trip to Hana Tei, a snug little eatery in Lucky Garden located on the same row as Nam Chun Restaurant (Kedai Makanan Nam Chun) and Sun Huat Kee Restaurant (Kedai Makanan Sun Huat Kee). Of course, do remember that anything foreign can induce a get-wrenching total bill if you don’t practise the ‘moderation is key’ mantra. Finding a great-quality Japanese restaurant to dine at, and one that your wallet agrees with you, is quite difficult these days, what with the fluctuating petrol prices in Malaysia.īut before you sigh and walk away, there is a cozy little place in Bangsar that might change your mind.
