Oyster Night dinner at Champignons at Oasis @ Ara Damansara

Champignons in Oasis Ara Damansara is a French restaurant serving freshly made french cuisine. Visited them as they have their first oyster night. The food were good and they have many customers looking forward to try their oysters.

Taste:8/10(Good. The oysters were good and quite fresh but the selection is quite limited and small size. The restaurant has wrongly estimate the demand for their oysters and we feel not enough even though we have taken 2 dozens. The first round were ok but second round oysters were small. Truffle chicken breast with risotto mushroom taste great with very tender meat and smooth. Sausages were great as well. A bit disappointing that they only give one lamb sausage on the platter. It should have 2 each).
Price:3/10( Expensive. The oysters at MYR7.00 a piece, truffle chicken breast with risotto rice at MYR45.00, house wine at MYR30.00 and sausage platter at MYR35.00).

I would recommend you to come here to taste their well executed food such as the trufle chicken breast and their homemade sausages. They have a good lunch set deals as well but of course its for other menu.


The size of oysters on first round selection is quite big.

Good house wine.

Nice oysters but selection is quite limited. Second round oysters a bit small and seems not enough for the customers.

You can opt for either soup or dry version of noodles/bee hoon or kuey teow. For kicking taste, you may ask for pork lard to be added into your noodles.

Taste:8/10(Good. Fresh seafood of your choice in noodles. The soup is clear and the fish was soft and sweet. They sliced the fish properly without much bones. The oysters is bursting with flavour in my mouth. Eat this with their home made sambal. Its awesome).
Price:6/10(Moderate. The bowl of grouper fish and oysters goodness cost MYR25.00. There are quite a lot of oysters in my bowl of noodles. The price depends on what types of seafood that you order).

Jyu Raku located on the famous Japanese restaurant row opposite Subang Jaya Medical Centre. The food quality is good as the competition is fierce there and there are quite a number of Japanese expatriate working there as well. I like their sashimi and sushi which so far are fresh and tasty based on my several visits here.

Best oysters from The Union Oyster House @ Boston, Massachusetts

The Union Oyster House located in Boston not only serving great seafood but also is a national historic landmark. It is one of the oldest America's restaurant established in 1826. The restaurant was also a favourite eating place for Kennedy clan and Daniel Webster one of America's five greatest senators. In this oyster house, you can really feel the local atmosphere and the history with many writeup and paintings on the wall. I came here during lunch time and were lucky to be able to have a seat at their oyster bar. I had a plate of their raw oysters and they were very fresh and taste the best.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. I just had their oysters here which were very fresh, juicy and taste great. Have a recommended Samuel Adams summer ale - a seasonal brewed beer which taste good).
Price:3/10(Expensive. The price of the oysters were at expensive side at USD16.50 for half dozen oysters).

Okame Sushi @ Tsukiji Market, Tokyo

Okame serving great sushi without waiting in a long queue if you want to savour fresh sushi of Tsukiji market. Just located beside two famous sushi restaurant - Sushi Dai and Sushi Daiwa, Okame is surprisingly less queue if compared to both. In term of quality, Okame does serve fresh sushi with even more pieces when compared to Sushi Dai and Sushi Daiwa. Having tried Sushi Daiwa before, I can tell the difference between both. I ordered "Omakase" course which was assorted sushi combination selected by a sushi chef, and quite like the taste of a few pieces of sushi. Some of the pieces with some salt on top of it which creates an intense saltiness and adds flavour to the sushi. This sushi restaurant is good and it is one of better the sushi bars in Tsukiji market area. If you have limited time and don't want to queue in long line, Okame is simply an option to consider and it will never disappoints you in taste.

Taste:9/10(Delicious. The sushi were very fresh and the taste is great. The sushi here is a bit different as some of the sushi have soy sauce ready and some is not. Also, some of the sushi have some salt on top of it which is quite unique. Their sea urchin, toro and fresh prawn is taste the best. Buttery and creamy. Sushi Daiwa taste better than Okame but it's not that far off. The difference is Sushi Daiwa have their sushi ready with correct amount of soy sauce and wasabi which makes the sushi taste better).
Price:2/10(Expensive. The restaurant does not accept credit cards and make sure you have enough cash. Their omakase set - chef choice price at 3,600 Yen. The price includes 10 pieces of sushi, a tuna roll and a choice of 2 extra pieces of sushi).



Long queue outside Sushi Daiwa and Sushi Dai.

Looking for other good sushi option which have shorter queue.


Came to this sushi restaurant. Okame.

Similar environment inside Okame compared to other sushi restaurants.

There are two chefs preparing fresh sushi.

You can see that the queue start to build outside.
