Dinner at Umai Fine Japanese Cuisine

This year Jeff and I decided not to go our cousin's open house for dinner.

Instead we went to Umai Fine Japanese Cuisine located at 1st Floor of D'Junction building. I had wanted to eat in this restaurant since exactly one year ago and tonight I finally got the chance to do so.

We were the first customers for the night and after being there for a while, a couple turned up. As we were about to leave, a family of three people arrived. While the restaurant has quite a number of workers working, most of them can only speak Malay.

5 Types of Sashimi



Jeff and I love to eat sashimi while the rest of the family do not take this stuff. He ordered the 7 type of sashimi to share between us but only the 5 type of sashimi was available.

For those who do not really like sashimi, I suggest you order something else and not this dish because the fishes can be really fishy esp. the one with the skin still intact. Only with the help of a big chunk of wasabi the fishy smell disappeared and we could swallow. I have not had so many varieties of sashimi in one sitting and therefore I enjoyed this dish a lot esp. the salmon.

Chimi Moriawase is an assortment of baby octopus, seaweed, shellfish and fake sharkfin. It is quite enjoyable to nimble bit by bit when time is on our hand.

We took half an hour to finish the two plates. We rested for ten minutes and then ordered noodles with tempura.

The soup for the noodles was too salty and therefore we did not drink any of the soup. The price of salt must have come down. This is also the first time I have tasted prawns inside a bowl of udon.

Overall I enjoyed myself and were satisfied with the meal except for the soup in the udon.


When it was time to pay the bill, there was a 20% discount during CNY and no 5% Government Service Tax was charged.

I will definitely go back to this restaurant.
