Edo Ichi Japanese Cuisine (江户一) @ Island Plaza, Penang.

This is one of the most popular Japanese restaurants in this area. I suggest that if you want to dine in this restaurant, you better make a reservation especially at night and during weekend.

We been to this place for several times and I remembered that we left due to full house and without reservation. 

Food that we savour:

Unagi Ishiyaki - RM43

We love this eel fried rice in hot stone. The rice texture at the bottom of the hot stone is a bit crispy and taste delicious. Love the fragrant of the rice. The eel is very deliciously grilled.

Saba Shioyaki - RM19

We oredered this mackerel with salt as one of the dish to try out. It tastes very delicious.

We also tried this during one of our set lunch on one of the visit. It cost RM28 with a bowl of rice, miso soup, cawanzhen, pickles and salads.

Karei No Kimuchi Chige Ko Nabe - RM35

We ordered this hot pot with sole fish and vegetable in Kimuchi paste soup since my aunty loves Kim chi flavours.

My family feel that it is a bit spicy but for me is still acceptable just feel a bit salty to my liking.

The combination of vegetables and fish in the pot is very fresh and delicious.

Yasai Roll - RM19

Then I decided to order vegetables roll with cucumber, avacado, carrot and beetroot.

This vegetables roll is very delicious and tasty. We quite enjoy this compare to the normal sushi roll. 

Japanese Pepper

Kamo Shoyu Ramen - RM28

We were suggested to try this duck ramen since we would like to try one ramen. So since it is one of the recommendations, we gave this a try. 

The duck slice is very tender and taste delicious. We love the texture of the ramen. It is very springy and not soggy just like the way we love it. 

The soup base is very delicious too.

Tori Teba Moto Spicy Age - RM19

This is a bit spicy and salty for my family members. But it has a nice aroma and the chicken is very tender.

Food that we savour:

During our visit, we decided to take their set lunch. They have different kinds of set lunch menu with the price of RM18 only. 

Following were some of the foods that we savoured from the set lunch menu:

Peach Tea and Ice - lemon Tea

You have the choice of peach tea or ice lemon tea. It serves with ice too. But for us we opt for without ice.

Creamy mushroom chicken with mashed potatoes and sauté green

Chicken & mushroom carbonara spaghetti 

Black pepper chicken with mashed potatoes and sauté green

I actually ordered this for my lunch. The chicken is very tender and the black pepper sauce is just nice. 

Grilled Cajun Spice Tilapia Fish with mango salsa

I get to savour this too and the fish is nicely done.

Chocolate ice-cream

Matcha ice-cream 

You can choose from either chocolate or matcha flavours of ice-cream.

It's been quite a while that we did not drop by Dragon-i. Since we need to run some errands @ Gurney Plaza, we decided to get dinner there.

Actually this is the first time we had Dragon-i @ Gurney Plaza.

Food that we savour:

Braised Peanuts - RM2/plate

四喜烤䴲 - RM10

This is one of the cold dishes that we ordered. We love it very much. Really missed our month long holiday in China few years back. We get to try different types of Chinese cuisine.

镇江烤肋骨 - RM35

The spare ribs is very tender and the sauce is very appetising.

蒜香粉皮肉 - RM18

This is another favourite. Love the thin noodles that came with it. The pork slice itself is very tender and great in flavours.

四川酸菜鱼片 - RM38

Although its stated as schezuan style of cooking but it is not too spicy for me. Have tried more spicier schezuan food than this.

The fish slice is very smooth but it is not my favourite dish. I still prefer the cold dish.

雙菇木耳炒芥兰 - RM28

上海小笼包 - RM11.50

Kinda miss the Shanghai dumpling that we savour back in Shanghai. This dumpling is still delicious.

We decided to get two types of dishes so that we can savour different types of dish. Bah Kut Teh is one of our favourite. Both of us enjoy the soup very much.
