Kampachi @ Equatorial Penang

Here I am with good food again - The famous Japanese restaurant - Kampachi. A treat from someone else again. LOL envy me ? I have been eating sumptious food for the past 2 weeks without paying a single cent! Thank God for pampering me :-)

Kampachi is Equatorial's Japanese restaurant. The taste of the food here is somewhat "Japanese", not being localised.


Cozy environment


I started with the main course. I ordered Kampachi Bento (RM 68).
This set is stronly recommended for people whom like to taste a little of everything.
It consists of sashimi (salmon, maguro and squid), Prawn Tempura, Fried chicken and fried salmon. Also some "oden" - Japanese Yong Tau Foo? (in the middle compartment between tempura and fried salmon in pic below)
The set also comes with chawan mushi(steam egg) and miso soup (traditional soya bean soup).


I also ordered a side dish for sharing, which is Japanese's famous and favorite "Natto". It is fermented soya bean. Japanese eat them together with white rice for some additional taste. Like "bovril", we eat locally here. Natto is very nutritious. At Kampachi, Natto is served together with some sashimi (maguro). (RM 18 /bowl)


My friend ordered a conservative set - all cooked food. She prefers some noodles and rice. This is recommended for those whom doesn't like sashimi.


For sashimi lovers, you just can't get away their tempting Sashimi Moriawase (RM150). This is assorted raw fish. We ordered one for sharing too! This is the 2nd most expensive sashimi in Kampachi. The most expensive one is Toro Sashimi (RM160)(belly of salmon). We did not order this as it contains only 5 slices of Toro. nmm... not really enough for us. ;-) Toro is shown at the bottom pic- left upper corner.


My favorite sashimi is salmon and ikura(Salmon fish egg). Ikura is shown at right bottom of pic above. nmm... yummy.

By this time, we all were really full. Yet again, a complete meal will come with a dessert? I ordered Red bean soup with 3 balls of glutinuous rice. (RM 10 / bowl).

The red bean soup is quick thick. Not like the local chinese red bean soup. It is not added with coconut milk too. It tastes good. You may also order this for sharing.

Overall comments:
1) The environment, service, taste of the food - satisfied.
2) The decoration, appearance of food - satisfied.
3) The utensils used - nmm... need improvement for some. Look at this. It's old and most of the paitings on the bowl has gone.


If someone were to treat me again, I will come again. ;-)
