Dinner at Nippon Yataimura, 6 April, 2016

I have seen this Japanese restaurant at Queensbay Mall for many years, and somehow we never made it a point to try it until now. I have been shopping around to try Japanese restaurants in Penang, so on a shopping trip, we decided to have our dinner here.

For our meal, I ordered the Yatai Mura Nabe 屋台村鍋 (RM25), something I have never tried before. It is a spicy seafood hotpot with prawns, squid, scallops and fish, among others. It does not come with rice or any other accompaniment, but it suited me perfectly, as it is always so difficult to find a dish without any rice.

My wife ordered the Pork Steak Set 豚ステーキセツト (RM22.50). This is a set with various accompaniments including rice, tempura, salad, chawanmushi and fruit. But turns out she was not that fond of the grilled pork on account of the oil they use. I told her next time she should try something else that isn't grilled. When it arrived, she started eating, and was half way through the meal before we realised we did not take a photo of it.

Our bill came to RM58.90, includes unlimited refill of green tea. On the whole, I am very satisfied with the Yatai Mura Nabe at Nippon Yataimura.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
