Ryoma

One of the days when I organize pictures taken in Penang, these were found & my fond memories of Ryoma comes back.

Ryoma http://www.ryoma.com.my/ is one of the finest Japanese restaurant in Penang (well, by fine, I mean expensive too) but the food quality is really ichi-ban! I shared a luxurious bento (with sashimi, grill salmon, teriyaki chicken & tempura with white rice) and some fine sushi with a friend. The meal ended perfectly with green tea ice-cream (topped with red bean paste).

Pic (from top left): miso soup with bean curd; white tuna (super delicious) & tamago sushi; luxurious bento; and lastly green tea icce cream

Food is great and service is excellent. We sat in a small tatami room with bell service, 1 ring & the waitresses in kimono will soon be knocking on your tatami room door. Guests are to leave their shoes when entering the room but sandals are prepared for guests' conveniences in case they want to go to toilet.

If you visit Ryoma, a toilet visit is a must too. They have imported the typical Japanese toilet bowl with water rinsing function. You get to adjust the water temperature & how strong you want the flow to be, nice nice...

Everything is nice except the English in their menu card. Try read from the picture (if you can, please magnify) to see if you understand what is tempura & where it comes from? I was absolutely confused but maybe you'll have fun reading it :p
