Shunka Yatai Ryori 1st Avenue Penang


A new stall was opened at 1st Avenue recently. It is located in front of Red box karaoke and chatime tea house. We saw it setting up for a while wandering what they were selling. Finally they were opened and we happened to need a light meal.

It is called Shunka Yatai Ryori. They were selling Japanese & fusion food. We were told by the server that Shunka were implementing Shunka Kiosk Concept called as Oden in Japanese. It is a Japanese traditional style kiosk, usually located in shopping mall, airport, MRT and so on. This concept has been started in Japan, Taiwan and China. Hence, everyone has the opportunity to taste the high quality Japanese home-style foods in Shunka Japanese and Fusion Foods. Shunka Yatai Ryori in 1st Avenue Penang is a fusion stall. When Shunka was introduce to Taiwan, they sort of blend in Taiwanese style as well. So Shunka Yatai Ryori is a Japanese and fusion food :)

The stall front view is gorgeous.

They were putting so many sign name so a bit confusing what to call the stall. Anyway the first though that came across my mind when i was introduced by the server was lok lok. Just that the ingredient used was Japanese ingredient or i should call it high class lok lok. 

The ambient there were cool but too blue for photo shooting. 

The kitchen was so big but i found that they never fully utilize the place properly. May be they have plan to expend their kitchen bigger in the future selling more food :)

All the items or food were cooked in their special soup. They were absorbed all the goodness and juices from the soup all the time before served.

Another cook station selling Cheese tamagoyaki and tamagoyaki. It was cooked slowly and carefully. 

They also provided various type of sauces. They were Wasabi, Mustard, Tougarashi (Japanese Chilies flake), Sweet Sauce, Rayu (Japanese Chilies oil used for soup), Japanese Soy Sauce, Tonkatsu Sauce (Sweet and sour sauce, i like this very much. Tasted like tamarind sauce), Tomato Sauce, Chilies Sauce and Mayonnaise.

Click the picture for larger view :)

The menu was very misleading. It mention set meal which is not a set meal. It was a suggestion on how you can ordered your food. The "set meal" must ordered a minimum of 3 items only can order the Japanese steamed rice RM3 or Udon RM6 or Soba RM6 or Cha Soba RM6 or Ramen RM5. The item you picked will charge separated. So the cheapest item price was RM1.90. 3 items will go up to a minimum of RM5.7 without rice or noodle. If you order the cheapest item, which is rice. You will need to pay RM8.7. So it is kind of expensive light meal.

Korokke RM5.90. It came with Tougarashi and Tonkatsu Sauce but you can always choose your own sauce to dip in. Not really a fan for this snack. It was crispy on the outside, soft and melted inside. A bit pricey for this small piece of snack.

Our "set meal" was ready :)

We ordered Enoki mushroom RM1.90, satsuma age RM2.90 and hapen RM1.90. Don't forget our cha soba RM6, so came to a total of RM12.70. The best thing in the dish was Satsuma age, enoki mushroom and the soup. It was a very expensive light meal.  

Sorry for the lousy food shot it is because my camera don't work well under blue light. Food wise they were using good quality ingredient. Packaging they were also using very good quality container but the price is on the high side. Beside that the portion was rather small for a guy but just nice for a little gal :)

Oishi Frozen Yogurt @ 1st Avenue Mall Penang



Frozen Yogurt is one of the dessert that are mushrooming up in Penang beside Taiwan bubble tea (Tea Secret, Chartime, Happy La Tea and etc) and Taiwan dessert (ZenQ, Black Ball and etc). So what is this trendy dessert that i am saying? 
Frozen yogurt (also known as frozen yoghurt or by the tradenames FroYo and Frogurt) is a frozen dessert containing yogurt or other dairy products. It is slightly more tart than ice cream, as well as lower in fat (due to the use of milk instead of cream). It differs from ice milk (more recently termed low-fat or light ice cream), which does not include yogurt as an ingredient. ~ Wiki
It is like ice cream but it is much more healthier version of ice cream. Sourness from the yogurt so some of the people not use to it but It is a favorite dessert for health concern people or gal. 


Actually there are a lot brands of FroYo in Penang, they are Fruzze at Straits Quay, Tutti Frutti, Mieleyo at egate, JCo, Hokkaido and etc. Which one is the best so far i tried? I had tried almost all but i found this new stall, Oishi Frozen Yogurt at 1st Avenue Mall, Penang is the best among all. 

There are few reasons for me to say Oishi Frozen Yogurt is the best:
1- Oishi's FroYo fruit flavor FroYo is using real fruit purée to get the real aroma and taste of the fruit. Not like other FroYo shop using powder flavor.
2- Oishi's FroYo never use Lemon Juice. Some of the commercial FroYo, they use lemon juice to reduce cost.
3- Oishi's FroYo taste better because they used really good raw ingredient.
4- Oishi's FroYo don't melt so fast like other do. Even melt you still able to see the liquid FroYo. I say this because i had bad experience on melting FroYo. They separated into juice and cream, which you can't eat anymore after that.
5- Oishi's FroYo sourness is average compare to all the FroYo in the market. Beside that they are not over sweet and creamy.
6- Oishi's FroYo is homemade recipe by the pretty lady boss, Cynthia herself. +2 bonus for her and her hardwork :)


If you are a FroYo lover, you must try this cause you will definitely fall in love with it :) If you are not you can also go test makan before you purchase. They give out small sample for testing. So remember go try out when you at 1st Avenue Mall, Penang. They are just outside TGV.


The overall look of Oishi Frozen Yogurt stall.

You can always take picture with me :)

They also sell snack, drink, dessert and fresh fruit. I heard they serve very good custard and milk shake. Pricing is quite reasonable.

You have to merry go round to see the whole menu :p

There are more then 20++ toppings to add on. So you can DIY your FroYo tower :)


The toppings are:
  


Fruit mix raisin, Cornflakes, Chocolate/strawberry chips, Macadamia nuts with oat, Almond, Nata de coco, Peanut, Gummy bears, Konyanku jelly, Smarties, Sunflower seed, Marshmallow, Kiwi, Mango, Dragon fruit, Peach slices/ fruit, cocktail,Longan, Strawberry(if available), Grapes, Mini Oreo, Munchy's strawberry snacks, Coco pillow biscuit, Rice, crisp, Hersheys syrup and etc. 


I prefer the Oat, Chocolate/strawberry chips and Hersheys chocolate syrup as my topping :) What about you?


  
Oishi have 4 Froyo machine. Flavors for the night were Original yogurt, Raspberry yogurt, Peach yogurt and  Belgium Chocolate ice cream. Yeah they have Belgium chocolate ice cream. I was told that some time customer came in group, some of them don't like FroYo then they still have a choice to select. Oishi  Frozen Yogurt is using low fat milk and no whipping cream to make the ice cream so it is still a healthy version of ice cream. Beside who don't like chocolate ice cream :)




All the flavor they had are Strawberry, Raspberry, Kiwi, Peach, passion fruit, Mix berries, Mango and Banana but you can only have 3 choice per time :)

All the seating at Oishi Frozen Yogurt. 

I love this welcome board very much. Planning to curi next time, muahaha.

Angel at the counter, don't you think it look like Oishi Frozen Yogurt logo?

See what i mean? STILL STANDING after 10 min ++ 

The most preference choices of the night for the gang, Peach FroYo and Raspberry FroYo. Me i prefer the peach flavor one. Purely because it is real ingredient and not artificial flavoring.
Below were the design from the gang, which one is the best? 


Got little red head from Emily.








Don't you think this is the best design? Simple and elegant.

Design from Criz.

My FroYo weighted 0.26KG. It cost RM12.74 but i only need to pay RM10.14 for that. This is because they having a Opening Promotion NOW!!! Shown below.

1st & 2nd week of January 2012, 20% off ~ RM0.39/10g
3rd & 4th week of January 2012, 10% off ~ RM0.44/10g
Super cheap lo, cepat cepat go grab a big cup.


Hmm, using another camare (Panasonic DMC-FS20) still not use to it yet. So when i shoot dessert photo, it out focused :P

After the my FroYo, we had the Honey Lemon, RM3.50. 


So guys, we Penang lang are very lucky for being a food heaven in the world. Now after eating all the great food you can have this healthy dessert for sweet ending :) Price wise and quality wise, Oishi Frozen Yogurt is definitely a better choice of FroYo in the market. So do try this out.
