This, too, felt like a complete meal!If youвЂ™re looking for a quiet meal away from the crowds, Tropicana Club is where you should head to. The fresh fruits are cut into whimsical shapes and arranged around a little hillock of crГЁme caramel that sits on some green tea ice-cream. But TH decided to go for the crГЁme caramel with fruits. By the time we finished, we really did not have space for dessert. The noodles were a plump delight, all tender and contrasting with the crunch of the enoki. Overflowing with fresh mushrooms, I could barely see the noodles! The base is a fish stock and the bowl came to the table piping hot. IвЂ™m not sure I would order this again but it was worth it just to experience that paper bowl.The last to arrive was the mushroom udon. But the seafood was fresh and the vegetables tasty. The base is soya bean and a little salty. It comes with extra sauce so one can re-fill as the soup gets drunk.

ItвЂ™s a really interesting dish: the paper bowl cooks the food quite well and does not burn at all. This is a dish of salmon, scallops and white fish served still cooking in a paper bowl over a little coal fire. As we were dipping our battered delights, the Salmon Miso Kami Nabe arrived. The prawns were fresh and the vegetables were of the right size. Kin Shui TeiвЂ™s tempura was just that - good, but a little bit too oily. There shouldnвЂ™t be any oil on the plate so that the flavours of the ingredients come through. The batter has to be light-coloured and texture has to be crisp. It was a generous dish and made for a quite a satisfying starter.Next to arrive was the tempura. Last but not least, the portion of mayonnaise has to be just right. This sushi has pretty much become the test for me on the quality of a Japanese restaurant: the prawn needs to be warm and crisp, the rice slightly sweet and holding together, the avocado bright green without any brown spots. First was the Jumbo Dragon Roll, a deep-fried king prawn wrapped in rice and topped with avocado. In fact, I need not have worried about being hungry for long: even before we had finished off the edamame, our food arrived. In the end, TH and I ordered the Jumbo Dragon Roll (RM35), a platter of prawn and vegetable tempura (RM39), mushroom udon (RM28) and Salmon Miso Kami Nabe (RM39). The menu is huge and the colourful illustrations were helpful. My first order was a bowl of Edamame (RM9), I had to keep the hunger pangs at bay as I waited for the rest of my meal to arrive. It was good to see a familiar face from the days when Kampachi was the only place for tempura. They seem to have memorised the menu and are quite happy to make suggestions. There were a few families and some corporate entertaining going on - pretty much what one would expect in a private club.The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. Mid-week, it was quiet with only a few tables occupied.

The interiors are a tad dark, the one highlight being the tank full of bright red goldfish.

ItвЂ™s an attempt at making the space look Japanese, and to an extent, it works. It seems a strange idea to eat in a private club where one is not a member, but I suppose they need all the customers they can get.Kin Shui Tei is quite a large restaurant with the inevitable sushi counter, tatami room, private dining area and wooden partitions. There is a price difference, though, for those who are members and those who arenвЂ™t. This restaurant is actually part of the club but itвЂ™s open to non-members. If you have a yen for Japanese, give the flavoursome food at Kin Shui Tei a tryIf youвЂ™re game for some adventure within the safe bounds of KL, head off to the greens of Tropicana Golf and Country Resort for some Japanese at Kin Shui Tei.
