I lost the football bet with Mr D, and have to treat him Japanese food. ARghhhhh~

We went to Sushi Zanmai at The Gardens, next to Mid Valley in KL. They have varieties of sushi there, and everything looks yummy! We ate quite a lot but I’m too busy eating instead of taking photos. hahah. The spider roll (photo below) is really good. It has soft shell crab in it and with mayonnaise.. hmm~ yummy. The cawanmushi is good as well! *drools*

According to Mr D, he said other outlets of zanmai doesn’t taste as good as the one in The Gardens.  Another friend of mine told me the same thing as well. So maybe you guys would like to try out the different outlets and let me know :p

I have to say the sushi are quite good, better than Sushi King or Sakae Sushi. Nice ambience, good service. Thumbs up! Highly recommended for sushi lovers.

You can get the address of the other outlets at their website, but here’s the address of the one we went to.

Without an oven, there’s not many cakes you can make. I love this no-bake cheesecake or so called chilled cheesecake. No Oven required!!! Yeah, chilled cheesecake. Toppings, up to you. Flavors, up to you ^^ . For the chocolate toppings, I used the combination of chocolate morsels and cadbury chocolate. 60% morsels, 40% cadbury milk chocolate. As for the konyaku, I put in kiwi, peach and strawberry for the decoration.

I made (not bake, lol) this lemon cheesecake, one with chocolate toppings and another with fruits toppings + konyaku jelly. The thing is, I didn’t use philadelphia cream cheese as I can’t find it at the nearest supermarket. So I used some other cream cheese and end up the cheese melts easily when came out from the freezer. So.. don’t use cheepo cream cheese. haha… After noticing that the cheesecake cheese melts like 5 minutes after it’s out from the fridge, David helps me to rename it to “Ice Cream Cheesecake”. Wah sei… sounds so good. Anyway, you can see that I made the cakes in camping mess tin >”<

Here’s the recipe for the no-bake cheesecake :-

• 1 package (8 ounces) of cream cheese, softenened
• 1 can (14 ounces) of sweetened condensed milk
• 1 can of evaporated milk
• 1/2 cup of lemon/orange/lime juice (optional)
• 1 package of digestive biscuit
• 1 block of butter

Steps

1. Crush the digestive biscuits with a spoon few pieces at a time, and mix with butter gradually. This will be the base of the cheesecake.
2. Compact the digestive biscuits which has been mixed with butter to a deep tray or container. Make sure the base is not too thick, and have enough butter to make the base stay.
3. Put into freezer, let it freeze for a while to harden. Probably around 30 minutes.
4. Beat the cream cheese until smooth, gradually add in sweetened condensed milk and evaporated milk. Beat until the mixture is smooth.
5. Add in the lemon/lime/orange juice if you want to.
6. Pour the mixture onto the base or crust which you have refrigerated.
7. Freeze for another 2-3 hours or more, until the cheese is firm.

Toppings :

1. Melt chocolate morsels, or cadbury chocolate, or baking chocolate, or any chocolate based on personal preferences.
2. Pour the chocolate onto the cheesecake after the cheese has been frozen until firm.
