Unagi Tofu Salad
My sister, my niece and I were at Mid Valley recently having a ladies' only shopping session. When lunch time rolls around, most F&B outlets looked so packed. Suddenly, I remembered a Japanese restaurant that enjoyed good reviews from fellow bloggers with a catchy name - Ninja Jones. I knew it is located at Northpoint but I didn't know where exactly was Northpoint (initially thought it was those commercial blocks located opposite Starbucks). After circling almost a third of the perimeter surrounding Mid Valley (and after much grumblings from my sis and niece), we finally found it!
None of us was really hungry so we opted for a simple lunch despite the many delicious-looking choices on their menu. Craving for a refreshing salad after an "unintentional walk under the hot sun", I chose the Unagi Salad (pictured above)which proved to be an excellent choice for me! Pieces of succulent unagi (eel) and tofu on top of mountains of fresh vege in light dressing, topped with a light drizzle of wasabi mayo and crispy croutons.
My sis and niece chose the set lunch options,
Katsu Don (not pork, but chicken and tasted average only), and
another chicken dish that is fried with egg. (This was better that the former).
When I first saw Pumpkin Pudding listed under Desserts on their menu, I knew I must try it. Tasted like chilled pumpkin-flavoured egg custard with a dash of milk. Not too bad, nice for a hot weather.
"Ninja" in action! No sight of flying ninja though.....hehe...
Went into the Men's by mistake (honestly!). Not fair, the Men's washroom was much nicer and interesting than the Ladies....

my fiance and my friends commented that da beef.... really good! as for myself, i like da baked seafood papaya :D
Everything looks good, I like the pumpkin custard. The chicken cooked with egg is called oyako don. Yup, the guys were raving abt the loos that day too.
Went there past Sun. Their chefs cannot handle the crowd. So, our dinner lasted 3 hours! Lucky I was with interesting company & the manager treated us to a fruit platter.
Next time I must remember to accidently enter the 'lil boys' room too!
Hi meiyen,
The baked seafood papaya sounds interesting but I don't recall seeing this on the menu. Must visit again and this time, shall give more attention to their menu. :)
Hi jackson,
Well in that case you would have to agree with me that the restaurant practices 'double standards' when it comes to 'this matter'.
Hi boo and tummythoz,
Well, you would have to 'accidentally' visit the gent to see for yourself what the big "hoo-hah" is about. ;p
haha i heart the food too!..the wagyu items are pretty spot on..
jackson: ham sap ar u..
U mean you went into the gents by mistake and yet can take a picture? Wahhh!! Salute salute. LOL!
Hi joe,
Hmmm..., must try the wagyu next time!
Hi precious pea,
Hehe, nobody was there ma. Otherwise, the men would be alarmed that there's a female in their loo snapping pictures while they...*ahem*
Feel like wanna go try it out too! how is the price?
Pricing is similar to other slightly upper scale Japanese restaurants such as Rakuzen and the likes.
