I still vividly remember last Thursday when a bunch of crazy Master year students suddenly made up their mind to spend 60 ringgit on a meal. It took us thirty minutes to inform all my friends, another thirty minutes for brush up and another thirty minutes to drive down to Johor Bahru aka the Gateway to the famous Singapore.
Shogun Japanese Buffet! Our crave for fantastic Japanese food.
This gathering was our final gathering. All of them except me will be leaving UTM soon. They have successfully completed their Master by Course programme. On the one hand, I am still stuck with my research. I shall cut the story short and focus more on pictures.
Sashimi is thinly sliced, raw seafood. Sashimi, while similar to sushi, is distinct for its absence of vinegared rice. We usually have sashimi pieces dipped into a dish of soya sauce (with wasabi) before being eaten.
Did I mention that the fish were RAW? Eww… You may not like it raw but I enjoy them. Apart from raw food, you can still order cooked food. We tried squid (I even counted its legs), “kerang”, grilled salmon, and grilled fish.
No one bothers to try sushi anymore. Who would want to stuff their own tummy with vinegared rice?
Some ice-cream to cool our tummy down.
In case my parents or my relatives are reading this post, I would like to take the opportunity to introduce some of my friends here. On the left: How Ing, Ching Ching, Chong Keat and See Peng. On the right: Vui Jen, Daniel and Chow Ern.
This Vui Jen, is sure a funny guy. I can’t help but LOLed very loud.
Girls, take up Civil Engineering. It’s not really that hard. You can see Ching Ching is so happy.
This is what happened when you are educated the Malaysian way - spoon feeding. Spoon feeding doesn’t encourage creativity at all. Not me. 
Again, this is not a paid post. But I am offering the following details for those who would like to try this shop. I rate the food 4/5!

Shogun, Shogun, o.. i m drooling! Each time i go JB, i crave for it.
cloudet,
There’s one in Kuala Lumpur if I am not mistaken. The food wasn’t cheap but it’s worth the price.
DD,
What? You were here in JB? Gosh, you should have let me know that you were here. Though I may not be able to treat you Shogun but I can still afford to treat you some local food.
keeyit,
Haven’t been seeing you dropping by of late, busy? I counted how many tentacles (legs) the squid has. The answer is eight. My friends just can’t stop laughing. They told me in Chinese squid is know as 八爪鱼, meaning a fish with eight tentacles. LOL!
angeles,
All good. I enabled comment moderation, that’s why it took some time to appear. Nice to see you here.
anita,
Oh well. Shogun is really nice!
That day, I saw a man in his forties bringing his mother in her sixties or seventies for a meal at this restaurant. You know, she barely has any teeth to chew those food and I can see lots of wrinkles on her face. Teardrops almost fell on my plate when I saw his son preparing those food for him.
I am just getting a little bit emo here. At least this is a good reminder for me to treat my parents well and to take good care of them.
Hehehe .. yeah, I was there once … at first, I had culture shock when I saw all around me is full with Indians … I stayed at … errmm, can’t remember the hotel name.. but I can see S’pore frmo my room window.. very near to S’pore.. Skudai area .. or something like that …
And majority of the cars in Johor are modified ..
If I happen to go there again one business purpose, I’ll let you know!! Hehehe, its good enough if you bring me go shopping.. hahahaha…
