Matsu Restaurant Lone Pine

Matsu Restaurant Lone Pine, originally uploaded by andreaban2009.

We had Japanese food in Penang. No Char Kuey Teow for us...or Nasi Kandar:) The dinner was an organized event for a group of people. Matsu is located in Lone Pine resort Batu Feringghi. A short walk from Rasa Sayang Shangrila. ( We cheated and got a buggy ride 3/4 of the way there) It's a nice restaurant with loads of glass. The picture if the steps you walk up. On the ground floor is the bar. The steps lead you to the restaurant. The sense of space is lovely. You see bits of greenery around you. And there's a choice of seats outside. But it was so warm in Penang I was glad to be inside.

Ambience 8/10. The lightning is very nice at night. Service was a little slow. Perhaps we were a huge crowd. The mains took its time coming. And food came slowly in stages. But they were attentive enough. I got a glass of wine at the end of dinner when we went down to settle the bill. The Sashimi and wasabi were both fresh. The udon was pretty good. The sushi was a little friable. It disentegrated before reaching my plate...so I used the spoon instead. Very un-japanese like I know. A nice place for atmopshere:)
