The KSSP Committee rewarded themselves for a year’s of hard work in keeping its Sports Club members’ happy via activities like Go-Kart, 4WD Off Road, etc besides the annual events like Family Day & Annual Dinner.
There were quite a lot ordered that night and some of the dishes worth blogging from Kogetsu Restaurant are its Sashimi like its generous cut of Salmon, Garlic Fried Rice, Tempura Julienned/Sliced Vegetables (which I have yet to find at another Japanese restaurant!)



The above Cod Teriyaki was recommended by the staff, which in my opinion, was rather wasted as both the freshness and sweetness of the fish was masked by the teriyaki sauce. Wrong recommendation. Opt for another style of cooking

We also ordered some Kakiage (Deep Fried Oysters). It was a bit too oily for me due to the frying effect. There’s nothing special about this but the usual as in other restaurants. If you are the type that likes Kakiage, then it’s okay to order.

I had the Beef Teriyaki which is not too cooked nor rare, medium. It has the tenderness and sweetness of the beef as you bite into it. Bear in mind that there’s no rice served. You have to order separately. Worth ordering.

Temaki Roll or otherwise known as California Roll comes in various variety. One can have a choice of Unagi, Soft Shell, or the usual roll that has salmon, avocado, carrot, crabmeat in it. The rolls are usual, nothing spectacular and are recommended eating upon being served. This is because the seaweed will turn soft and no longer crispy.

My two highlights from Kogetsu are their:

i) Garlic Fried Rice which I have tried at other Japanese restaurants, but none had yet come close to Kogetsu’s. It has the right amount of garlic fried, not too strong until it turns you off, nor too little that you think its plain fried rice that you are having. The texture of the Japanese rice is just soft enough to absorb the ingredients that are fried with it.

ii) Tempura Julienned/Sliced Vegetables – Kogetsu is the only place that I can find this (maybe I haven’t been to enough Japanese Restaurants!). It’s a variety of sliced vegetables i.e. carrot, brinjal, ladies fingers, sweet potatoes, etc. The vegetable are deep fried yet you do not get to taste the after effect of the oiliness but the sweetness of each vegetable itself. Other Japanese restaurants serves tempura style vegetables when you order and despite explaining to them (local staff!) in either simple English or Bahasa, they give you the impression knowing what you are asking, and when served, its Tempura Vegetable not the julienned style.

Kogetsu Japanese Restaurant is located in Hyatt Saujana Hotel. You will see the restaurant on your right, as you are approaching the hotel. It is exactly next to the RP Club.
