Shogun Express

I have recently bought 2 meal vouchers from Groupon for Shogun Express, a little Japanese kiosk located inside of AEON Big, Mid Valley. It's a pork-free eatery, I presume they're Halal, because I see all the staffs are Malays. The voucher cost me about RM12.90, but it's a full set meal, so I thought it's quite worthwhile. The deal features are:

1.  Bento Set Meal with Miso Soup (Choose either one)

• Yakiniku Beef or Chicken
• Japanese Curry Beef or Chicken
• Teriyaki Chicken

2.  Edamame

3.  Mochi

4.  Drinks (Choose either one Hot or Cold drink)

Hot

• Cappucino
• Caffe Latte
• White Coffee
• Hot Chocolate
• English Tea
• Green Tea

Cold

• Fruit Juice 
• Ice Lemon Tea
• 100 Plus
• Coke

So for my first voucher, I try out the Yakiniku Chicken Bento set and Fruit Juice (only got Apple and Orange flavor). The Fruit Juice and Ice Lemon Tea are from the dispenser. Below are the pictures I've taken. The Yakiniku Chicken is not bad, the mochi is nice and sweet. That cup for the drink is the standard size. I saw other customers also served the same cup, so it's not fraud ;)

I'm satisfied with the food, I have no complain on this. The following is the menu board of Shogun Express.

 2 weeks later, I returned to use my last voucher. This time, I ordered the Teriyaki Chicken set. And this time, I took picture of the menu placed on my table, just in case the menu above is not clear enough.

 

 Unfortunately, I am pretty disappointed this round. The Teriyaki Chicken is hard and difficult to chew. And the edamame... Either it's not fresh or they have over-cooked it. You can compare the colour of the edamame from the first picture and the picture below. The first picture, the edamame is in bright green but the picture below, the edamame are dull and a little brownish.

Although my second attempt did not meet my expectation, but I'm not gonna boycott this place. From the menu, it seems they serve some good variety of food. I will probably patronise this eatery again and most definitely I won't be ordering Teriyaki Chicken. I will most probably go for Yakiniku Chicken or maybe I'll try their Chicken Bulgogi or Teriyaki Udon. 

The seats are pretty limited so it's best to come early. It's located near the Organic Food section. Enter from the back entrance near the Wet Section of the AEON Big, where all the poultry, vegetables and fruits are found. There's some food kiosk around there, too. I would love to give them a try one day.

Location: AEON Big, AT1, Mid Valley Megamall.
