EMBARKING on a culinary adventure to Penang, theSun had the delightful opportunity to dine at UMI Japanese Restaurant, located in Lexis Suites Penang. Stepping inside, the enchanting décor immediately caught my eye, and I was captivated by the serene and immaculate ambiance that filled the space. The clean lines, traditional Japanese elements, and contemporary touches blended seamlessly, creating a harmonious atmosphere.
As I settled into my seat, I couldn’t help but appreciate the friendly and warm demeanour of the staff, which already made me fall in love with the restaurant before even tasting their delectable dishes. To commence this gastronomic journey, we started with UMI’s signature Salmon Skin Salad.
The dish arrived beautifully arranged, and the first bite was a revelation. The crispiness of the salmon skin paired with the exquisite goma dressing was a symphony of flavours that danced on the palate. This tantalising introduction left me eagerly anticipating the next culinary masterpiece.
