Jogoya. The experience

I've always heard about how nice Jogoya is, how wide the buffet spread is, and how big the oysters are, and much more. From what I know, Jogoya is the best place for Japanese buffet and its posh. Its in Starhill. And of course, the price is RM106 a person.

On Monday, the few of us met up to go to Jogoya. Kam Fwei, Nicholas, Daniel Loo, Angeline and me. We paid up and went in. I can tell you that I was highly amazed at the interior decor. It was dimmed and.. (use ur imagination la)

So we started helping ourselves with the food. Unlimited Salmon, Oysters are among all the japanese food u can imagine. There are also pasta, steamed fish (chinese style) deep fried soft shell crabs, Tempura, bamboo lala, Fried salmon, prawns, Lamb chop, Haagen daaz and Baskin -Robbins ice cream and many more. It makes me feel as tho Im a kid in a candy store! By the way, I forgot to mention that Daniel Loo brought his VIP card which entitled us for VIP dishes like Cheese Lobster (everyone's favourite), King prawn, Spring chicken (Excellent! crispy and succulent) and i forgot what are the others already. Not so important la cos the main thing we took was the Cheese Lobster.


Cheesy Lobster

Among the other dishes we took are also these.


Donno which joker took this sotong. Take somemore didnt eat. End up didnt finish


Steamed fish. One of the popular dish among us. IT was so good, whenever this dish reach our table, we all fight for it


Actually to be honest la, I was so engrossed eating that it didnt occur to me to take pics of them. Haha.

While we were eating, suddenly out of no where, Angeline heard a familiar voice from behind, we all turned and saw Fook Sim! The fella initially said he couldn't make it. It was a pleasant surprise to see him. Then the conversation went like this

Me : Eh you paid already ah? We have VIP card here.
Fook sim : *grin* Havent paid yet.
Angeline: Hah? They wouldn't have let u in if u didnt pay.
Fook Sim: *grins* really la i havent paid yet.
Angeline: Cannot be la! U bluffing la.
Fook Sim: Dont believe! Come la we go out. Loser give 5 bucks ah!
Angeline and me: OKAY!

The 3 of us started heading to the enterance. I noticed Fook sim was walking slower and grinning

Fook Sim: EH u sure u still wanna go out ah? Come la turn back la
Angeline and me: *confidently* YES! Confirm you havent pay one!!

And then fook sim went to the counter and betul betul paid for the buffet... Lousy fella.. Kena conned

So we continued our dinner la. And towards the end of the dinner, Daniel Loo started telling jokes. Here's one of them





I tell you, it was so lame that it started to sound funny. And the best thing is that there are part 2 and part 3 which are.. equally funny.

You know, wierdest things can happen when 2-3 home group leaders are gathered. This time 4 of us are gathered. So you can roughly imagine or forsee that something is bound to happen la. And it did. And it involves Nicholas.. which is just.. wrong. Watch!





First and foremost, this video is complied and produced by Kam Fwei. Our talented video editor *applause*

The bet was for him to take the whole box of coconuts from the bar counter at the back to the table for 5 bucks from the each of us. He really did it. Lol. 25 bucks already the fella untung. But i tell you, when he took the box of coconuts from the bar counter, the workers were shouting "oi oi!" And 3 guys went after him from behind. But fook sim and i were blocking them. It was so funny that when he reached our table, practically half the people in the restaurant were staring and laughing. The punch line of the whole thing was when nick said to the workers

"Eh sorry, saya terambil"

If Im one of the workers, I would be flabbergasted to hear that reply. LOL. I tell you, I think from that time onwards, people who walked pass our tables would be looking at us one kind already.

Another crazy thing we wanted to do was to collect as many coconuts to fill the table. Whenever the workers wanted to clear our coconuts ( this sounds wrong.. anyway), we would stop them. "eh eh! jangan ambil ini!" But there was one time when we all left the table and when we came back, about 15 of the coconuts were cleared. So these were all that was left


Alot of coconuts


These are the coconuts that are left, imagine if the waitress hadn't cleared the earlier ones..


And soon after that, nicholas started being creative. He tried building a coconut castle.





Overall, I can say that its money well spent. Its been awhile since I had such a fulfilling meal. The food and company are excellent. We definitely had fun. This bunch of people are just really funny. Every single one of them.

You know, normally during a buffet, we secretly observe to see who can eat the most, and the champion eater for tonight was none other than..


I may be smiling, but Dont you dare think about it. Its mine!


We came home satisfied. But I got sick the next day.. i hope its not because of the food..

But I can be sure that there will be a 2nd time for me to this place

Wow!~

So expensive. But if you think it's worth it, then it is lah!

But you should give Shogun Japanese Buffet a go, if you haven't yet. It's way much cheaper!
