My Stay at Via Inn Asakusa @ Tokyo, Japan

Staying in Tokyo can be costly especially when travelling alone. And after searching online for sometime I booked a room at Via Inn Asakusa. The reason I choose this hotel is because of its location and short walking distance from Senso-ji Temple & train station. 

This is what you see once you open the door to the room. Stayed in a single room for 7 nights which measures 13 square meter. Paid ¥48,700 or RM1550 (rate was 3.17 at the time) for 7 nights. Breakfast is not included but you may have breakfast in their restaurant although it's cheaper to eat outside.

Sushi Tsen @ Atria Shopping Gallery, Damansara Jaya

Met up with a friend at Atria and have our lunch at Sushi Tsen. 

Set lunch is available on weekday. After checking out the set lunch we weren't keen on the choices and decided to order dishes from their menu instead. 

More variety choice and looking at the price it's quite reasonable. 

To order we need to write down on a sheet of paper and pass it to the waiter. 

Sushi on conveyor belt is really affordable with price ranging from RM1.80 to RM3.80. We took a plate each from the conveyor belt but didn't take any picture since it ended up in our tummy. 

Ebi Tama Don (Fried Prawn with Egg) & Tori Katsu Don (Chicken Cutlet with Egg) comes with a bowl of miso soup. It's pretty good and affordable for RM12.80 each for a bowl of donburi. Yum!

We ordered a plate of soft shell crab to share. When served to us, the soft shell crab look so different from the picture shown on the menu. And when we took a bite of it, we found it to be too dry as it was way overcook...or in this case way over-fried! 

A comparison of the dish with the menu. 

Service wise they are quite attentive although at times we may need to catch their attention. Food served pretty quickly within 15 minutes and if you're hungry you can always take a plate of sushi from the conveyor belt. We only tried their donburi and soft shell crab so we can't say a lot since we didn't try out other dishes. However we were pretty disappointed with the soft shell crab. As for cost wise, we have to say it's pretty affordable.
