| Tao lounge in Juru Auto-city |
Tao is way too familiar for Penang people. Tao is an upscale restaurant offering eat-all-you-can buffet with full table service focusing on quality rather than on price. The restaurant includes specialties such as Japanese, Chinese, Thailand, and other foreign or ethnic food. Tao has been in Penang since 2006.
It was my pleasure to be invited for their food tasting! I'm not a big fan of buffet because I can't eat much, but I'm a super big fan of japanese food! yum yum! It's my first time to dine in Tao in auto-city, I've been to Tao in e-gate last time though but never in auto-city. My friends kept telling me that Tao in Juru Auto-city has really great ambiance, so I was really looking forward to this! Hehe!
 |
| Exterior of Tao, it might be a little hard to find, I myself wasn't sure this was the entrance ;p There's another entrance beside Nandos too. |
 |
| just beside iceice baby |
 |
| or you can spot Starbucks first |
 |
| If you enter from the entrance beside iceice baby, this is what you'll see |

| A private room if you want one |
I quite like the interior, really authentic I'll say. It provides customers with different choices of seats and experiences. The whole place is spacious with 300 pax sitting capacity. You can have you special occasion such as birthday, family gathering, anniversaries, banquets, special event, receptions and meetings there. Be sure to make reservation in advance with them ya.
 |
| A salad bar, take whatever you want! |
 |
| various fresh vege and fruits to be chosen |
 |
| of course, salad dressing is just beside it |
 |
| coffee machines, serve yourself with your fav drink |
 |
| Snack bar, you can't miss this out |
Wondering what's on the snack bar? Here they are:
 |
| Potato salad |
 |
| have some cooked fish if sashimi is not you cup of tea |
 |
| Jelly fish |
 |
| Fried fish skin |
 |
| Wakame (edible seaweed) |
 |
| Ready for the feast |
 |
| After exploring the whole place, it's time to eat! |
 |
| Kakihiroyaki, baked FRESH oyster with cheese mayo. FRESH! |
 |
| Prawn Mantis, fried with salt and pepper. The taste of salt and pepper was just nice, you might see red pepper but it's not that spicy. |
 |
| Spicy Tsubu (escargot), fresh and chewy! |
 |
| Lamb Teriyaki, I don't eat mutton but according to my friend, it's really chewy and there's no hint of gaminess. At first we thought it was beef coz there's no gamy taste. |
 |
| Gyoza |
 |
| Salmon teriyaki, my personal fav, apparently this is a must have dish in Tao. |
 |
| Sashimi moriawase: we had salmon, shiro maguro, toro, shime saba and tako. I can't eat raw coz of my weak stomach T_T my friend said it was all very fresh and simply delicious, especially the shime saba. His happy face and thumbs up said it all. |
 |
| sushi roll: from the left Ippon, chef's special maki and u-maki |
 |
| Ippon, yum yum! |
Lastly, u-maki. Unagi, mayo, sesame seed and cucumber wrapped in egg, no seaweed wrapping. I'm an egg-lover so this is surely a thumbs up from me. Worth a shot if you want something new instead of normal sushi roll wrapped in seaweed.
Instead of using potato like the normal korokke, ginko korokke is made of deep fried yam with ginko and sweet potato. So it taste sweet, unlike the normal korokke with salty taste. I didn't like the sweetness of it but it was overall ok for me, as for my friend, he's fancy of it.
Potato salad was the only thing we could try from the snack bar coz we were all too full to try everything. Sad case! But thanks for the hearty meal!
The details are stated on the top of this post, be sure to enjoy it with you family and friends. It's better to share one dish with more people so you can enjoy more variety of food. My advice is don't order too mush teriyaki food at once, you might get sick of the taste. Last but not least, enjoy the food!

| 2nd round! |
 |
| Green dragon roll |
What's so special about this green dragon roll is that, it's topped with avocado and mango. There's fried prawn, crab stick and cucumber inside, mango and avocado outside and the pinkish liquid you see is strawberry sauce. So imagine the salty food taste on the inside combine with the sweetness on the outside. I found it acceptable and delectable to some extent, but it's a no for my friend. You'll be the judge.
 |
| Ginko korokke |
 |
| Crab meat cream cheese |
If you don't like cheese, be sure to avoid this! For cheese lover, this is heaven. It's stuffed with crab meat and cream cheese, very creamy and rich in cheese.
 |
| Potato salad, mushy potato with strong onion taste, it's either love it or hate it. |
