Homegrown chain restaurants Nippon Sushi and MyViets are set to whet appetites with its new Ramadan menu that showcases Japanese and Vietnamese dishes with a local twist.

With its extensive menu that showcases the varied cuisine from the Land of the Rising Sun, the ever-popular Nippon Sushi features the savoury and sweet flavours of Japanese curry for its new Ramadan menu.

Sukiyaki Beef Curry offers a memorable dining experience as customers cook thin slices of beef in piping hot curry broth to their preferred doneness, while wholesome Salmon Head Curry Udon will warm and fill up tummies. Other curry delights include satisfying rice meals to hit the spot with perennial favourites Chicken Katsu Curry Don, Beef Curry Don and Beef Hamburg Curry Don.

Complementing the umami curries is the new Lemongrass Chicken Makimono, a creation that will bring a tasty explosion of Malaysian flavour to the Japanese roll.

For the light and refreshing flavours of Vietnamese cuisine, look no further than MyViets. Start with soft steamed buns with its Lemongrass Chicken Bao or Lemongrass Beef Bao, or share a delectable Summer Roll Grilled Chicken with Green Sauce that encapsulates the freshness of a Vietnamese roll perfectly complemented with an uplifting coriander dip.

Those who cannot decide if they want to break fast with a pho, dry noodles or rice can opt for the Mini Bowl Combo where they can choose 3 smaller portions from a choice of 5 scrumptious signature dishes – Pho Ga Chicken, Dumplings and Snow Crab, Spicy Pho Bo Tenderloin, Soy Noodle Chicken and Dumpling, Soy Noodle Meatball, Rice with Lemongrass Chicken.

Those breaking fast with family or friends can opt for the MyViets Ramadan Set, a full rice meal for two that comes with Black Pepper Beef Tenderloin, Butter Prawn and Sauteed Broccoli with Ginger Sliced, and an additional Rendang Chicken dish for the 4-persons set option.

Nippon Sushi and MyViets are fully-owned by the Nippon Sushi Group, founded Siti Noraini Nuawi who unveiled the two Ramadan menus at a joint event today.
