How I Used My Cypher Card to Pay for Japanese Food in Malaysia

Last night, I had dinner with my cousin at Go Juu-Ya, a cozy Japanese restaurant in Kuchai Lama. The vibe was chill and the food hit the spot. If you’re looking for authentic Japanese food at decent prices, this place is worth checking out.

What We Ordered

We were pretty hungry and ended up ordering quite a bit:

  • Tamago Mentai Sushi
  • Avocado Sushi
  • Buta Hamburg Don
  • Buta Belly Don
  • Salmon Sushi
  • Hamachi Sushi
  • Salmon Laici Skewers
  • Unagi Sushi
  • Salmon Salsa Bite
  • Iced Green Tea

The total bill came up to RM105.10 for three people. Not bad at all for a solid meal.

I Paid Using My Cypher Crypto Card

Instead of using my debit card, I paid with my Cypher crypto card. The system converted my crypto and the final amount came to $25.49 USD.

That worked out to around $8.49+ USD per person. For sushi? That’s a win.

Location: Go Juu-Ya Japanese Restaurant: Kuchai Lama, 50, Jalan Kuchai Maju 10, Kuchai Entrepreneurs Park, 58200 Kuala Lumpur, Federal Territory of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Business Hours: 12:00pm – 3:00pm; 5:00pm – 11.00pm (Daily except Sunday open from 12pm to 11pm)

Even Better, It Was Funded by Binance Alpha Airdrop

The best part is that the crypto I used wasn’t even from my own investment funds. It came from the Binance Alpha airdrop I claimed earlier.

If you missed it, I shared about how I used those same rewards to pay for a flight too. You can read that here.

Claiming Binance Alpha airdrops like this feels a bit like free lunch. And now it’s literally paying for meals.
