Hoshigaoka Zen ($33.60++)
Consisting of an array of petite dishes including: appetizer, sashimi, amaebi salad, tempura, teriyaki cod fish, beef misoyaki, rice, chawanmushi, miso soup and even matcha ice cream, this is definitely a feast not to be missed! I especially loved the sashimi which is fresh and succulent. The beef was the other highlight of the set as it was really tender and well marinated.

 Ishiyaki Steak ($17.70++)
This was more of a ‘visual’ dish as we had fun cooking our beef to a doneness of our choice. It was simply enjoyable savouring bite size pieces of all natural, fresh and juicy meat.

 Green Tea Tiramisu in Chocolate Cup ($6.80++)
Two thumbs up for this heavenly dessert! The rich green tea tiramisu simply melts in your mouth and leaves a lingering green tea fragrance aftertaste. The dark chocolate cup was a perfect “post dessert” complement and we spared no time in cracking it into bite size pieces to munch on.

 Overall, it was a gratifying meal that leaves us anticipating our second visit here.

Salmon on Sushi Rice
2013-04-03 17 views
Restaurant Hoshigaoka is perched on level 4 of Shaw House. As far as I can tell, it's not accessible via the main escalators running up from Isetan to Lido on level 6. You would have to get onto level 4 via escalators within Isetan itself. Maybe it''s the locale ,but even during peak period at dinner time, the restaurant was pretty much empty and quiet. We were welcomed by a waiter and ushered promptly to our seats. Salmon Don - $14.50 I ordered the Salmon Don which was a very simple dish indeed

 Salmon Don - $14.50
I ordered the Salmon Don which was a very simple dish indeed - raw salmon served on a bed of sushi rice. Simple, yet eloquent. The thin pieces of salmon were fresh and literally melts in the mouth. Dipped in light soy sauce, it went really well with the fragrant sushi rice. For those who like extra heat, the dish is served with a dollop of wasabi as well.

The only gripe I had was the very thin bed of rice

My chopstick barely went through an inch of rice before it struck the bottom of the bowl. At $14.50, it really irks me that barely 3 hours after the Don, I was already hunting around for a more substantial meal. So big eaters beware. It might take a toll on your wallet to get full here!

    We were really surprised by the quality and standard of the food. It's as if it was cooked very carefully and with attention to detail. The rice was cooked just right and not hard or soggy - perfect! The chawanmushi was really good too - very smooth and lots of surprises in it! We were very surprised with the staff friendliness and they even offered to top-up our green-tea even thou we did not ask for it. Environment is very cosy and comfortable, would be a good place for small group of friends

    Restaurant Hoshigaoka

    First visit to Restaurant Hoshigaoka, recommended by a friend. We order one main set and dessert each. The Ten Don was delicious, with the rice just cooked (not too hard / soggy) and ebi was really really fresh. 5 stars for their desserts, priced only at $6.50 you will be able to get an apple pie + green tea ice-cream + red bean set. Thumbs up for their green tea ice-cream, it's really good with very strong taste. Not forgetting their apple pie, you can simply taste the huge piece of sliced app

    First visit to Restaurant Hoshigaoka, recommended by a friend.
    We order one main set and dessert each. The Ten Don was delicious, with the rice just cooked (not too hard / soggy) and ebi was really really fresh.

    5 stars for their desserts, priced only at $6.50 you will be able to get an apple pie + green tea ice-cream + red bean set. Thumbs up for their green tea ice-cream, it's really good with very strong taste. Not forgetting their apple pie, you can simply taste the huge piece of sliced apply in it.

    We were very surprised with the staff friendliness and they even offered to top-up our green-tea even thou we did not ask for it. Environment is very cosy and comfortable, would be a good place for small group of friends gathering as well.

    Location wise is very accessible, just drop at Orchard MRT and walk all the way underpass to reach SHAW Towers. It's sheltered all the way! No worries for rain or sun


    Price wise is average for Japanese Restaurant - average spending for a meal of 2 (with desserts) was $26.00.

    Will sure to visit again!

    Food -
    We had some ala carte sets which vaires but all consisted of rice (not sure if it's Japanese rice?), miso soup, chawanmushi, fruit and salmon sashimi. The sets were really good value and tasted great!

    We loved the salmon sashimi which was really fresh with a clean taste.

    The fruit was sweet and simple. The miso soup was very traditional and not salty - just right!

    The rice was cooked just right and not hard or soggy - perfect! The chawanmushi was really good too - very smooth and lots of surprises in it!

    We were really surprised by the quality and standard of the food. It's as if it was cooked very carefully and with attention to detail.

    The Tonkatsu Ramen was alright but not great. The noodles were springy but a bit clumpy. Shin-Sappporo still has the best noodles! The pork slices here were very generous and thick - very fatty and very sickening actually. By the 2nd peice we were feeling sick as it was too rich. The soup base was addictive and creamy. But after drinking all of it we felt very sick because it was super rich and oily. We think it has not been boiled long enough to break down the fats!

    The deep fried soft-shell crab was super yum - as is all deep fried stuff. We LOVE the deep fried soft-shell crab!

    The location is easy to find at Orchard MRT.

    Recommended for the food - it is very very good. Especially if there is a discount or promotion. Otherwise it can get quite expensive!
    The service is polite and alright. Water gets filled without asking. it's a neat and tidy, clean place. Very minimalist. Enough space to walk around and paper towels are provided with disposable wooden chopsticks.
