Nana's Green Tea is better well known as Japan's answer to Starbucks. Its menu has an extensive list of Japanese beverages such as matcha (green tea), azuki (red bean), hoji (roasted green tea) and coffee, with prices starting from $5 for a cup of Red Bean Soup.The restaurant is decorated quite uniquely with square frames enclosing each table, allowing one to feel private while dining in a rather open area.

At every table, there is this stand, where one can press for service from the staff. Quite useful.
The first item on the menu is Uji Premium Matcha ($7.50++), which is traditional Japanese Matcha green tea served as an espresso. It looks so interesting with the brush in the cup. But we so disappointed when it is served. The serving is very small and served without the brush. My friend is so looking forwards to experience the DIY of making the tea, seeing the picture on the menu. It tastes quite bitter and strong. If you are not used to strong tea, I suggest you add sugar to your tea which will make it more drinkable.
Thin Matcha Green Tea ($6.50++) is the equivalent of the local 'The-O Kosong', which is green tea served without sugar and milk. It tastes like a watered down version of Uji Premium Matcha, which tastes quite smooth without sugar.
Mushi-Dori Goma Udon ($13.80++) is a cold udon dish, topped with shredded steamed chicken, shredded cucumber and Nana's special sesame sauce. It tastes quite light as the sauce is much lighter than expected. The udon has a QQ chewy texture. But the dish tastes a bit jelat after a few mouthful.
The Waka tama udon ($11.80++) is a bowl of hot udon soup and full of seaweed, with a beautiful poached egg in the centre. The soup is very flavourful with the seaweed taste. The egg is the star of this dish, so perfectly soft but cooked, which makes this simple dish tastes great.Overall the food tastes a bit below expectation but still not bad. Food is served quite fast. Although we are the last customers of the day, we do not feel rush to finish our food. Maybe next time I will just come for the desserts which seems to be a better choice.
