One of its oultets in Singapore is the one at the fifth floor of Causeway Point Shopping Centre. Located at one end of the floor, it catches one's attention with its red and brightly lighted entrance. In the restaurant, it is quite big with the place decorated in stylish black colour.Currently there is a promotion for its new 2-4pax set meals with prices from $49++ onwards. Having the $59++ 2pax special set, which include the following :
2 drinks which we selected Hot Yuzu Tea and Yuzu Soda. Both tastes quite refreshing.
Sashimi Moriawase (3 types) where the sashimi is beautifully presented and tastes fresh.
Watami Salad (half serving)The chicken with dressing adds texture and taste to the simple salad. Quite an amount, even for a half serving.
Tempura MoriawaseThe variety is wide with the usual prawns, eggplant, red pepper, green pepper, mushroom and sweet potato. The only letdown the batter coating which is a bit too dark in colour and oily.
Ishiyaki Stamina DonFrom the list of 8 main course choices, we have selected this as we prefer a rice dish and good for sharing. It is actually pork rice with egg yolk in a stone pot. Remember to mix it as soon as possible. Else like us having char burnt base as we are busy taking picture of the food. It still tastes quite soft and flavourful. The hot stone pot is placed in wooden box for easy handling.
Udon is served hot with the hotpot. The texture is quite QQ.
From the choice of 3 hotpots, we selected Zeppin Soup Konbu Dashi Chanko Nabe as it is the only one that is non-beef and non-spicy. Inside there is pork, chicken and seafood. It is served over a hot stove. Soup is refillable. Although the pot holding the items looks quite shallow, but it is filled with quite an amount.
As for the side dish from a list of 6, we selected Chicken Katsu Tamago Toji. It too is served over a hot stove. Remember not to cook it for too long, else the egg may be overcooked. The chicken cultet is quite juicy and chunky.Overall I feel it is more than enough for 2 persons, more like for a 3 persons meal.
If one is still not full, you can still order 2 selected desserts at half the usual prices.
Maccha Parfait ($3.40 after discount)It is actually Matcha ice-cream, whipped cream, mochi balls, sweet red beans with corn flakes below and topped with waffle roll. It is a crunchy and sweet dessert.
Chocolate Parfait ($3.40 after discount)It is actually chocolate ice-cream, whipped cream, cream puff with corn flakes below and topped with waffle rolls. It is a crunchy and sweet dessert. It is listed that there is whisky added on the menu, but one cannot taste any of it.
Overall it is a very filling meal. The restaurant is quite crowded even for a weekday night. Request for plain water many times, only finally come when we are having the desserts. Overall still quite a nice place to dine in.
