Went there to celebrate a friend’s birthday. I found the menu slightly different from the other mid-price ranged Japanese restaurants in Singapore. For one, I got to try this miso marinated fish which was being grilled on a special leaf…it was FANTASTIC! The taste was so unami and the flavour of the miso was strong. The udon portions are big and truly hit the spot especially if you’re hungry! Their dry cold soba was a hit with the group too!

Brought my parents there over the weekend, my father is fan of Roast Pork Belly and he enjoyed the dish there tremendously. Pity that it was rather pricey for the portion…there couldn’t have been more than 9 or 10 small cubes of roast pork on the plate, and it cost $12.80. The other dim sum was good, I enjoyed the hao kao and siew mai. The century egg congee was very light and tasty.

My favourite Thai dish has to be Tom Yam seafood noodle soup and over here, you get to choose between the cloudy and clear soup versions! I've been here previously before and learnt that they don't make it the usual spicy-ness if you don't request for it, in fear that you might find it too hot, so I was fairly disappointed the first time. However, lesson learnt and I made sure I asked for spicy this time around. And it was good.

If you're looking to have a good rest from all the shopping in Orchard Road, I would suggest you dine here. Tucked away on the 4th floor of Takashimaya shopping centre is a seemingly incongruous restaurant with a plain white exterior. The interior is fairly sparse as well but do try the steak! I had the Sirlion steak which comes with soup, bread roll, salad and dessert. I love the steak here because they always do it well and to the degree of done-ness that you want. But the other thing that gets me raving is their bread roll. It's just FANTASTIC! Toasty on the outside, with the soft, slightly chewy white on the inside, I always wish I could have more! (That said, I've never tried asking, maybe next time). It's baked fresh daily so you know you're never having stale store bought stuff. One small complaint is that I feel the salad could have a bit more variety of vegetables; it consisted mainly of corn, lettuce and shreds of carrot. Some onions, rocket leaves, spinach leaves or even beetroot would jazz the salad up!

Mmmmm...their traditional fish and chips is what I enjoy the most! The batter is crisp and light, not too thick so it doesn't overwhelm the fish inside and you can taste the fish well. Plus I just love the lemon butter sauce that comes with it! I usually ask for an extra small bowl of the sauce because it's never enough! If you're looking for a refreshing sweet drink, try the lychee ice-blended slushy drink!
