Chiso Zanmai opened it's doors to business on 23 February 2012 replacing the defunct Fishermans Market which ended operation on 13 February 2012. Not to worry, this 200 seater restaurant is still run by the same management team and best of all, the restaurant manager is still Mr Uyama. The Japanese cuisine in Chiso Zanmai is very authentic thanks to the hands of their their Japanese Executive Chef, Tatsuya Tamura.I personally don't find their salmon sashimi very fresh. It feels a little soggy
I personally don't find their salmon sashimi very fresh. It feels a little soggy. There wasn't much choices, only 3 types of sashimi.
The mini steamboat pot is what I like best. The soup is tasty and flavored. I ordered the vegetable one. Normal vegetable soup is usually blend but for this one, you could actually taste the sweetness of the soup.
I walked pass the cold soba a couple of times and decided to try it out. Didn't look fantastic and sure enough, it didn't taste fantastic either. Wasn't alot of choices for sushi so I only manage to grab a few pieces.
I had always love salmon skin so I was quite thrilled when I saw that they had it. Had to wait sometime though because their speed of topping up food is amazingly slow. The gyoza wasn't too fantastic either. The tepanyaki squid was a twist for the night. It didn't look too appealing soaking in the gravy but tasted really nice. Best of all the squid was fresh so you get the springy feeling when you take the first bite. The pizza, well...not a big fan to begin with.
They ran out of miso soup bowls and after walking around a couple of times and coming back to the same spot without finding any miso soup bowl, I decided to get creative...I took the sauce bowl to contain miso soup. Would be good if they can top up utensils fast.
Chawanmushi was a little disappointing. I always thought that Japanese have high standards for taste and presentation when preparing their food. I like the taste and the smoothness but the presentation gave them some negative points. The egg is not suppose to sink in!
Ended the dinner with a little bit of their desserts. The green tea brulee tasted awesome. I was standing there watching the chef (probably their dessert chef) burn the sugary top with her torch. After burning, she set the brulee aside and kept on chatting with her colleague. After going back to the station the third time, I was able to get hold of one. I can't say it's worth the wait. But I certainly don't like the feeling of standing there waiting while the chef was busy chatting with her colleague. She could, however, turn around and tell me that it won't be ready this soon. Maybe advice me when I can come back....something like that.On the whole, it wasn't a perfect experience. Would be good if they clear the tables faster and top up the utensils and food faster as well.
We paid $24.90++ (dinner proper) plus $1.90++ (free flow of drinks) for the entire dinner. Would go back again if they can bring back the Fishermans Market's food and service standard.
