[CLOSED] Ichida Japanese Dining

Didn't paid attention when the chef was introducing the various fish because I was just too excited. If I remember correctly, it should be scallop and shrimp sushi. The sashimi was outstanding as expected and it would be perfect if the rice was more firm and had a sticky texture.

I was very pleased at the generous serving of foie gras and it was so well done that it can literally be considered meat butter as it was so rich and buttery. The only catch is that it was so overwhelming I could hardly taste the chawanmushi. It would be better if paired with something else.

The beef cubes literally melted in my mouth as it was so soft and chewy that it almost felt like sashimi instead. The beef is slightly charred on the exterior while retaining the tenderness on the inside. When paired with the fried garlic bits, the sauce on the beef was accentuated even further. Definitely the highlight of the omakase.

My favourite dish of the omakase due to the wide variety of fish offered. I liked the blue fin tuna best as it was very succulent and juicy. The seabass really stood out for me as the chef added some salt and seasoning to it that it gave off a sweet and tart taste. That when paired with wasabi was the best combination.

There are 3 different kind of Appetizers: first is a sweet potato with fish roe, the second is a tofu with century egg paste and lastly lobster salad. I thought the lobster salad was rather mediocre as it tasted like any other lobster salad. I would have liked it to be more creamy. The sweet potato really stood out the most for me as it was super soft and the fish roe provided a more edgy taste to it. The century egg paste really gave the plain tofu more flavour to it.

🐟 Don't really recommend getting the #omakase though but I think this place is ok to pop into for some quick #sashimi and #sushi if you work nearby lol. Happy early birthday my dear friend haha thanks for the lovely company #lastnight 🎂🎉 ❤️❤️❤️
