Haven't been here for a long while and one thing for sure is that they have taken their presentation up a notch. The Bara Chirashi Don was served in a ceramic white soup plate instead of a bowl. It was gorgeous to behold as it's plated beautifully and vibrantly coloured from the assortment of diced sashimi and topped with ikura and edible flowers. Interestingly it had blocks of steamed egg instead of tamago.
Looking for a fusion take on the traditional Japanese Izakaya? IPPAI should be your next go-to joint! Their menu features a wide variety of dishes ranging from dons and sashimi, to grilled meats and seafood. If you’re on a lunch break, you should most definitely opt for their Chirashi Don.
The lunch set comes with an appetizer, salad and miso soup. The bara chirashi don was generously filled with assorted sashimi that were diced and marinated. Few differences from the usual, it had jellyfish and chunks of avocado; and topped with radish puree (which was gooey). And for a delightful end to our meal, we were served a complimentary mango mochi ice cream that was refined yet indulgent.
We had been treated to a exquisite experience at this new Japanese restaurant located at Dorsett Residences. IPPAI's menu is full of surprises. Our taste buds were awaken by the start of the Century Egg Tofu appetizer ($5). The blended century egg complements astonishingly well with the tofu. Next must try is the umami Truffle Somen ($26) and Fugu Mirin $13, which I must say was an unexpected pleasant explosion of aromatic flavours. Other dishes that went well were the Foie Gras Wagyu Maki ($32), Unagi Don ($25) and Chirashi Don ($23) with generous portion of sashimi. The Momo Taro which is a Tomato dish turns out to be very refreshing with a tinge of vinegar. Even the dessert Sea Salt Ice-Cream taste extraordinary with a blend of vanilla. Nice ambience and pleasant food presentation too.
Overall we find this new place a must try for Japanese food lovers. Service is also very good, fast and hospitable.
