Super value for money! 🐮🐷 Generous amount of meat & vegetables. Good for sharing. Tip: Ask their server for chili flakes to add a hint of heat to this savory, hearty meal. ❤️

It's a pretty delicious dish as a whole but for its price, quite underwhelming. The way this dish was prepared meant the beef chunks were seared right at the beginning & left aside while the other ingredients were being cooked. That meant that while it took 10mins for the veggies, tofu & bean curd skin to be cooked, the poor chunks of precious seared Wagyu are left to go cold. They were only added back in w the group at the end, right before serving. I'm not a fan of cold beef & I felt that it did a disservice to the taste of the meat. Will definitely come back here for the Mt Fuji Nabe & the beef sushi/sashimi but I'll give this dish a skip. ☹️

If I had to choose a way to describe this dish, it would be an exact representation of the components in a flavor. First, the popping caviar that gives a slight salty fishy taste as the top note. The heap of fresh crabmeat that acts as the middle note, releasing its juicy sweetness. And finally the heavy bottom note; al-dente angel hair pasta drenched with thick, creamy crab bisque. Being able to pick up rich flavors from the extraction of crustacean flavors is the reason why I enjoy bisques in general so much. Nope, not a single drop of crab bisque was left on the plate.

My first thought on seeing this starter on the menu was how unique could this chawanmushi-like dish be. But have you seen potato chips on steamed egg before? No I haven't and I am impressed. Scoop a little of each ingredient and have them at a go to discover what a medley of flavors is really like. The Ikura and Tobiko gave a popping sensation with umami taste, in addition to the crispness of the potato chips and sweet savoriness of the silky steamed egg. Just that the combination of both ikura and tobiko could get a lil salty. A slight nutty taste from Buerre Noisette could also be picked up. Most unique steamed egg I have ever eaten!
