Japanese food @ The Central

For those who are nihon-craze and nihon gourmet fans, definately The Central @ Clarke Quay will be your favorite choice. Plenty of japanese restaurants are available and ready to serve your taste bud.

Ever watched the Japanese series 蒋太的寿司 and really impressed by the high quality and authentically attitudes on their gourmet. They served the food with the freshiest, marinated with the finest and decorated with elegance. Never fail to stimulate your taste bud once the plates were served right in front of you.

There are a lot of jpn restaurant at level 2 & 3, and there are all being long-queued, the waiting time is at least 45 mins before you can secure a seat. Don’t wish to waste the time on Q-ing, we decided to have the dinner at the Hokkaido Gourmet Experience at ground floor purely becos there’s no Q. Surprisingly, though no Q, it’s full house with lots of reservation tables. We were lead to an empty table but the lady informed us that we only have 1 hr 15mins meal time before the person who reserved the table come. Erb… first time being clocked-the-time during dinner loh.

I was flipping through the menu for more than 10mins as I can’t decide wat to eat. The food was so pricey!! Oh man.. left ard 1hr.. so gan jiong……. Not that too bad, they served the food within 10mins, maybe they have a spacious kitchen with a dozen of chefs?

We had the tempura soba (cold), unagi don and california sushi roll. Above are normal jpn food with small portion yet the price is comparably high and made me hesitated to further order the sashimi. At first I was considering to get this soya & cheese cake that will be served in a bird-cage (looks like in the photo lei), very unique rite? But I drop the idea cos I’m getting another dessert later somewhere else. Next time I would rather Q longer time for other jpn restaurant.. like Ma Maison (another one at Bugis) or Curry Don.

Hoohoo.. see the long Q at Azabu Sabo (麻布茶房）Hokkaido Ice-cream !!! don’t worry, this Q won’t used up 45 mins.. kekee.. double scope with cone at $5.80, got my flavour of Greentea & Tiramisu. It taste like Gelato, rich milky and strong flavour, smooth but less dense as gelato, feel more like ice-cream paste (糊) and melts fast, that’s the reason to explain why the ice cream can be shape easily like up-side-down cone.

I found that Azabu Sabo (麻布茶房) had opened their outlet in Marina Square last year but didn’t got a chance to try out yet!! Anyone interested? Ikimashio ne ~~~
