A Yummilicious, HeartBreaking $85 Dinner
It's been a while since i've blogged...
guess partly i've been lazy and partly i've been bumming at home...
so nothing has really been happening...
met up w rachel for dinner today...
she wanted to try this yakitori place at cuppage plaza
coz she read abt it from some foodie's blog.
so off we went to try the food at the place.
the place is called Kazu. it's on the 4th floor. #04-05, cuppage plaza.
and the food was FANTASTIC !!
we felt kinda adventurous and tried some of the foods dat
i'll prob not order on an ordinary day...
besides the ordinary yakitori foods like chicken meatball, mini hamburger, chicken skin, gizzard, liver, etc,
we had some rather rarely eaten dishes.
we had this dish called 'baby eel ponzu'
it's basically baby eel in a ponzu sauce... it's quite nice... tho a little saltish.
check out the little black eye on the fairly translucent body of the baby eel...
so cool... heh heh...
check out the little beady eye on the top.
after which our order of the chef's appetizer of the day is served.
on the left is some eel thingy.. cant remember exactly wat it's called.
in the middle is potato w salmon roe... yummy big beady ones.
and on the right is some mountain vegetable... which wasn't too bad.
we also ordered the foie gras and salmon belly... both of which were heavenly...
foie gras on the left, salmon belly on the right.
esp the foie gras. the moment it went into my mouth, i could feel it melt away...
the salmon belly was the same also... the outside was nice and cooked...
and the inside was simply melting away when i bit into it.
up next, was this...
go on... make a guess wat this is...
it's
.

.
.
horse sashimi !
who would have tot dat one could have horse sashimi...
and it tasted fabulous w the garlic and chives dip.
and it's quite tasteless on it's own...
no funny horsey taste or anything of dat sort...
up next was the homemade tofu...
we were expecting some tofu thingy... but it turned out to be...
tofu made from salmon !
and on top of it is a cauliflower sauce which was quite good, along w a sesame and a vegetable paste.
sesame paste in the middle, veg paste on the right.
not to forget the grated carrot on the left.
we also had other yummy stuff like quail's egg wrapped in pork belly or wat i thikn is bacon... haha...
golden mushrooms wrapped in unagi.
not to mention sea urchin sushi as well...
last but defintely not least... we had the cheese prawn...
it's basically prawn dat's been grilled and covered w a layer of cheese.
quite v yummy i must say... was quite surprised dat the medium sized prawn we got was quite large...
and it came towards the end when we both were quite rather full...
sorry this one looks rather mutilated coz this was after i had shelled it...
with the cheese everywhere on the plate and the prawn...
and to top things off... dinner was accompanied by a flask of warm sake.
but of coz when the bill came... it was heart pain...
coz the total bill for 2 greedy people came up to $170... haha...
but i must say it was money well spent...
coz not only was the food great, the service was good as well...
friendly staff who more or less know wat they're serving and if they don't, they'll find out for you.
a truly fantastic experience... i wun hesitate to go there again if i have the funds to do so...
so everyone give the place a try... remember...
it's called kazu, at cuppage plaza, #04-05.
and pls make a reservation b4 going down coz it can get crowded.
when we left, there were like 2 groups of ppl waiting for their table...
and it's one of those places u can sit there, talk and eat the time away...
