October is a month of birthday celebrations for the loved ones and we headed to Mikuni for their Robatayaki dinner sets. Priced at $158 each, the menu looked a lot lesser than what arrived so you can imagine how much food there was.
No wet napkins this time round, a service lapse?
At the robatayaki counter.
Having the season's best produce right in front of me was quite an experience.
Various types of salts.
Spot the expensive.
If I could just steal another of these skewers - heaven on earth.
Crispy Ebi Cracker
These are usually provided on the house but included as part of the set menu. They should sell these in jars, a sure hit.
Egg Custard with Sukiyaki Foam
Top marks for presentation - paper nest with the egg custard in an egg shell topped with a delicious foam. Mushrooms and egg, the best combination ever.
Ooiishii repeated tens of times over.
Kampachi with Black Truffle Sauce
I missed this beautifully executed dish too much. The last attempt at Savour 2013 left me reeling with delihgt.
Soba
Odori Prawn Shioyaki
All in one shell - I mistook this for two portions of prawn.Wonderfully grilled prawn!
To my disappointment and amusement - the flesh was cleverly extracted.
Oyster, Hokkaido Sweet Corn, Asparagus
The trio of ingredients were hardly considered the same category but oyster in miso butter was all of memorable, sweet corn certainly earned its name for its natural sweetness and lastly asparagus, the kind of consistency I expected of white asparagus.
Kagoshima Wagyu
The marbling was enough to get me all sold and I had to polish my wagyu first in the face of kurobuta. If meat could melt away the way musk melon did, it had to be wagyu.
Kurobuta Pork Belly
Cooked 36 hours with the chef proudly declaring its premium quality, I thought this was too salty for a start.
Yaki Onigiri
A humble rice ball awaits.
Stuffed with grilled sesame seeds and what seems to be seaweed, the charred edges made this a lovely treat!
Miso Soup
Seafood could have done more justice for it.
Kyushu Musk Melon
I've never quite had a fruit melting in my mouth the way mush melon does. Every bite drew enough juice to bring heaven to earth - 300 buckeroos anyone for this summer thirst quencher! I wish I had enough guts to buy a hundred dollar fruit in Japan so then, one less item to do with this musk melon!
Pumpkin
Velvety smooth pumpkin with an incredible smokey fragrance - totally sold on this, alas it comes at a lovely price tag of $60 each.
Japanese bak kwa
The smiley chef nudged us to try this "Japanese Bak Kwa", which I remember attempting in Seoul before. A kind of dried fish barbequed to such crispness - Pringles has a new rival and I only wish they had these sold in supermarts.
This basically summed up our experience the entire night - having the affable chef reach out with a pizza board equivalent with our courses served on the spade.
A beautiful experience to behold with quality food to match. I can only say, I wish we did not over order - scroll below for the other stomach stuffing dishes.
Ginger Snap ($20)
Made from freshly grated ginger, this is ginger ale with an alcoholic punch.
Mount Fuji ($20)
With such a tall name and high expectations to meet up to - it's akin to naming a cocktail after Merlion and falling short. Nonetheless, this apple based cocktail was a concoction of spirits and not quite the ladies drink to attempt.
Mikuni Maki ($25)
Sold on their signature - eel and cheese could be such a good match.
King Crab Fried Rice ($18)
I can never get enough of their teppanyaki fried rice - it could and will put most of the cantonese fried rice dishes to shame, acing both flavour and taste.
Mouthfuls of heaven with enough crabmeat to make this pricey bowl really worth it.
I could have shamed the birthday companion by releasing this picture, a thoughtful gesture for FAR card members. Happy birthday my dear - only uni-lobster pasta-chocolate cake happiness from now on!
Chocolate truffle cake with a lovely praline base.
The all too familiar Mikuni finish, until the next visit!
Trust Mikuni to wow again, robatayaki attempted...teppanyaki counter next!
