As it was Mr Teddy's birthday, we had something better last Saturday. Wanted to had Teppei at Orchid Hotel. However, it was fully book till September! Must try out Teppei soon!
We had Hakumai instead. Hakumai is situated at International Plaza, #01-50A.
Hakumai is definitely one of the better Japanese restaurant we had tried till date. And in term of pricing, it is manageable. The set menu range from $26 - $40. It is very reasonable given the quality of the food.
Our total damage was $210 for 2 pax. And half the damage was due to the 720ml of Sake that we ordered. Otherwise, our spending would have been $100+ for 2 set of bento, 1 yellow tail sushi and 1 sweet prawn sashimi. The sashimi was awesome. it is so sweet and fresh. Mr Teddy love it to the max.
I ordered a Sukiyaki Gozen. It consist of a Sukiyaki soup with vegetable, raw beef (cooked it in the sukiyaki soup when it boils), truffle sauce chawanmishi, salmon sashimi, rice and fruit. The sukiyaki gozen is marvelous.
Firstly, the salmon sashimi was awesome. It was thick and sweet. A lot of Japanese restaurant bento set will have the salmon sashimi. But till date, no one can beat this. It was generous and thick.
Second, the truffle sauce chawanmushi is unique. Chawanmushi is a very common dish in Japanese cuisine. However, this is my first time tasting chawanmushi with truffle sauce. The top layer is actually the truffle sauce and the bottom is the chawanmushi. It tasted unique and well-balance.
Lastly, the beef is so tender and sweet. Cook the beef in the sukiyaki soup and deep the beef into the egg before eating. Oh my good, it is heaven. It is sweet and tender. Awesome. A must try dishes.
