We ordered
1) chicken mushroom hotplate set meal thingy-came with soft shell crab tempura, chawanmushi, rice and the soup
2) unagi with scrambled egg
3) salmon sashimi
4) swordfish sashimi
6) salad duh
i think it was less than 5 mins and my salad came.now that was the fastest. evne at buffet my salad took like forever. this was faster than a bullet in slow motion...but still fast.
then came the sashimi. arnd 8 pieces which were reasonably thick. like maybe 1cm thick. think it was worth it. bf loved swordfish so nxt time juz get that.
i liked the bfs meal. prob cos i stole hhis soft shell crab and chawanmushi. the chicken was ok..liked the sauce though. soft shell crab was light and even though it was tempura aka deep fried aka supposed to be oily. i didnt get sick to my stomach soon after that.
my unagi was nice. it was my first time tryn sumthn like this so it was new for me. but i liked it.
i still think my meal at nara was still my best jap experience so far. but i am sure there are better places also. i dont think im qualified to decide which plae has the best jap. this was oook. i mean for the prices i paid it was passable. im not gonna rave and say oh its the best jap ever cos if i did. slap me ok.

Plus. they have veal sausage here!!since trying the veal sausage at the food fair @ takashimaya iv been wanting to eat veal sausage but its so hard to find. So for just 3.90, to get a veal sausage, hot side and salad is quite worth it. at least to me. the sausage has just a nice amnt of bite and though its not as good as the german one its still juicy and yummy enuf for me.
Iv also tried their beer battered fish and chips before. honestly i find it a bit too oily and got quite sick of eatin the oil laden fish after a while. prefer the grilled one. as for the chips. while they are nice and light but crispy, theyre quite stingy on the fries. I could count how many fries were given to me when i ordered the fish and chips. arnd 10-15 i tink. its better to get the fries ala carte. 1.90 and u get a reasonable amt maybe more than waht u pay more for at kfc or macs.
I usually return just for the veal sausage only. fish n chips i get from the nearby yella fellas

both me n my fren ordered the half n half pasta n gratin set.
comes with salad, soup, pasta and a gratin-standard prawn gratin
bf got the pizza-corned beef
I got the chicken and cream pasta i think. the salad was ok. basic greens with the wasabi like dressing. Soup-didnt try.bf ate it.
my pasta was ok..plenty of chicken but they could have used more cream sauce. and as for the gratin.
it was nice..i liked that it had just the right amnt of cram and and pasta..something new and different.but the prawns could be fresher.
bfs pizza was nice. well just the thin crust part. liked that but the corned beef tasted off...dont really know how to describe it but i felt the pizza could have tasted more distinct. guess corned beef was a boring choice. staff was helpful and attentive even though it was full house. and well no difficulties with the service.

Was a bit disapointed that the sashimi was limited to the maguro(tuna) salmon n tai(seabream i tink). only tried the salmon n tai. both were actually quite ok. iv honestly had worse at an alacarte buffet joint and well another place where i will not name.
The teppanyaki items were actually good. i enjoyed the salmon, beef and chicken. white fish was nothing to shout about but the other 3 especially salmon was quite ok.
HAving tried tempura during dinner at nara the nite b4 i surprisingly found the tempura here better. it was not soggy, still crunchy and hot and not totally drenched in oil. i liked the prawn, soft shell crab. oh and tried the flower crab. quite good. there was meat in it and not juzt the shell with little meat. i ate one only as i couldnt be bothered to dirty my fingers.
The sushi was limited to nigiri- salmon, unagi, tamago, and some others. maki was quite intresting, had mango and apple maki items, but i enjoyed the soft shell crab.
The cawanmushi was good.piping hot and silky and good.pidan tofu tasted like plain tofu to me. sharksfin soup too. not that fantastic..tried the seafood fried rice and the curry..okla..ntn to shout abt.
desserts wise.i enjoyed the tart and the cream puff. the mochi too. mini donuts remind me of those frm marcial kobe.
overall.spread was kinda limited but ok i guess. quality was average. probably wnt return though.

after enquiries on wether the ham in the pizza could be changed to sumthing else we ordered these items
Flamkuche pizza=creme fraiche, mozarella, onion, mushroom and beef frankfruter(used to be italian ham)
Milanese veal cutlet
and a
Tiramisu
i was very pleased with the attentiveness and helpfulness of our hostness and was quite famished and looking forward to the meal.
we ordered at 1055 and waited for the food to come.now at 1115 only the our complimentary cheese puff come to our table. it looked like a mini epok2(curry puff) and tasted nothing like cheese. but it did line my stomach(repeat i was super hungry).at 1120 the waiter came to inform us our food would come in 2 minutes(ok can wait) but then another 2 diners came in and he took like 5 mins to attend to em..nvm..still can wait...we only got our food at 1130..and i was still ok..untill 5mins later i saw the couple that walked in at 1120 getting their pizza..i mean..wahlau..how come our pizza took almost half an hour n theirs took a total of what 10-15 mins??heck..i was hungry so i didnt bother and concentrated on my food.
veal cutlet was good. done up medium rare and it was nice, slightly chewy and succulent. i liked the sauce that was sweet and slightly sour but not the typical sweet/sour sauce. it was breaded and the breading was not too thick, crisp and light. the mash that came on its side tasted good at first but left a weird lingering aftertaste. like they added msg or sumthing. i enjoyed the dish and was feeling a bit full.
the pizza at first i found it quite salty/tasteless. it was an overall slightly salty but the cream was a tad tasteless. the mushroom didnt really do much for the dish but the beef frankfrutter was good. prob what made it have that hint of saltiness. i added the oil they provided when i ate my 2nd slice and i think that there was chilli in that oil. the oil made the pizza spicier and i enjoyed it more. but i was hoping that i could have enjoyed the pizza minus other outside forces. found the crust crisp and chewy although at the end of the meal the pizza crust was bordering on chewy and hard.
and finally our tiramisu. i actually liked it. there was an balance of the cheese and the liquor but i found that there was quite a bit of liquor. a bit too much on top. but i did enjoy it.
aside from being put off by our loooong wait i did enjoy the meal. service was good without being too intrusive. the ambience was there although maybe the sound level of the music could be a wee bit lower. and the food was enjoyable. i doubt ill be back anytime soon as the menu isnt really extensive and well id like to explore my pizza options.
but i shall return mayb one day. bf wanted to get a nutella pizza to go which earned a "WHAT??" facial expression from me. of course we didnt get it.
oh and UOB cardmembers get a 15% discount.
