It's Friday which is Japanese dinner day.
There seem to be a new movement of Chefs who are hell bent in changing tried and tested recipes of any cuisine in the world.
We stumbled on one of those Japanese Chefs and the results were dire.
- Starters
1- Edamame grilled with Sea salt/ Kimchi (Don't comment about the Kimchi)
2- Cucumber +Chilli home made pickles
3- Melon and Kimchi pickles (don't ask)
4- Daikon and yuzu pickles
- Mains
5- Angus Beef Black Pepper Teriaki
6- Chicken Thigh Teriyaki
7- Chicken Rice ( I know, I know it is a Malaysian dish)
8- Angus Beef Claypot Rice (the rice was left as the beef was gobbled)
9- Mushrooms Claypot Rice
- Dessert
10- Molten Cake Peanut butter praline + salted cashew
11- Taiyaki with Soft served ice cream (complete rubbish)
12- Creme Castella Pudding with Matcha soft served ice cream
Japanese food, it was not, but more of whatever they call Fusion food an it costed an arm and a leg.
I enjoyed the Chicken Rice which is one of my preferred Malay/Singapore dishes and has nothing to do with Japan.
The dessert simply show that Japan has still a long way to go and should stick to Ramen Sushi and red bean thingies.
Next stop is a restaurant serving Kobe beef with the owner devoid of any cooking knowledge but is the wife of the main Kobe Beef importer, So I guess this qualifies her to start a Kobe Beef restaurant. Good thing I received my renewed Platinum Credit Card last week.
