•  The Stiletto, the platter, the girl

  Kenji Modern Japanese

   

  Being a big time slut for all things Japanese, i never say no to a Japanese meal. Or any kind of meal for that matter.hm.

  Been wanting to try this place for ages now since it was self-proclaimed to be a Japanese restaurant with a modern take. I knew i had to give it one shot.

  Im munching on some left-over kimchi from the fridge while i type this very moment and how i wish i was munching on some beautiful Ika instead.....ergh...jap jap jap

  anyways...here goes....

  

  Started with Kenji's mixed platter of appetizer

  the Tuna tartare served with avacado and passionfruit dressing was probably the best of the lot

  YUM!!!!

   

  

  This Hotate was absolutely OMG.....

  Creamy baked half shell scallops with wakame and salmon roe

  this is the absolute cum-face dish

  cos it makes you do so. like really

  

   

  

  Oysters prepared 3 ways: crumbed served with mayo, naturale, and a japanese dressing which i cant recall

  hhhmmm...this one was average-ish...no biggie

   

  

  Wagyu Beef Rump Steak with potato gratin, watercress and horseradish cream

  this one went surpsingly well with the horseradish cream, but the wagyu's texture left much to be desired for.

   

  

  trout i think it was served in some japanese sauce.

  didnt quite like this

  thought the sauce didnt quite go well with the fish

   

  

  Dessert were up next

  Matcha ice cream with almond fillo, poached persimmon and red bean paste

  i liked how this was rather French influenced but yet still very Japanese.

  and the red dates poached with the persimmon was rather WOW..

   

  

  Yuzu and Ginger Brulee with Rhubard Sorbet

  hhmm..almost seemed like a Japanese Brulee....hhhmm...

  duno if i quite liked this one....

   

  

  I am
