Sushi Kikuzawa @ Orchard's International building (: !
We were the first ones to arrive!
So we had the chef to ourself for the first 10 mins or so before another group of 4 came.
Banzai :D!
There're only seats for ard 10 in this cozy Izakaya-looking bar,
and a private room for 6 on tatami mats.
The chef's sushi making skills are decently good,
Bite-size mouthful portions and the rice is firm (:
but he's very very shy.. lol
some sushi were served from kikuzawa-san himself,
but mostly it's this shy chef xD
we were immediately served edamame and hot green tea
Appetizer was tofu with daikon, sea cucumber and chicken bits,
in a light chicken broth which i didnt drink..
1 person per serving of this sashimi plate.
Tuna, whitefish, ika and salmon :3
the tuna wasnt very fresh, it had a metallic aftertaste,
but the rest were sweet
Soshite, sushi-tachi kita! :D
from the left:
Saba (mackerel), ika (squid), unagi (eel) and seared salmon
the menu was decided by the chef,
so we didnt go flipping the menu deciding wad to eat,
but there's an anticipation of wads going to come nxt :D
i waited for all 4 of mine to come..
Darren ate his sushi as soon as they arrive :x
Amaebi (sweet prawn)
the wasabi they use is so strong >.< ..
Kohada (Gizzard Shad), my first time eating this!
Hirame (seared flounder) i can only say....
Anything thats seared taste good!!
Tobiko (s) !
Tastebud shock!!
Nama-hotate (raw scallop) seared slightly totally melts in the mouth!
My eyes went O__O
Aji (horse (?) mackerel) and finely mashed light coloured sardines.
Awabi (raw abalone) , raw taste so much better than cooked!
it has no chewyness but a sweet and powdery softness (Y)
DANGER (｀×´) !!
if i didnt ask what this was i would have put this innocent looking sushi
str8 into my mouth without thinking!
But its FUGU! Puffer fish desu! countless died from eating this ok,
if its nt treated properly its poison is lethal >.<!!
*squirms at the thought of dying while eating sushi*
phew i was alright after 5 mins :D... its nice actually.
no wonder so many risk their lives for this.
Handroll but i forgot wad was inside
(i bet he's trying to make us full) and
maguro with sesame oil and seeds.
Tamago!! Not too sweet not too savoury, nice!
Kajiki (sword fish) , one of my fav sashimi :D
this should be the belly part..
look at those fat distributions... Lol :x!
hotate, ika, salmon (:
Hokigai (Whelk), first time i ate this too.
its red and white with a tinge of yellow o____o
Chewy and sweet!
Chawanmushi. this got to be one of the smoothest i've ate!
And it all sums up with a mango pudding (: !!
Scoreboard:
1 appetizer, 1 sashimi platter, 21 sushi and a pudding!
very satisfying lunch buffet indeed :D
