A recollection on one of the iron chef restaurants that I’ve been to (twice). Seriously I’ve tried out their whole dinner entree menu and their whole desert menu (except for the very expensive omakase menus which they might give out special treats.)   The restaurant is a fusion restaurant (Sometimes fusion food ends up pretty confusing) and I think they serve Pan asian food.

Decor has its own hype.  The restaurant is decorated with LED lights that changes its colour once in a while.   Wonderful interior design it is.

Entree is satifying and is acceptable at the price.  I was not too inspired or surprised at their menu though.  I was a little bit disappointed about their sushi quality and I guess it’s not a place for sushi afterall.  Some of the entrees that I do still remember – ANGRY chicken, Kobe Beef Bim bim bop, halibut, some sushi platter,sea bass, steak, surf and turf.

Dessert – it’s very disappointing.  I just don’t get the (con)fusion of their desserts,  I remembered their coffee jelly with coconut milk tastes really bad, same goes for the flourless chocolate cake.  I wonder if that’s why they don’t put their dessert menu on the website.

I guess that’s because chef Morimoto is not the chef in house.  Too bad, but it managed to get me visiting twice, all with a big group of people.

Photos below – taken a  hurry.
