Initially, we would like to go back to En (Russel Street, CWB) for the all-u-can-eat Crab shabu shabu...then we found that En closed down sometime ago Therefore, we decided to try Chura as it belongs to the same group.I have read some of the reviews and pretty agreed with them...we found that the food here are over-priced...the quality of the food is okay but not impressed...we believe we can have tons of other choices given the prices they charged. Anyhow, let me share with you my comments a
I have read some of the reviews and pretty agreed with them...we found that the food here are over-priced...the quality of the food is okay but not impressed...we believe we can have tons of other choices given the prices they charged. Anyhow, let me share with you my comments as follows:
1) Starter - meatballs...the taste is fine but too pricey...$30 each
2) Peanut tofu ($45) - I guess everyone loves this tofu cos it has a very interesting texture...I don't know how they made it to give it a perfect dome shape and it has a touch of peanut taste, not too strong and the whole tofu is so smooth. AWESOME!
3) Sea grapes - tiny little portion and they charged you $57...much more expensive than all other Jap restaurants in CWB
4) Sashimi combo - we were stunned by the price charged on this sashimi combo, only $288 and you can have a variety of different lovely fish??? Unbelievable, huh? Then, we reckoned that the cut of the fish is only half of the size of a regular sashimi platter! The taste of the sashimi is so-so, not impressed and not enough to share
5) Fried fish cake - overall it's fine but I don't know why, I didn't really taste the fish???
Once again, the portion is verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry small...tiny 2 little pieces
6) Pan fried bitter melon with pork - finally, the "biggest" portion of the evening...
we love the bitter melon but the pork is tasteless...oh well
7) Fried squid ink noodle ($70) - small portion as usual...the taste is fine but a bit too greasy...we looked through the menu to find something more filling and there we go, a noodle plate. If you are a squid ink noodle fan, I suggest you to try it at 東寶at North Point Market...really yummy there
8) A bottle of 360ml cold sake - $320
I believe this would be my only visit to Chura cos I am certain that I can always locate another Japanese restaurant(s) which can satisfy me in both qualitative and quantitative sense
