A “restaurant-in-restaurant” idea; part of Maison Meiji, a Western-Japanese dining concept inspired by the Japanese Meiji era; on the 1st floor of the revitalised Grade II heritage Green Building.
Indeed, loved the time-travelling retro deco and ambience.
Counter seating approx 10.
Some chef specials to choose from, items from the main menu also available.
Server explained that popular items included the rice wrapped in egg; also interested in some pasta dishes.
P spotted the fish hanging in the fridge; chef explained that that particular one was not sufficiently aged yet; but we could have the threadfin, which was ready. Yes please! Grilled and served with a tangy plum sauce.
Here’s what we also had.
Deep Fried Octopus- interesting; flesh was surprisingly tender.
Seared Flounder Muscle. Loved it. Crispy with loads of texture.
Chicken Wing
Chicken Neck
Pork belly
Minced Chicken Skewer
Grilled Oyster
Japanese Yam
Pork Rice Roll- too much rice for me.
Picked cucumber as palette cleanser
Grilled Surf Clam
Fried Egg topped with white bait.
Dessert:
Espresso Orange Martini
Matcha Parfait (too much cream)
In summary: quality ingredients with excellent service. Loved the ambience. Interested to return for lunch to try the pasta and coffee.
