There's a few new shops I wanted to try at APM, and this 蒸籠料理 (せいろ料理) shop is one of them. Opened by the same group which operates 稲庭饂飩 & 魚一丁 in HK, I already had in my mind an expectation of the food quality. Unfortunately, it did not transcend it in anyway. Sigh.... ***************************咖哩牛肉扁烏冬 (カレースープベース, 牛肉のきしめん: 前菜、 おにぎり付き):Kishimen is a delicious flattened udon originating in Aichi Prefecture and Nagoya city.

咖哩牛肉扁烏冬 (カレースープベース, 牛肉のきしめん: 前菜、 おにぎり付き):
Kishimen is a delicious flattened udon originating in Aichi Prefecture and Nagoya city. The version served in this shop is a little bit too thin however, making it more like Hor Fun. They were also overcooked and too soft. The curry soup base (also available in Noren) is way off the mark as well, its not even thick nor does it carry much curry spices in aroma and taste. The beef whilst tender, was attached full of gristles and fat, worst than HK Yoshinoya. A disappointing noodles dish in every aspect.
日本甘薯豚蒸籠 (日本産豚肉:味噌汁、前菜、ご飯付き):
蒸籠料理 is occasionally offered in Hong Kong, but its not really popular. I remember some En Group or Mr Steak restaurants offering it... my first exposure to this was in 九州, as it is a popular method to steam either Pork or Wagyu over vegetables, so that the fatty juice drips back and gets absorbed by the veggies and you enjoy eating them together. The Japanese Imported Pork used here is in fact quite tasty and sweet, nevermind that its slightly over-steamed and bordering dry, but not annoyingly so. Topped with a basting of miso based sauce, this really is quite enjoyable but the problem of it being too over-cooked at high temperature ruins the experience a bit. At least it was much better than the above bowl of curry kishimen.

SUMMARY:
I did not think this shop was very impressive, as from the starter of a marinated shellfish, to the ultra dry onigiri ball, a mediocre miso soup, a slightly mushy rice, not to mention the above disappointing Curry noodles dish. If there was to be 1 dish which could salvage the night, it would have been the Steamed Sweet Potatoes Pork from Japan, but that was barely ok-good rather than excellent.
Not a Restaurant I would return to in a hurry, considering the price is not exactly a bargain, and the cooking recipe or results aren't entirely very Japanese either but too localised.
