Former Japanese football icon Hidetoshi Nakata (中田英寿) is supposed to be a partner of this restaurant but I have never run into him during the few times that I've been here.

What everybody likes about KOKO is its unique chill-out vibe. I can probably grab a drink and easily spend a few hours with my friends over here.

Koko-licious ($75) - I'm starting things off with one of their mocktails with fresh grapefruit juice, lemon, honey and soda.

I really didn't want to get myself too full at this point coz after all, I will be having dinner in a little more than an hour. So just some snacks to ease my food craving.

Deep-fried chicken wings and lime ($88) - This was a dish that came highly recommended by my server. The "single bone" wings were marinated with miso (味噌) and deep fried with a light batter. Who could resist deep fried chicken wings that came hot out of the kitchen? These were pretty decent but I thought a little over the top with the seasoning (Grade: 3/5).

Tsukune ($98) - I thought these minced chicken would come on skewers but they managed to surprise me with a bit of contemporary twist on this one. The minced chicken balls were actually served on spoons with soft egg, nori and special soy sauce on the side (Grade: 3.5/5).

Interestingly, they have placed a small piece of crispy chicken skin on top of each chicken ball to give it a little more bite.

Soy sauce with soft poached egg, the usual partner for tsukune (Japanese chicken meat balls).

Foie gras and figs tempura ($168) - Easily the best dish out of the three. The Japanese figs and sliced foie gras were deep-fried to perfection with a super thin batter (Grade: 4/5).

I love the fact that they have wrapped the foie gras around with shiso leaf to give it something extra in both flavor and texture. That was slickly done.
