While hanging out with a friend in Causeway Bay, we decided to have Japanese cuisine for dinner. She recommended this place.I ordered a grilled eel rice with egg.It was a set that came with a bowl of soup and two small side dishes - one was a mixture of black fungus and pumpkin, the other one was vermicelli with shredded cabbage and carrots.Taking the lid off and seeing the grilled eel rice, I thought it looked very appetising. They were very generous with the serving of eel, the egg looked silk
I ordered a grilled eel rice with egg. It was a set that came with a bowl of soup and two small side dishes - one was a mixture of black fungus and pumpkin, the other one was vermicelli with shredded cabbage and carrots. Taking the lid off and seeing the grilled eel rice, I thought it looked very appetising. They were very generous with the serving of eel, the egg looked silky and the proportion of rice was just right (I hate it when restaurants serve huge portions of rice with tiny portions of eel!)
But the taste was a complete let down! I could barely taste the eel at all! Don't know if it's the way it was cooked or the quality of the fish but either way it was not good. Not only that but the texture was very weird, makes me think that the eel was very very unfresh. Overall, even with the sauce, egg and everything combined, the taste was extremely bland.
My friend ordered a beef curry rice wrapped in egg. From the looks of it, the egg also looked very nice and silky; didn't try it though. I tried a very tiny bit of the rice with the curry sauce but even this tiny bite tasted extremely salty! I suspect that they use the packets of curry powder available commercially? Not sure.
I was already full from my meal so wasn't interested in trying their dessert. My friend ordered a matcha milkshake though. When the real thing arrived at the table, it looked a lot sloppier compared to the one in the menu. Didn't try it myself but my friend said 90+% of the milkshake was just ice-cream, she could barely taste the matcha at all...
Don't think I'll be revisiting this place any time soon...
