J&J James and Jelina hosted this dinner at the famous Akashiwe walked fr Marriott to Orchard Parade Hotel which took less than 5 minutes
and entered into the wrong Jap restaurant
went into Akanoya Robatayaki instead
somehow the friendly staff escorted us to Akashi which was just next door
anyway both restaurants are under the same group.
God of Eateary looking surprised thereI was even more surprised when I dun see his cameras, lenses, tripod, gadgets and tools around.
"where are your wives and girlfriends?"
*reminder: Amy the actual girlfriend has been relegated to Flatmate Amy*
GOE: "This evening, u take pic....and blog bout it."
oooo okie lor.
we started off with japanese snail in light soyu
and the usual edamameAGAIN....it's supposed to be a SIMPLE dinner
everyone did TRY to stick to the SIMPLE theme.
from simple dressing to simple wines and simple food.
but when this Chambertin presented itself onto the counter
everyone fainted
and simplicity lost its meaning that evening.
wei...if we are drinking like this....die nothing else to drink already.
gonna be wine-famine soon.
fresh and sweet scallops fr Hokkaido?
sweet small tomatoes fr Japan
Isetan Spore is selling them, 3 pcs for SGD 18.50
lobster sashimi
hello buddy, dun look at me like this....with dopey eyes
I'm gonna eat u now!!!
top quality sashimi must go with top quality champagne
we dun even drink grand cuvee now....must drink with vintage.
this one lagi die!!! next time no more champagne to drink!!!
it was early into the evening, and wines + champagnes already lining up
squid with mentaiko
mentaiko is a type of cured fish eggs
crunchylicious shell fish served on the scallop shell
J&J James and JS sharing some serious discussion there
must be talking bout wines -_-
Si Fu Lawrence said his face is so red
but I think it's more of WHITE
next course - all the freshly prepared fish on a piece of bamboo leave
which was also flown in fr Japan.
with burdock roots and pickled ginger fr Japan
i hated the pink local type...it tasted so fake
die....everything also must be at its highest quality.
next time no other places to eat liao.
kampachi
every single piece that came out were instructed to eat without sauce nor soyu
think this was the hiramasa
amberjack
lurve these small japanese shrimps fried with batter
norwegian ocean trout dusted with yuzu skin
look how fat it was...nvm..fish fats are good for your health
omega oil
kekekekekkeke so can eat more
Chef Mervin working in such passionate mood
and kept on feeding us with more food
sushi of flounder fins which was my fav part of the fish
coz it has this crunchy texture
would u just stare at the ROE of a sea urchin?
GOE brought this
he's the RHONE man....next time dunnit to blind us....know that it has got to be a Rhone wine
1988 I was erm....ohmmm....urm....in my lollie dress running around like a notti monkey
didn't know a simple crab claw like this could be so delicious
Bagaholic Tracie chomping on the crab claw with her beautiful multi precious stone ring
then came 2 GIGANTIC piece of TORO - belly of the tuna fish
GAH!!! no TORO for me!!!!

egg cake-liked thingy with AKASHI's brand on top
