had a wonderful dinner lastnite at hajime at jln damai. i have wanted to try out this place for the longest time! finally went lastnite!
ok i am never... EVER going back to peasant japanese cuisine... u know... genki... sushi king... like eeewww... hahaha!! snob!!
bt seriously... lastnite spoiled it for me...
we started off with the common california handroll... dat was wen i died n went to japs food heaven..
i finally got to try sea urchin!! ive been dying to try this since foreverr!!! it has a naturally sweet taste... not overly fishy... bt even a first timer like me could tell its not really fresh... bt who cares! i finally kno wat sea urchin tastes like!!
d grilled mackeral is TO DIE FOR!! seriously.. ask for salt instead o teppanyaki sauce which i imagine would overwhelm the original sweetness o the fish which was oh-so-fresh! it has a super fatty taste and goes xtremely well w a squeeze o lemon.
this is the golden dragon maki which is salmon n prawns wrapped in rice and a layer o avocado n eel... promise sedapp sgt!
this i didnt particularly fancy tho it has received rave reviews from other food bloggers. its called the california cheese maki.i didnt think the taste o cheese and unagi blended all dat well.. but then again dats just me. it is said to be 'orgasmic'
sashimi was super duper fresh!! im not crazy about sashimi bt this one melts in the mouth i tell u!!
Grilled hotatei (scallops) in special garlic sauce... omg pengsan...
i love kaki fried! i order it everytime i go for japs! its oysters normally fried in batter n breadcrumbs but here they wrapped it in bread n deep fried it.. super sinful in taste...
d only downside is their lack of dessert.. i ordered the coralweed jelly ball coz i love coralweed bt they were out.. so i went for their macha ice cream n mochi... macha ice cream was fab.. bt their mochi wasnt all that great...maybe it was the chestnut powder it was covered in? i dont know.. just didnt hit the spot.. i forgot to take a pic o d mochi
wonderful wonderful dinner. will definitely return again for their mackeral n kaki fried and try more new things!
* i charged my dslr the nite before n relised i left it at home two mins upon arrival... smart or wat??
- was reduced to using my cam phone which rendered me blind after 3 red eye shots... i saw green spots till after dessert..
