Kaisan
The pathology written paper on Tuesday didn't go too well. It was easy, but so easy that I didn't study the easy things very well, instead on focusing on the harder things. Grr. It warranted a sinful lunch treat, so Penance and I hopped over to Kaisan at Raffles Hotel. I'm ashamed to say that we spent $35++ on lunch.
Both of us got the sushi gozen set. For some reason, the waitress did a double take when I told her "two sushi gozen sets".
It started with the appetizer, a crunchy mix of vegetables paired with miso paste. The miso paste is milder, yet sweeter than the one at Kazu.
The sashimi was very fresh. Loved the tuna, though I usually dislike it.
The sushi was fantastic; and came with just a small pinch of rice. Perfect for me.
The saba shioyaki was very moist and tender, though the skin could have been crispier.
The simmered dish consisted of fish - very tenderly cooked, tofu, mushrooms and vegetables. The broth had a comforting, homely feel.
Dessert was matcha icecream. Nothing spectacular, but included for completeness.
I'd definitely go back again. Well, someday after I start working, perhaps. The service is thoughtful and friendly; the dishes of the set come one by one, and they rearrange everything on your table when they bring in new plates so that it doesn't get too claustrophic. Our tea was refilled...almost obsessively, heh. But perhaps because there were only two or three tables occupied at that time.
