| - I have dined here on several occasions, once for summerlicious and twice for my birthday. This time it was for a friends' birthday--there were three of us and we decided to share our meals.
We decided to start with the Miku Marinated Tofu Salad and this was good, love the tofu and grilled tempeh but nothing outstanding.
We then got the smoked soy grilled octopus with black garlic aioli, chorizo, yuzu saffron quinoa, purple baby carrots and kale. A lot going on but it was superb in flavour--the only thing I didn't like and the reason of the lack of a star was that the tentacle I had was burnt to a crisp at the tip; beyond "smoky". And at such a luxury restaurant this should have been perfected.
Next up was the Kaisen Soba Peperoncino which was delicious! Highly recommend! It was a bowl of prawns, squid, scallop, mussels, chilli garlic soy, sweet pepper, shiitake mushrooms, tomatoes and wild arugula. You can order this mild and spicy, we had it mild and I had a tiny bowl of chilli flakes on the side.
Then came the Aburi Oshi Sampler where we got to try a piece of Ebi (fresh pressed prawn, lime zest and ume sauce; in my opinion the best one), Saba (house cured mackerel and miso sauce), and Sake (pressed BC wild sockeye salmon, jalapeƱo, and Miku sauce). Partially torched sushi is just so good! Feels like healthy candy
We also go the Miku Roll which was also very delicious--sockeye salmon, crab, cucumber, uni, rolled in tobiko and miku sauce. This was a fun roll where flavours popped overwhere.
Finally it was the Miku Signature Sushi selection--it was so pretty as it came out lined on a white plate like a showcase of jewels. I have nothing bad to say only that the sushi here at Miku is just so yummy.
For dessert we ended with the Ichigo Mochi Dome, Jasmine Tea Ice Cream and their special of the day, Grand Marnier and Ginger Ice Cream. Oh boy, I loved everything! So so good! Until next time
