| - I am always on the lookout for new concept restaurants, and my favourite is asian fusion. This place popped up on my nearby HOT and NEW restaurants and I just had to try it out!
(Food:)
CRAB CAKE TOSTADA: I will start off with the one I liked the least. Although the avocado crema was on point, I find that I don't particularly like crab cakes. The salad they put on the side was pretty tasty (and they do quite a good candied walnut), but the price point is far too steep for such a dish.
48H SHORT RIB DONBURI: was divine. Restaurants nowadays are really getting into the whole sous-vide deal, and honestly I can see why. Sous-vide allows the short rib to be cooked medium-rare while keeping the meat tender and moist. It was a delicious dish.
And finally the crème de la crème; the SOUFFLE PANCAKES seem to be the signature dessert here and did they taste heavenly? Yes they did. Although with an extra 15-20 minute wait time, the pancakes reminded me of Uncle Tetsu's cheesecake but with a stickier and thicker consistency. They were plated very nicely and came with a side of Iron Goddess soft serve.
This Iron Goddess soft serve was also part of their promotional soft-opening deal, where they gave everyone a free serving of their house-made ice cream. It was so good! It tasted like a flavour of bubble tea, but in an ice-cream version.
(Price:)
CRAB CAKE TOSTADA: $19
48H SHORT RIB DONBURI: $18
SOUFFLE PANCAKES: $14
IRON GODDESS SOFT SERVE: Free!
Extra 10% off for soft opening! (If you follow on social media)
(Ambience:)
Walking in, you feel like you stepped in a restaurant that is better suited as one downtown. The decor is clean and simple, with gold embellishments and succulents lining the table. They even serve tea in wine glasses! I am not fancy enough for this place!
(Overall:)
I liked it! I would come again just for the souffle pancakes! And hopefully, they'll have a grand opening, with more items on the menu!
