My Dad's Birthday

on the 7th of january, my family picked me up after work and off we went to boat quay for japanese fine dining. i can't remember the name of the restaurant, but it starts with a D. the chef was previously from Shangri-La. needless to say, the food was 2 thumbs up.
miso mousse, salmon with honey dew, dried squid.
sashimi, my all time favourite. first time trying raw prawns, good!
scallops with fish eggs
slow cooked osyters and mushrooms with god-like sweet gravy
homemade ramen noodleswagyu beef (medium), the portion was too little though.
black sesame ice cream, yums!

one thing i love about this restaurant is that there is no menu. the chef personally designs the menu for you depending on the ingredients he has with him and what you like. everything is flown in from japan daily, so it's super duper fresh. we wanted to try this 24 hours cooked pork, but it was out of stock. people actually call in 3 days in advance just to book that dish. our dinner costs us 89 bucks per person. honestly, i feel that its a little overpriced, despite feeling so full.
ended the birthday celebration with a secret recipe oreo cheesecake.
