yesternight, kenneth and i visited Shoya, a one hat japanese restaurant located on market lane. i have always been wanting to dine there after hearing cindy's constant praises about it. both of us had a $100 degustation set, and felt that our money was very well spent. service was excellent, kenneth's beer was on the house as we waited quite awhile for it. after that, there was hardly any wait after each course.

i love every single dish served. no complains at all, only praises. you can tell that a lot of effort was spent in creating each dish. all the flavours matched perfectly! every bite gave me a wonderful surprise. we were so full after the meal, they don't sting on the portions.

better than nobu i shall say.
