Lunch today was at Kuriya dining-fine japanese cuisine tucked away at a corner at Great World City, level 2. Its wood-swathed decor is aesthetically pleasing, with a zen touch and the dim lightings provided a nice ambience for the restaurant. And the open concept kitchen allows diners to watch the busy chefs at work.
The food is, of course, wonderful and fresh. The have all the old favourites like sashimi, tempura and sushi as well as many other types to suit different palates. You can choose either from the ala carte or the set menus.The presentation of the food is done very nicely as well. I recommend their set menu as its pretty value for money. I ordered the grilled cod in teriyaki sauce which came with piping hot miso soup, chawan mushi, appetiser, salad, rice and even dessert(which is my favourite part). The cod meat was done until it was melt in the mouth and the sauce had the right consistency and taste.
The tempura was really good. It was fried to a lovely golden crisp. The batter was delightfully light and crispy and not greasy at all. I loved the mushroom tempura. Even after being soaked for a while in the soy sauce which came with the tempura, it still maintained its crispiness.
The grilled fish that we ordered(which was more expensive than the set), was the highlight of lunch, I supose. Though I do not appreciate fish all that much, I have to say it was grilled to perfection, the meat being fresh and tender. It did not come with any sauce, so the sweetness and flavour of the fish was really apparent.
Like I mentioned, the highlight for me was the dessert. Normally in japanese restaurant, what you get is probably green tea ice-cream or the likes. But here, the dessert that came with the set was really extraordinary. Very exquisitely presented and delicious, you have to take a moment to appreciate it before eating it because the portion is quite small. They have a different dessert each time we came. Today, it was a lovely mocha mousse cake with a small scoop of chocolate mint ice-cream the size of a tennis ball, and decorated with a small slab of white chocolate and fruits..
It is really a lovely japanese place with a good standard of food. Expect to pay at least $30 per person though, depending on what you order. Like I said, stick to the set menu and you can't go wrong. Though for the more adventurous and money to spare, the restaurant has many other delicious offerings.
