The menu deserves the mention for its offerings of Japanese desserts and poke bowls.

A perennial dessert favorite among the customers is the Raindrop Mochi, served on a plate with roasted soybean powder and a side of black sugar syrup. The clear jelly in a shape of a large raindrop has a soft and bouncy texture and the combination with the powder and pungent black sugar worked well.

Mizu Shingen Mochi (Raindrop Mochi) RM6

You simply got to try the Strawberry Daifuku. Freshly made by hand, it is probably the coolest mochi, with soft and chewy texture made with glutinous rice flour. A filling of sweet red bean paste and a whole fresh strawberry gave the dessert a depth  of sweetness and fruity acidity.

There are many savory dishes – favorites are the teriyaki chicken donburi and the Hawaiian classic poke bowl served with a base of either white rice, brown rice or salad.

Keep things light with the Tofu Poke bowl prepared with a base of salad and a combination of Japanese cucumber, cherry tomato, beans, and Sriracha aioli. It makes for a simple no carb meal! A new item to look out for on the menu is the Shakodon, a bowl of Japanese rice with mantis shrimp, ebiko and nori.
