Nothing tastes better than chawanmushi on a cold afternoon. But Kushi Dining Bar has a surprise for us!
We came to the restaurant expecting the usuals and instead, their chef showed us something better.
Old favourites with new tastes
Their first dish was the Pitan Tofu. It combines the century egg, a very acquired taste I might add, with tofu. This was definitely the most creative dish and the headliner. It tasted delightfully sweet, excessively flavourful because of the century egg. The tofu was soft and went well.
It was a very interesting combination and in my opinion, one of the must-haves.
Savoury to the last bite
The close contender to this to the Cheese Tempura, also one of their must-haves. This one is supposedly a dish only available mostly in higher-end sushi establishments and deservedly so – I love every last bite of it.
The crispiness of the tempura went innately well with the softness of the meat. There was a soya sauce that I tried dipping into but it felt as if the saltiness would cover the taste of the anago itself. I would recommend you eat it without the dip!
Tastes as good as it looks
Their ton toro satay sticks was a happy surprise for me. I am a great fan of satay and this platter combined my love for that along with my obsession with bacon. It is a mix of ton toro and cheese-wrapped bacon. If I had to choose one between the two, I probably choose the cheese-wrapped bacon and wait till you’re not looking then grab the other.
They complemented each other and it was an easy side dish to have during the course of the meal. The cheese-wrapped bacon fit into a quick mouthful and being a cheese-lover, this is definitely a dish not to miss!
