Tomo Izakaya Chinese New Year Set Menu 2015
Wednesday, February 18, 2015
Here at Tomo Izakaya with their special curated Japanese-inspired Chinese New Year set menus. There are a total of three festive set menus available: $333 (4-6 pax), $666 (6-8 pax), and $888 (8-10 pax). Tomo will be open on the first day of Chinese New Year and till 3am on weekends.
The set menu served that night was the $666 (6-8 pax), excluding the grilled dish: Grilled Lobster with Walnuts Miso Sauce which was not served.
Salmon and White Meat Fish Yu Sheng - Tomo's innovative Yu Sheng Tower, where the ingredients are delicately
stacked in layers, to form a tower. It includes Amaebi (sweet
shrimp sashimi), Tobiko (flying fish roe), Kanpachi (amberjack) and
Salmon.
The Yu Sheng is available for ala carte and it comes in two sizes, $66 (3-4 pax), and $128 (6-8 pax). Premium add-ons such as Hokkaido Hotate,
Chutoro and Ikura are available in medium and large sizes (additional $20 and
$40 respectively).
Appetizer:
1. Simmered Duck - sadden by the appearance as the meat is rather tough and dry.
2. Edamame - can't go wrong with this!
3. Deep Fried Baby River Prawn - a good bite to kick start your appetite.
4. Marinated Octopus Wasabi - though it may appear raw, in fact it isn't! It's crunchy and I love the wasabi after taste.
5. Unagi with Cucumber - I know it can't be compared to Japan's Unagi, but this not the best unagi I've eaten in Singapore. I was having high hopes on this dish but it disappoints, feels very rubbery.
Deep-fried Dish 1: Deep-fried Soft Shell Crab with Salad - Love the generous portions but the Soft Shell Crab seems to lack. Not as crispy as I expected it to be, overall pretty decent.
Deep-fried Dish 2: Deep-fried
Whole White Meat Fish with Yuzu-flavoured Sauce - on the other hand, this is very crispy haa! Can't really taste the Yuzu sauce but it's good on its own too.
Braised Dish: Tenderly
Braised Pork Soft Rib Bone with Japanese Rice Cake - a very interesting mix, probably one of my favourite dish of the night. It's easy on the chopsticks as the meat falls off from the bone almost effortlessly.
Rice Dish: Toro and Chutoro Sushi - loves the texture of the tuna, if only it can be served fresher.
Soup Dish: Prawn Miso Soup - nothing much to talk about a decent seafood miso soup.
Dessert: Hokkaido Dessert Plate - the dessert never fails! All four tasted heavenly :) Especially the green mochi in the bowl, some called it Matcha Warabi Mochi and it ooze too. Super addictive!
