Kazu Sumi-yaki

Yest dinner had Japanese Food... It was my treat as a belated birthday dinner for my fren... I actually plan a list of places for him to chose & he chosen this Japanese Restaurant name Kazu @ Cuppage which served mostly grilled & bbq stuffs... A very nice place to enjoy jap food & quite a lay back place to relac after a tired day.. Similar to Japan 居酒屋... Tried quite a few dish as the portion of food wasn't very big... Below are the names of the dish... Only remembered the english name... Some of the Jap name, i forgot le..


1st pic is the Yanagigarei Bata aka pan fried fish with sauce recommended by that waitress cos we she tink that we din order much food. Taste Ok.. I only ate alittle of it & its semi raw roe..
2nd pic is Tontoro & the other one is yam wrap with pork.. Forgotten the name of it but both taste nice... Especially Tontoro , my Fav!! i like pork~
3rd pic is duck with euro which i tink its the sauce on it & Gyu tongue [cow tongue].. I know its sounds abit gross as we hesitate awhile before ordering... But its turn out to be amazingly juicy & yummie. [p/s : just dun remind urself wat it is lo...]
4th pic is chicken skin order by the bday boi... He said its nice but i feel its okay lo... I only ate half if it then pass to him liao...
5th pic is suppose to be appetizer but we ordered near to the end of our dinner... It state tofu in menu but doesn't look like one... We tried & renamed it as "Cold Chawanmushi with Roe on it" I taste egg in it too.. Maybe its egg tofu lo... I like tis cos its rather refreshing...
6th pic : If i din remember wrongly tis is actually Chicken Knee... Sounds funny rite... We imagined where on earth is chix knee??? Haha!! Cos of its interesting name, we ordered & turn out to be a nice dish too~~ Was giggling away when eating the knees... Counting how many chix was knee-less..... Kekez!






And last but not least, i wana share with you all the dish that me & bday boi like the most...
Its Ootoro sashimi aka Blue Fin Tuna.... Nicely presented hor... They have fat & semi fat Ootoro but we ordered semi fat de cos scared that fat one too fattening... Haha! Its super soft, super tender... It really melts in ur mouth without the hassle of chewing... Heavenly taste~ With such a heavenly tasty food in our stomach, we were wondering how much does it cost? The waitress did ask how many slice we want & we order 4 slice cos we wanted try other food too~ And u guess how much was it??

Tadah~ Ootoro cost $12 per slice... And both of us softly whispered to each other the price stated in menu was the price for per slice not per portion... Gosh! Luckily we din order again cos we din haven intention but too full liao.... This is the most EXPENSIVE sashimi that I/We have eaten in our life... Tinking back the heavenly taste of cos gotta pay a certain price mah... Not grumbling la... Just shocking to find out the pricing of it.... We were discussing on the Ootoro for awhile & we conclude that this Blue Fin Tuna must have taken Business Class Flight from Hokkaido to Singapore.. If not it must haven taken cruise & enjoyed the Spa packaging in cruise before arriving Singapore... KekekeZ... Joking away nia~ When i got home, i read the receipt again & find out another expensive thing which i din take photo of it... Sigh~ Its the Grilled Shitake Mushroom which cost $8+++ Its expensive becos we only receive 2 Shitake Mushroom size ard 6cm diameter cut into halfs... Its nice & juicy enuff but not worth the price compared to Ootoro... I never ate such EXPENSIVE mushroom before...

Overall, the food was delicious & worth the price except Shitake Mushroom... Only some of the dish are expensive [eg. sashimi]... The rest was quite alright... Slightly abit more expensive cos of the freshness & quality food... skewer food cost ard $1.60 - $9 per stick... Can try if u like Japanese bbq stuffs... Alot of interesting dish.... For sashimi lover, MUST TRY provided u willing to spend lo.... Really! Nvr bluff u...

End of the day, both of us like the food alot& I will definitely visit Kazu again without ordering sashimi...... Unless some1 else willing to foot the bill... Kekekez....

[still imaginig Ootoro taste lingering in the mouth..... sssSlurp!]
