The minimalist-Zen decor of Sun with Moon Japanese Dining and Cafe is casual yet stylish. It has a very inviting feel to it. We were grateful that they could squeeze us in at the last minute even though we showed up on a Friday evening without any advanced reservation. So we didn't complain when shown to a table right at the restaurant's entrance.
Helmed by Executive Chef, Tokio Sawai, the restaurant aims to serve authentic traditional Japanese fare alongside an array of more creative dishes. One of its specialties is Kamameshi - flavoured rice steamed with specially selected ingredients in an iron pot. At Sun with Moon, the broth and ingredients are meticulously prepared so that every pearl of rice is fully infused with the ingredients chosen. The seasonings used to create the broth are also skilfully chosen.
On our last visit, both darling wife and I chose the Unagi & Yakiniku Kamameshi. The fragrant steamed rice is topped with grilled eel with sweet soy sauce together with slivers of sauteed beef topped with egg yolk. Every spoonful of Japanese rice was full of aromatic delight infused with the thick broth of bonito and kelp and ingredients like mushroom, chestnut, konjac, carrot and lotus root. The unagi was soft and tender and very tasty with a light hint of sweetness from the drizzle of soy sauce. The thinly sliced beef too was very tasty with sufficient fats to ensure the moist tenderness expected of good Yakiniku.
To end the meal on a very happy and satisfying note, we had for dessert their famous Hokkaido Chocolate Mille Crepe and Sun's Tofu Cheese Cake. Honestly, I prefer the Tofu Cheese Cake from Japanese Dining Sun @ Chijmes. However, the Mille Crepe was sublime.
Throughout our meal, the waiting staff were prompt and attentive. We were served by 3 different staff, all of whom were polite and friendly.
