Oishi!! – Part 4

Friday evening was the last day in which dinner was complimentary from my hotel.

Dinner last night was exquisite as always though the restaurant wait staff were terrifically busy as there was a small wedding reception hosted in the restaurant too. The married couple were dressed in full traditional costumes, with the bride looking exactly like what you see in paintings – magnificent hairdo (though from my end it looked suspiciously like a wig), a huge kimono; and several of the guests were also in Japanese-styled suits and kimonos too.

Their reception table was partitioned off, though I managed to just take one picture of the happy couple (won’t post it here though).

So, coming back to dinner; it started with a very interesting long porcelain plate of appetizers:

Then raw meats: was that beef I ate…?

Then Japanese-styled meat balls:

Can’t remember what the name of this is: but it’s kaige something something!

And finally the main course (didn’t take pictures of the dessert):

It’s just incredible: I’ve had six evening of Japanese fine dining, and none of the dishes on each evening were repeated. Just goes to show the huge variety of cuisine here. Though at this point I’m already getting a little tired of Japanese cuisine. It’s delicious, but right now I’m already dying for roti prata, roti john, char kway teow, bak chor noodles etc.!

So, for tonight’s dinner I’m wondering: shall I go back to KFC / MacDonalds…? :)
