Sun with Moon Japanese Dining - Wheelock Place (5 Oct 2006)


Had dinner at Sun with Moon Japanese Dining last week. Somehow I wasn't craving for the kamameshi (Japanese traditional steamed rice pot, similar to our claypot rice) which the restaurant is well-known for.

As I wasn't feeling that hungry I thought to have something light. The beef wrapped around mushrooms and scallops sounded good. Also had cold soba to go with it. We shared the appetizer of shredded crabmeat and desserts too. It has been so long that I don't remember the actual names of the food we had. Lol.

The beef was fantastic! So tender that it can melt in your mouth, and the scallops and mushrooms went very well too. The cold soba was nicely chilled on a plate of ice and was al dente. The appetizer was really good. I like the crispy seaweed holding the crabmeat and the roe were good.

Desserts, we couldn't make up our minds and so each of us order one thing. The green tea tiramisu was rich and had strong green tea powder flavoring. It would have been better if there were dollops of red beans too as that would counteract the green tea taste completely. We also had the strawberry thing. That was nice! The tart strawberries made a great foil against the sweet red beans. The last dessert was interesting. Some chestnut paste (quite tasteless on its own) with red beans and a crispy tapioca or sweet potato chip on wafer. Not bad.
