Scorching hot summer sun hasn’t prevented me and my friend, Abi, to walk our way to Kaiseki in the Fort Strip. Another friend, Rael, told me that, ” Kaiseki is more on using and bringing out the best in the available ingredients.”
We’ve spent a number of lunches together in this place trying out their various dishes but for some reason I haven’t blogged about it. Maybe I was, for one, so hungry I tend to forget about taking pictures. Two, when I’m with Abi, we tend to chat about sooo many things in our lives that we go through the hulla bulla of having a meal without noticing it haha.
The Food… [click more

My ultimate favourite here is their Sukiyaki, that is said to be good for two… but I think it’s for three or for modest servings, it’s good for four. Too bad I haven’t taken pictures in my previous visits here.
While waiting for our orders, an appetizer called tsukemo is served. This is dilis (dried fish) and cabbage that reminds me of achara or milder version of kimchi.
Whenever I dine in a Japanese resto, I’d always ask for their Oyakudon, which is rice topped with chicken, egg, and mushroom. It’s only in this visit that I ordered for this though.
Abi ordered Gyudon. This is beef rice topping with egg. “Don” in these rice bowls is taken from “donburi” or translated as “bowl.”
Our favorite in Kaiseki is Blueberry Smoothie.
Aside from the good food, what makes my office lunch time so special are the people who celebrate friendships whatever food is on the table, wherever food is served.
