Meeting with Zx's friends...

Weather:
Meeting Zx's friends at Hanabi Japanese Restaurant located at Odeon Towers. We ate the all-you-can-eat buffet dinner price at $33++ per person. Hmmm. Comparing Hanabi and Ikoi (Mirama hotel), I would prefer Ikoi. Both japanese restaurants are charging at almost the same price but there is a difference between both food quality. I'm not really impressed by the sashimi, garlic rice and their compliementary prawns. There are still some food that is good though.

Their restaurant logo on the chopsticks wrapper.

Had chawanmushi first. It's really small in portion.
Quite normal but don't take too much else will have high cholesterol.

Not sure what maki was it. But it was kind nice with that orange sauce.

On the left is Kimchi Yakiniku (Beef) and on the right is Stir-fried Yakiniku.
Both flavours are also tasty along with tenderness of the beef.

Sashimi is quite small piece. Though you can order many times.
Because of size and the freshness of the sashimi, when you put in the mouth you don't feel Shiok.

Another dish which is small portion is Spider Temaki (Soft Shell Crab).
Though small, but this one is really cripsy when you bite.

Don't know what is the sauce wrapping around the prawns.
Not a fasinating dish. Maybe because it's compliementary?

Haaa. Garlic fried rice.
The difference between Ikoi's and Hanabi's is their rice grain use.
I still prefer Ikoi's cause it has a stronger fragrance of garlic.

Tempura tempura.
Very Crispy and fresh. I had two rounds of it.

Nothing special about this shishamo.
Almost the same as the one bought from ntuc and fried it yourself.
