Gastronomical Minute: Zuma

It was pouring on Sat..but instead of craving for steamboat (which we always had), we decided to have Japanese. So off to Zuma we went.

Zuma, a dynamic Japanese restaurant and bar concept in Hong Kong, has been acclaimed as one of the world’s best new restaurants by Conde Nast Traveler magazine.

Zuma was listed as one of the world’s most exciting new restaurants on Conde Nast Traveler’s ‘Hot Tables 2008’ - one of just 105 restaurants that opened worldwide last year to make the prestigious listing. Taken from www.asiatraveltips.com

The place kinda reminded me of Nobu..poshy with hints of modern Japanese influence. I liked the dishes that B ordered.

The Spicy Edamame starter was a crowd pleaser.. just imagine normal Edamame stir-fried with spicy chilli. Next up was the Zuma Tofu... it was silky smooth and just perfect with a pinch of sea-salt. Nothing too fancy and over the top. Ooh I loved the Meguro sashimi, it just melts in my mouth and the ponzu sauce is always my fave. We had the beef which was grilled to perfection. When the tempura came, we were too stuffed.. but of cos, there wasalways room for dessert, that's a separate compartment altogether..haha.
