Benkay Japanese Restaurant New Ala Carte Menu Release

After learning how to make sushi, does it make you feel like eating them? :) Thanks to the Executive Japanese Chef Tetsuya Yanagida of Benkay Restaurant, we had the chance to savour fusion dishes – a combination of Western and Asian touch. For instance, items such as foie gras, cheese and chilli padi are incorporated in the latest ala carte menu! Who would have thought?

Meticulous table setting

The dining experience was started with Thin Sliced Yellow Tail with Bird’s Eye Chilli and Wasabi Sauce that was fiery yet delicate. It definitely opened up all our taste buds instantaneously. If you couldn’t take too spicy food, I’d recommend you to remove the Bird’s Eye Chilli as the Wasabi sauce was hot enough. :)

After setting our tongues on fire, we were treated to the smooth and melt-in-your-mouth Steamed Foie Gras Egg Custard topped with Crab Meat Gravy. Truth be told, the taste of foie gras was really quite mild, as compared to the fragrant crab meat gravy. Nevertheless, the custard was too-die-for, silky and creamy to touch!

Assorted sashimi

My favourite for the night was the Deep Fried Soft Shell Crab Sushi Roll with Almond Sauce. In fact, give me anything with soft shell crab and I’d be delighted! This time, the chef smartly combined avocado and eel on top of the roll, giving it a triple boost to the already yummy sushi roll! The soft shell crab was nicely done, crispy without being too oily. Thumbs-up! I had multiple servings of this, since it was just too good.
