I really feel the harmony and balance of their cuisines. The authenticity of their dishes signifies their passion.

Pork Chop Rice

The main event. Woooooow, is the only word I can say about this huge deep fried pork chop. I guess they marinated it before cooking it. Very crispy outside and tender, soft and flavorful meat inside, served with rice and sauteed vegetables. This is better than tonkatsu

This is better that other sweet and sour dishes. I love the texture and the way it cooks, the crunchiness of deep friend chicken and cooked in sweet and sour sauce. A simple dish but a great balance of flavors.

A combination of pork, chicken, shrimp and beef deep fried dumplings accompanied with chili oil and dumpling sauce. The traditional gyoza was cook using steam but what I love here is they use to deep fry it, so its really crunchy outside and its hot inside.

According to them, this is a classic gyudon with their homemade kimchi mixed with Japanese mayonnaise. Its has mild spicy flavor served with rice underneath, this is my current obsession.

This is it, the Buffalo Wings ! What I love in this is, it comes with your choice of sauce, dip and drinks. The sauce coated on it is one of the best seller, the Original, like whats on its description its inspired by the original buffalo, New York recipe. A bit tangy and has right amount of heat accompanied with also their best seller Blue Cheese Dip and serve with steamed rice and large drink a choice of red tea or lemonade.

Sweet Ending: Wicked Oreos

A full plate of heaven, this is the flaming wing's best seller dessert. Oreo? Wheres the oreo cookies?

Cream of Mushroom Soup

The first dish that served is Cream of Mushroom Soup, what I love in this soup is really tasteful, thick, really smooth and creamy. 

Grilled Watermelon and Arugula Salad

Its really hard to deal with watermelon because it contain 92 % of water. Grilling it makes more tasteful and I love making it so savory with simple honey vinaigrette.

Braised Pork Belly with Jicama Slaw and Parsley Pilaf

 This main course composed of starch, protein, vegetable and sauce. The pork belly was cooked so finely, it is really soft and tender. I love robust flavor of meat under the red wine reduction. The Jicama Slaw is really tangy, overpower of acid but delicious. I love Rice Pilaf the way it cook. Over all it achieved the balance and harmony of this dish.

Coconut Crusted Fish with Guava Curry Sauce, Haricot Vert and Wasabi Mashed Potato

Another variety of Main Course. This awesome Coconut crusted fish using creamy dory, has crispy crust and its really delicious combined with thick, fruity and flavorful Guava Curry Sauce. The wasabi mashed potato has a kind grainy texture but its really delicious has right amount of wasabi and not too spicy.

Green Tea Panna Cotta with Cardamom Caramel

This is the simple way of presenting the dessert. It has right amount of sweetness but needs more time set to achieve the jelly texture of panna cotta. But I really love it :)

Finally were done on our first pre-fixe, just what our professor said, We made a Good Job :) I' am really happy and satisfied to the result of this function.

PS I assigned as Barista working on Bar Area. Lol :)
