Pisuke called me put for dinner meeting XD

So i asked her to meet me in Kenji sushi fusion restaurant. It's been around for quite a while but i haven't got to try them out. So we went and try.

When we entered the restaurant and the cute plate greet me from the start, i was about to squeal XD for those who knew me will understand why. I'm a sucker for cute plate and cutlery and all that jazz XD so when i saw they used all cute, different plate on each table i just got hype up to eat XD

Fancy restaurant, funky decor and all unique detail touch. Me so likey, but unfortunately it does not follow with other aspect. We decided to order 4 sushi. Most of their pricing for the fusion sushi range around 20-100k depends on what they have on the roll. They use fancy ingredients such as lobster, variety sashimi, caviar, etc they mix it all together. They got two different menu. One on their fancy menu book are the creative fusion roll which consist of those fancy ingredients, range around 40-100k they got full (8 pcs) or half (4pcs). They also got economic roll menu (which they didn't gave us until a while later. I think they forgot about those) the price range for these economic roll is around 20-50k which have the 'basic' ingredients without fancy creative add up.

Our 4 sushi that we bought is 3 creative and 1 economic. And none of them satisfied me. I can barely remember what i ate right now. I know we ordered one with mango (manbo mango) i think it was one that was put on the long with round separation plate (Did i describe that right? ), stacey roll (crunchy spicy salmon with avocado) and mystique ( i only remember they got tortilla on those) and one tamago kyuri mentai, which i forgot to take pic of. I can barely recall anything. I only remember that the mango, since it was drizzled with a bit of mango juice, it taste sweet. A little bit salt on rice for the tamago mentai, crunchy tortila among rice and a hint of salmon with mayo.

And since i thought we already there i should try their desserts. They only got 2 desserts, tempura ice cream and matcha pannacotta. Now desserts is something i can remember well. Theirs version of matcha panacotta is actually quite good. Bittersweet green tea but too overly fragrant and dry and tough for me. It's very matcha XD but still not something i enjoy a lot.

The only thing i do love is their ocha. Bitter like the way i like it, and it's only 8k XD the service is good but i just don't like the way they clean up, they took each empty plate just after you picked up the last remaining roll on that plate. The waiter/waitresses came 4 times to picked up the plate just after i took the last roll on that plate. They were polite though but i feel like they're kicking us out. Though we did took our time there XD

Beside sushi they also have the usual Japanese dish like udon, curry etc but i was a bit discourage to come again. I'll miss the cute plate!! But well maybe not the food.
