Yu Wen and I finally went on our Sun With Moon date on Saturday night! We've talked about it for months and have been putting it on hold for so long already. We decided on going to the one at The Central and it was definitely a good choice! Aside from the fact that we were SO blur and did not realize that it was the last day of the Singapore River Festival and we could have gone on the river taxi for free. I doubt I would pay to sit on it but if it's free, why not right?? And also we missed out on the illusionist performance where a duo performed 15 illusions in five minutes which was just going on next to the restaurant!

Anyway, blurness aside, I had a good time catching up with the girl. There were so many things on the menu and we couldn't decide on what to eat so we decided to pick dishes that are recommended. So we started our dinner with a rainbow roll (crab & mango sushi roll with avocado) which was good, but I think there could have been more crab in it.. Followed by a teppanyaki dish of which I cannot remember its name! But it was basically half a potato with 7 skewers consisting of meat, mushroom, capsicum, etc poked into it. As interesting as it looked, it tasted pretty mediocre.. Or maybe it was because we were busy talking and it got cold.

My favourite was the beef kamameshi with raw egg! It's traditional steamed seasoned rice pot - pretty similar to claypot rice. I've heard about this dish before because it's presented covered with an hour glass on top! So once all the sand has transferred from to the bottom of the hour glass, then the kamameshi is ready to be eaten. Yums! Lastly for dessert, we had tofu cheesecake and murasaki imo monburan (purple sweet potato with water chestnut pie). The tofu cheesecake was presented with a little cage thingie but the waitress took it away after she laid the plate down on the table so we didn't get to have any pictures of it! Boo. The latter was a yummy surprise. The tartlet shell had custard, water chestnut and cream laced by the purple sweet potato. Mmm.

I guess the plus point about this restaurant is their presentation of food and good service. The food arrived really quickly after we had placed our orders, and the waiters somehow always appear just as I had finished my cup of green tea. We were lucky (and quite surprised) that the place wasn't very packed that night and that is how we ended up spending our whole night chatting there without even realizing how fast time was passing by. We also went by the G-Max Reverse Bungy and the new GX-5 Xtreme Swing before heading back.. Watching the people scream brings back memories of our own reverse bungy back in 2007 haha.

Eh I just realized my whole post sounded more like a food review. Oops. Anyway, it's a nice place to splurge at once in a while, with nice ambience to boot. Next time I'd try the sukiyaki. :D
