Hey guys! It’d Kayden back with another review! Today, I will be reviewing Sun With Moon, a Japanese restaurant that is located conveniently in the heart of Orchard! If you guys are in the area or planning to do some shopping, this review is for you!
Food
Aburi Kaisen Chirashi Kamameshi $27
This was what Ice ate! It comes with a pot of small soup that tastes quite amazing! The rice itself contains many ingredients such as unagi, scallops, aburi salmon, etc which is very flavorful. If you are someone who prefers a dish that tastes slightly lighter, you can pour in the soup and enjoy the meal! If not, you can eat half of the rice before adding in the soup to complete the meal with something lighter and refreshing (;
Big ebi shioyaki $11.80
The smell of the charred prawns keeps coming back into my nose after we finished our meal for almost half an hour! The texture of the prawn is very good as well, quite ‘Q’ and the umami from the prawn head really packs a punch! But $11.80 for 2 prawns does not seem very worth it to me.
Aburi Cheese Salmon ($3.30/pc) and Aburi Shio Salmon ($3.30/pc)
Both are pretty good! The cut of the salmon Sun With Moon provides is thick and juicy! However, one notable mention is that if you have been to The Sushi Bar @ Ngee ann city, they provide better aburi sushi in terms of flavour.
Special tendon $24.80
Disappointing… It looked nice with all exotic ingredients, not commonly found in a tendon bowl such as snow crab and the leafy vegetable. However, the frying totally ruined the snow crab. There’s totally no sweetest or any kind of flavour at all… The prawn was fresh, but the batter was soggy. The leaf was surprisingly good tho! If you guys know me, I’m very particular about the sauce in a bowl of tendon. Sun With Moon doesn’t provide sufficient sauce! This point alone is a no-go for me.
Conclusion:
Sun With Moon serves many different dishes, and some are legitimately worth your money! Another notable point is that the service is really good as well! This is definitely a plus point (:
Avoid the bad ones and pick the good ones I mentioned in my post and you should be on your way to heaven.
