The name itself calls for attention. When I first read about Cho Cho San, it was the name of the restaurant that caught my eye. And after reading many positive reviews, I was keen to check it out.
A few weeks ago, there was an opportunity to have lunch here and it was nice that we could actually book a table for lunch. As opposed to get there early and queue up for a table! When I stepped into the restaurant, my first impressions were bright, light, clean, and modern! I felt excited to be here! The great lighting in the restaurant brought a big food blogger's smile to my face! :)
What's so interesting about Cho Cho San is none of the people at the helm are of Japanese origin and yet the menu is Japanese focused with a modern interpretation.
The menu is divided into Small dishes, Raw bar, Hibachi grill, Others, Sweets and Feed Me Please.
From the Small dishes section, we chose:
Silken tofu in tomato dashi - super smooth tofu with a delicious, flavourful yet subtle dashi. Very elegant broth but so good!
Tempura pumpkin - the pumpkin was soft and sweet with a contrasting texture of the crunchy tempura batter.
Fried chicken - a generous plate of what I would say was a very popular dish with us. The mayo went so well with the fried chicken.
Prawn bun - I wish I could have had more of this. A warm and toasted bun which cradled a beautiful mix of sweet prawn meat which had touches of mayo. Yum to the max! More please! :)
