Shiraishi @ The Ritz-Carlton

It's 1am in the morning and here I am blogging about the fabulous dinner I just had with my family. It was amazing I tell you! We all probably have a certain standard for Japanese cuisine right?

Well, let's just put it this way. After dining at Shiraishi, that standard shot through the roof.

me!

I know all of you would love to see the photos of all the food we had throughout the dinner, and I'm definitely not going to disappoint all of you~

our appetizer~!

Ain't it just so pretty? I love the different shapes of all the small dishes used.

sashimi~!!

mixed vegetable in broth - boiled item

See the carrot over at the right side? That had to be the sweetest carrot I've had in years I tell you. Yummy~~

grilled cod

I just love it when fish is cooked till perfection! This delicious piece of heavenly goodness flaked at every touch of my cutlery. A joy at every mouthful!

yummy tempura~~!!!

There's flounder, sardine, and baby shrimp. These 3 different (and entirely new) tempuras were a delight when they went with radish in tempura sauce, or just salt.

delectable sushi~!!

By this time my sis was going to faint. Lolx. But that didn't stop her from finishing this whole course. Knowing her, she wouldn't have missed this for the world. Haha~

clam miso

This was really nice. The clams made the miso just stand out from any other miso soups I've ever tasted before.

brown tea in a real cute cup

Does anyone notice the man hanging on the cup? Wahahahaha~~ I think this cup is really cute. I would love to have one of these in my home. Super cool man~~

This was meant to cleanse our palate after a really strong meal. As the brown tea prepared us for the finale, we were anxious to see what they had in store for us.

the grand finale~~!!!

This was a gem after such a lovely meal. It ended the meal on a really sweet yet alluring finish. Making you think of the oceans and the breeze, this dessert ended everything on a beautiful note.

A lovely dinner, spent well with the company of family members. An evening not to be forgotten, and a night of learning. Food cooked till perfection, presented with such flair. I'm impressed with the dinner, and would highly recommend it to anyone seeking out for a fantastic meal in Japanese cuisine.
