Japanese Steamed Egg (Chawanmushi) also comes in two flavours, one plain and the other with salmon roe topping. Other than the odd one out, the rest of us all opted for the roe version. Silky smooth steamed egg custard flavoured with broth and orange balls of umami bursting salmon roe is goodness in every mouthful. You also get slice of narutomaki (cured fish surimi), mushroom and chunks of chicken meat in the cup.

The highlight of this ala carte buffet is of course this plate of Sashimi Moriawase or raw fish slices. We have Salmon (Sake), Yellow Tail (Hamachi), Tuna (Maguro), White Tuna (Shiro Maguro), Swordfish (Mekajiki) and Octopus (Tako). I ordered extra portions of the swordfish since this is my favourite. The shiro maguro is actually not a tuna at all but rather the Escolar (Lepidocybium flavobrunneum), a type of snake mackerel. As you can see, all the fishes are sliced thickly which makes eating them such a pleasure. Dip a slice into the wasabi and soy sauce mixture before sending into the mouth. Oishii, the fish is so wonderful sweet and fresh!
