Here I am, for the fourth times because I love truffle somuch. If you think it’s expensive, yes it is but I gonna tell you that it’s WORTH IT! It’s truffle, uni, caviar and even angel hair. From the ingredients - cooking preparations - sauce - services and how they elevate the combination flavors — they totally deserve it! Again, momozen never failed me in terms of truffle! (sorry for the long posting)
First of all, my appetizer goes to:
1. ANGEL EGG “VERSION 2” (65K) - foie gras mousse, truffle pudding, wakegi (Japanese scallion/onion). What a great appetizer! The mousse is really smooth and melt into my mouth. The truffle pudding is genius and unique. Great presentation as well! (10/10)
2. TRUFFLE SOMEN WITH CAVIAR (95K) - Chilled japanese somen, dashi infused black truffle, truffle kombu, caviar, 24K Gold: The taste was incredible, they cooked that somen perfectly and served it beautifully with a little touch of caviar and 24k gold on top! (9/10)
3. FOIE GRAS GYOZA (120K) - foie gras, shiitake duxelle, yuzu ponzu. A good dish but compare with other tapas, gonna say it’s the simple one, not that massive combination flavor I imagine before (7/10)
4. TORO PIZZA (165K) - Chopped toro, crispy dough, caviar, garlic cream, micro herbs. This is my number 2 best toro pizza I ever eat — super thin and crispy. How could I resist the combination of tuna and caviar in one mouthful lol !? I ordered it twice btw, because it’s that good!! (9/10)
Second, the amazing main course:
5. EBI JAGA (155K) - jumbo tiger prawn, crispy jagaimo potato ring, mango chili. I’m sceptical at first that it gonna be a small portion like other dish but I’m wrong. Super jumbo & crunchy crispy prawn served in a plate. It’s great by eating itself with or without sauce. But that mango chili really gives extra kick and I love that sauce somuch. Really fresh and tangy, suits really well with the ebi! (10/10)
6. UNI UNI PASTA (195K) - spaghetti, uni cream, crispy black uni cracker, shrimp wonton. This is totally different from any uni I ever taste. They elevate the uni cream into something great! Super delicious and heavenly uni! And I thought the perfect unique combination gonna be that shrimp wonton with uni cream (10/10)
7. MISO SALMON (260K) - ocean salmon, caviar, baked onion, dill cream, shiro miso. OMG that 4 little ocean salmon is incredibly delicious. And I should appreciate the process of making that shiro miso and dill cream which is mind blowing (10/10)
35 degree
8. ATLANTIC SALMON (240K) - peas ecrase truffle dressings, crispy salmon skin, sauce Vin Blanc. Still great but with that kind of other dish I eat, this one would be my least favorite haha.. I didn’t think that peas and truffle is a perfect combination. But that vin blanc sauce is super fit with the salmon. And I should admit that their salmon skin is superb crisp and great! (8/10)
9. ‘BEST’ TRUFFLE DONABE GOHAN - Momozen signature fresh truffle rice (380K): Can’t explain how delicious it is! That truffle is massive, the Japanese chef shredded lots of truffle into that cooked rice in claypot and it’s really satisfying just by seeing it. And the taste - umami, crazily delicous and superb ‘truffly’. One word - PERFECT!!! Btw it’s vegetarian approved :) (10/10)
10. I ordered 2 mocktails: LES FLOTS (55K) MOCKTAIL (fresh lemon, blue curacao, mint monin, grenadine monin, sprite) and BLUE LAGOON (55K) MOCKTAIL (mojito monin, lechy monin, blue lagon, fresh lemon, sprite). There are two similarities - beautiful presentation and taste great! Both have similar elements and refreshing as well. If you like more sweet they go for blue lagoon. (9/10)
And when it comes to the end, I’m totally full but I’m curious about their dessert (as the appetizer and main taste incredibly amazing).
So, I choose YUZU CREME BRULEE (65K) - creamy yuzu custard, caramelised pineapple, ricotta and ohba leaf ice cream. With all that truflly taste in my mouth, I just want something more refreshing and sour - omg it’s a wise and perfect decision. Everything in this plate is amazing and suits my palate well! (10/10)
And I’m gonna admit that their services are amazing! They did the surprise part very well and they change our plate everytime we finish one dish and the other dish come (so I ordered 9 dishes and they change our plate 8 times). The christmas tree is great as well, christmas vibes oh yasss absolutely!! One of the best fine dining restaurant with perfect food and services!
