Dinner at Rakuzen at Milennia Walk first floor

My dad and I had dinner at a Japanese Restaurant at Milennia Walk. The restaurant name is Rakuzen. The service experience was excellent right from the moment we were entering the restaurant. We were warmly welcome and service for the drinks and the refills of the drink was very prompt.

The menu had a wide selection of Japanese dishes ranging from sashimi, sushi, japanese style grilled, japanese orientated Chinese Food, various rice sets, appertizers and fried selection.

We ordered the following items shown below.

The first dish was a salmon, salmon belly and salmon roe sashimi. The salmon was very fresh and really the salmon belly was excellent. It has a richer taste and the meat had a better texture. The salmon roe was very nice though a bit salty :)

Next is the grilled squid. Unlike other places where the grilled squid will come with a sauce, this came without any sauce, which gave me some doubt about the dish. However when I tried the first slice of the squid, my pre-judgement was way of the mark. It was excellent. It was just grilled with salt. The meat was a bit crisp on the exterior but it just managed to maintain the water content in the squid. This gave the squid a very nice chewy texture. Favourite dish !!

Next was the spider roll. ( Actually it is soft shell crab maki covered with roe) The crispyness of the crab which is covered with the warm rice and generously coated with the roe gave this dish and extra dimension. The roe on the rice when u bite it will give a nice sensation which compliment the intial taste when you have the soft shell crab.

It was followed by the snow crab sushi on the left of the picture and the salmon belly sushi. As can be seen from the photo, the meat is bigger than the rice at the base. The sushi were yummy.

My dad had the grilled fish set. The fish was quite nice.

I had the Roast Pork Ramen with a pork based soup. The serving for the roast pork was generous. The meat had a very nice texture and flavour. The ramen was also delicious. The slight downside was I felt the soup was a bit too salty for me.

I really loved the sushi and the spider roll especially. It was an enjoyable dinner with good and efficient service and great food. Will plan another visit :)
