Kai Kai Sushi & Grill @ Wisma Atria - Newest Brainchild of Chef Yamashita Teppei Replaces Koh Grill & Sushi Bar, Offering Range of Japanese Fare

IMG_4002

Kai Kai Sushi & Grill now sits where Koh Grill & Sushi Bar used to be in Wisma Atria, bringing diners a comprehensive menu of Japanese dishes ranging from classic sashimi and sushi to yakitori and teppan.

IMG_3922

The new casual restaurant is helmed by Chef Yamashita Teppei, most known for its various Japanese F&B concepts on our island, such as Teppei Japanese Restaurant and Man Man Japanese Unagi Restaurant (now known as Unagi Tei). Here at his newest brainchild, Chef hopes to bring affordable yet quality Japanese fare to diners.

We sampled several items, with some in bite-sized portions. The prices listed are for the full portions.

IMG_3894
Pitan Tofu 4/5

Pitan Tofu ($5) is always one of my must-orders when it's on the menu. Kai Kai's rendition is decent, with a slightly nutty sesame sauce base and a generous topping of chopped century egg and tobiko. I would have preferred a more robust century egg flavour in its sauce for that extra oomph.

IMG_3899
Kai Kai Hanabi Roll 4/5

You will find a selection of different sushi rolls on the menu, one being the Kai Kai Hanabi Roll ($18.80). I found the sauce slightly too sweet, but this one is for fans of salmon as they offer it 2-ways here - raw in the middle and lightly aburi-ed on top.

IMG_3905
Negitoro Sushi 3.8/5

The Negitoro Sushi ($6) roll had the classic combination of minced tuna and chopped spring onions in its centre, with crunchy tempura bits for extra texture. The tuna portion could be much better, for a better ratio to the tempura bits.

IMG_3909
Nama Kaki 4/5

Next was the Nama Kaki, which had a plump and fresh oyster drizzled with a mildly tangy ponzu vinegar sauce.

IMG_3927
3-Kind Sashimi Moriawase 4/5

We got to see Chef Yamashita Teppei do a bluefin tuna block-cutting demonstration, leading to our next dish, the 3-Kind Sashimi Moriawase ($15). We sampled slices of otoro, chutoro and maguro.

IMG_3934

While they weren’t the best quality of cuts, they were still thick and fresh.

IMG_3943
Buta Enoki Yakitori 3.5/5

The Buta Enoki Yakitori ($4) had enoki mushrooms wrapped with pork belly. While I enjoyed the grill on it, it was tougher and blander than I expected it to be. I prefer a stronger seasoning on this.

IMG_3948
Yaki Hotate 4/5

Served in its shell with a wedge of lemon, the Yaki Hotate ($12) carried a nice slight char. The plump scallop remained juicy despite the grill.

IMG_3958
Sukiyaki 3.5/5

While the pork slices were tender, we found the rest of the elements in the Sukiyaki ($16.80) more mediocre. The base could be a touch less salty as well.

IMG_3976
Kani Toro Donburi 4.2/5

From the selection of mains, I decided on the Kani Toro Donburi ($17). It was clearly created for crab lovers, with crab meat, crab leg and soft shell crab with toppings of ikura and tobiko. The original size and portion will also include an onsen egg! The crab meat used was fresh and sweet.

IMG_4002
Kai Kai Castle Bento 3.8/5

The Kai Kai Castle Bento ($18.90) was served in a multi-tiered bento box shaped like a Japanese castle. Each tier featured different items, namely tamago and unagi, assorted sashimi, and a bed of rice with chopped tuna belly, tempura bites, flying fish roe and ikura.

IMG_3999

Unfortunately, its taste paled compared to its look, with average cuts on the sashimi. I must say that it's still considerably decent for the variety at this price.

MinJiangCNY24-2

Adding a touch of sweetness to the celebrations is the Fortune Koi Fish 'Nian Gao' filled with Black Glutinous Rice ($52.80 for 8pc, Takeaway). Crafted in the shape of a Koi fish, symbolising good fortune, it presents a delightful twist with a filling of black glutinous rice.

MinJiangCNY24-7
Pandan Pineapple 'Huat' Tart

Inspired by timeless pineapple tarts, the Pandan Pineapple 'Huat' Tart is a delightful fusion of homemade pineapple chutney and pandan-flavoured almond cream encased in a crumbly tart crust.

The Chairman’s Lounge @ Pan Pacific Orchard - An Exclusive Private Dining Space Headed by Veteran Chef Leung Wing Cheung

IMG_0787

The Chairman's Lounge is Pan Pacific Orchard's new private dining space, an exclusive enclave accommodating up to 16 guests. With full-length glass panels offering a view of the serene Forest Terrace, this venue provides a unique dining experience. Headed by veteran Chef Leung Wing Cheung, formerly the Executive Chef of Si Chuan Dou Hua, The Chairman's Lounge presents a series of festive menus to celebrate the Year of the Dragon, available from 22 January to 24 February 2024.

IMG_0791
Prosperity Exotic Garden Yusheng 5/5

The Prosperity Reunion Set Menu commences with the signature Prosperity Exotic Garden Yusheng featuring lobster and a wholesome medley of 20 fresh vegetables and fruits, including green and red lettuce, beetroot, turnip, soybean sprouts, cucumber, carrot, mango, and more. The toppings encompass whisky-infused sea cucumber, pistachio, dried pineapple, dried strawberry, and crispy brown rice for added texture and flavour. These elements are harmonized with a chef-made osmanthus sauce and layered with a unique black truffle sauce enriched with Japanese matsutake mushrooms.

IMG_0799
Cantonese Double-Boiled Supreme Soup 4/5

Next, we had an equally nourishing Cantonese Double-Boiled Supreme Soup, slow-cooked with ingredients such as fish maw, sea cucumber and fresh crab claw.

IMG_0811
Pan-Seared Dried Oyster With Duet Of Traditional Crispy Chicken 4/5

An interesting creation is this Pan-Seared Dried Oyster With Duet Of Traditional Crispy Chicken, chef's rendition of the Lor Mai Gai. Enveloping the glutinous rice with a rich foie gras centre is a layer of crisped chicken skin. I appreciate the subtle use of a small piece of foie gras to impart its richness to the dish. The dish is finished with a plump, pan-seared dried oyster to enhance the flavour.

IMG_0819
Giant Soon Hock 5/5

Giant Soon Hock, prepared in two ways, was a joy to savour upon given the varied flavours and plump texture of the fish - steamed fish head & belly with tofu and preserved vegetables and "Shun De" style deep-fried fish tail in superior light soya sauce and scallions. I appreciate how the piquant preserved vegetable broth complemented the more gelatinous part of the fish and that the fishtail was fried to perfection, keeping the flesh moist and tender on the inside.

IMG_0827
Braised 2-Head Whole Abalone 4/5

Another premium ingredient featured in the menu is Braised 2-Head Whole Abalone in golden superior stock with snow pea shoot. The sweetness of the stock and the snow pea shoot complemented the tender abalone.

IMG_0832
Crispy Noodles with Australian Lobster Meat 3/5

The noodle dish for this menu is Crispy Noodles with Australian Lobster Meat, served with a silky egg gravy infused with lobster broth. A smaller portion of the noodles would have brought a better balance to this dish.

IMG_0842
Double-Boiled Bird’s Nest 4.5/5

We indulged in a Double-Boiled Bird's Nest With Rock Sugar Served In Mini Pumpkin for dessert. The pumpkin added texture and sweetness to the dish and was delightfully soft, providing a joyous savouring element.

IMG_0846

3 set menus are available - Delightful Set Menu, Prosperity Reunion Set Menu and Eternity Reunion Set Menu are priced at $2,688++, $2,988++ and $3,288++ per table of 10 persons, respectively. Vegetarian Set Menu is available as well.
