Jumbo Shrimp 3.8/5

We were greeted upon arrival with an amuse-bouche of tender Jumbo Shrimp with a sweet-tangy homemade salsa sauce.

Japanese Octopus Salad 3.8/5

This is followed by a romantic orchard of Japanese Octopus Salad, which consists of grilled sliced pieces of Japanese octopus, beetroot puree and fresh fruits embedded in a young mesclun salad tossed with extra virgin oil, and drizzled with balsamic reduction.

Chicken Consommé 4/5

The Chicken Consommé features bacon-wrapped chicken pieces with mushroom cheese fillings in a clear, fragrant Chicken Consommé that is packed full of savoury flavours.

Caprese Salad with Balsamic Glaze 3.8/5

Next, we had the Caprese Salad with Balsamic Glaze. A sweet fruity combination of sliced peach, tomatoes and sliced mozzarella cheese, drizzled with balsamic reduction and extra virgin olive oil.

Palate Cleanser

We had the palate cleanser of tangy lime sorbet and limoncello before moving on to the mains.

Signature Roasted USDA Prime Rib of Beef 4.2/5

For each set menu, diners can choose between the Signature Roasted USDA Prime Rib of Beef or the Goose Foie Gras with Chicken Stew. For the former, it comes in a 150g of signature USDA Prime Rib of Beef that is carved and served with US Idaho mashed potatoes. Yorkshire pudding, whipped cream horseradish and a choice of creamed corn, creamed spinach or buttered peas.

Goose Foie Gras with Chicken Stew 4/5

An alternative main is the Goose Foie Gras with Chicken Stew, which features a soft and tender pan-seared goose foie gras with a savoury chicken stew, served with poached egg, seasonal vegetables and US Idaho mashed potatoes.

Round off the course meal on a sweet note with the Strawberry Yuzu Mousse Sweetheart Cake - a decadent white chocolate strawberry mousse with a soft fruity yuzu coulis, and topped with pink chocolate glaze, or the Red Velvet Valentine's Cake, which is a lovely heart-shaped moist red velvet cake, lightly frosted with cream cheese filling.

Rockon Tokyo @ Tanjong Pagar - Serving Up Obanzai With Premium Sake

Brought to you by famed sake sommelier Koki Miyoshi and head chef Sekiya Katsuyuki, Rockon Tokyo at Tanjong Pagar serves up obanzai, a traditional Kyoto home-cooked style, along with a selection of premium and rare sake. The menu revolves around seasonal ingredients that are presented in their best form without any MSG or preservatives.

Homemade Cold Tofu 5/5

One of the best ways to experience this cosy little place (seats only 22 pax maximum) and its homely cuisine is perhaps by ordering the omakase menu (8 courses for $88). It will include a starter, assorted obanzai, a warm dish, seasonal sashimi, charcoal-grilled seasonal fish, seasonal fried fish, tamago kake gohan and a homemade honey lemon pudding for dessert. Starting with a Homemade Cold Tofu, its texture and taste seem to be telling me that this is how tofu should taste.

Assorted Obanzai 4/5

On to the second course, we had the Assorted Obanzai. Each dish carries a distinct texture and flavour characteristic of its own. The Hijiki Seaweed, Beans & Tuna Salad ($6 ala carte) was very savoury with a starchy texture, probably from the addition of chickpeas. The Lotus Root Ohitashi with Minced Shrimp ($9 ala carte) highlighted the crunchy texture and sweetness of the lotus root by simply adding a sprinkle of minced shrimp. Lastly, the Octopus & Okra dressed with Japanese Plum Sauce ($12 ala carte) was pretty intense, bringing out the subtle flavours of the 2 key ingredients.

Boiled Shogoin Turnip & Chicken Dumpling 4.5/5

One of my favourite dishes of that evening other than the tofu was this Boiled Shogoin Turnip & Chicken Dumpling with Special Lemon Oil. Akin to a good oden dish served with a nicely boiled turnip, its clear broth was delicious.

Sashimi 4.5/5

It is hard to resist the fresh Sashimi that is imported from different parts of Japan depending on their seasonal catch.

Charcoal-grilled Spanish Mackerel 4/5

We had Charcoal-grilled Spanish Mackerel which was in season. The skin was perfectly crisped, with the meat firm and sweet.

Deep-fried Crab Dumpling 4/5

The Deep-fried Crab Dumpling was like a Japanese style crab cake. I like how thin and crisp the crust was, encasing a sweet and savoury crab filling.

Rock On! Treasure Box 3.8/5

Gout-O I.C.U 3.8/5

For the next course, we had an add on - Rock On! Treasure Box (+$90) and the Gout-O I.C.U (+$60). Rock On! Tokyo Treasure Box features tamago kake gohan with white/black truffle, uni, caviar, crabmeat and ikura while Gout-o ICU serves the holy trinity of ikura, caviar and uni. As lavish as they might seem, I very much prefer the original tamago kake gohan. Align with the essence of obanzai; the steamed Japanese rice comes served under a blanket of torched egg white meringue and egg yolk. I had a few spoonfuls of that on its own, and the simple taste of the fragrant white rice with the egg was highly comforting. The rich and savoury toppings had kind of masked the beautiful flavours of the rice and egg.

Honey Lemon Pudding 4/5

Dessert was a Home-made Honey Lemon Pudding ($8). Its creamy texture was like a hybrid of a rich mousse and custard. Sweet and tangy, the caramelised sugar crust added a balancing hint of bitterness.

You may add on 5 glasses of sake pairing for $60.
