My kind of chawanmushi, creamy, smooth with luxurious uni (sea urchin) garnish. The chawanmushi is well mixed with uni. When placed in the mouth, it is filled with creamy uni taste that melts, leaving a good, lingering aftertaste in my tastebud.

Monte Risaia
59 Duxton Rd, Singapore 089523
The best part of our 4-course Omakase dinner was two spoonfuls of Japanese food on an apetisers dish that also includes mediocre ham and an extraordinarily bland piece of fish. The food is decent, but there is absolutely no innovation and there’s no wow dish. The signature uni custard is much less scrumptious than the delightful uni pudding at Lolla. That said, it is a steal at $98++ (plus an extra $20 if you want wagyu, but you don’t have to, as it ain’t great!) Friendly service. Chef Taizō Yamada may be a Yamaha, but not yet a Steinway. Risaia is still a Bukit waiting to become a Monte.
