Shira nui- lunch special

I am a big fan of Shira Nui, have always opted for Omakase, every time I do go there. I heard that they serve a pretty damn good lunch too, so I checked it out.

Drum-rolls...

Fresh Sashimi of tuna, salmon and kingfish on a bed of rice. The dish is made more opulent with servings of unagi, king prawn and tamago. The result is a mish mash of everything that is good about Japanese food, freshness, simplicity and clean flavours.

Kaisendon

I opted for the tempura soba, cause I am a sucker for it, loved it since my fateful trip to Japan, where I grew to appreciate. The tempura at Shira Uni is pretty solid, light and crisp, pretty much what you will find in most good Japanese restaurant.

Tempura Soba

Between our mains, we were able to squeeze in a couple of their signature sushis. Beef cooked on a side, drizzled with a sweet onion sauce of sort. The Salmon quickly pan fried seasoned, was spicy and peppery. The downside? IT cost a bomb. $18 for 4 pieces!
