Kuriya Penthouse @ Orchard Central

A mini gathering with 3 of my friends to try out the Japanese food at Kuriya Penthouse.

  These are the only 2 restaurants on the 12th level, located amid the roof garden.

Entrance to the restaurant

You will be greeted by this huge display of awards that they have at the entrance of the restaurant to assure you of both the food quality and service.

Chef at work.

Neat table setting

The chopsticks that they use are very special, with both sides all pointed.  Out of curiosity, we asked one of the staff why they were designed in this manner.  The staff told us that one side could be used for eating and the other side, supposedly longer and more pointed, could be used for stirring.  They could also be used to pick up wet and dry seaweed.

The staff who was serving our table was attentive.  She opened up a small stool for each of us to put our bag.

I oredered Plum Wine on the Rock.  ($8)
See the huge ball of ice!

 I ordered the Shokado lunch set - "Tsubaki".  ($42)

Starter of the Day

 My bento which consisted:

1)  3 kinds of Appetizer, 

2)  3 types of Sashimi, 

3)  Omelette and Grilled Fish, and 

4)  Prawn and Vegetable Tempura.

 The primary reason why I ordered this set was because I love sushi.  This set comes with assorted sushi!  :)
