Evelyn's Birthday Bash 2009

Sun with Moon Japanese Fine Dining & Cafe
501 Orchard Road #03-15 Wheelock Place

1st girl night outing for year 2009.. is to celebrate Evelyn's birthday..

Birthday girl has chosen the Sun with Moon Japanese fine dining and cafe at Wheelock place..The atmosphere was nice but the waitress who took our order seem to be a trainee.. she even missed 1 of our order (Caesar salad with chicken).. In the end, our orders are rainbow roll, California roll, wagyū beef with bacon, grill wagyū beef, fried udon, kamameshi with grill eel & clams, grill pork with pepper sauce and chicken teriyaki

We were caught by the attention of the banner outside the restaurant promoting the wagyū beef (和牛).. our saliva were already dripping.. so we ordered two different plates of wagyū beef.. Lucky we only ordered two plates as it is really disappointing.. it was nothing fantastic, probably due to the different grade of cattle. Even the bean spouts served with the grill wagyū beef tasted better than the beef. The wagyū beef with bacon was even worst.. the beef was totally uncooked! can't even chew. I can take medium or even medium raw.. but that one is totally RAW!!

Personally I like the rainbow sushi & kamamenshi (釜飯) with grill eel & clams. The rainbow sushi comprises of crispy soft shell crab, mango, avocado rolled in seaweed with Japanese rice seasoned with vinegar, covered with mayonnaise and topped with bright tangy crunchy smelt roe. The kamamenshi is like claypot rice.. it is served with a little hourglass on top indicates when the wooden lid may be lifted.. the clam was tasty and love the seasoned eel :)

All other dishes are just so-so.. it is either too tough or too salty :(

After the dinner, we decided that we should go somewhere else for dessert.. We serioulsy need something sweet to satisify our craving.. we were thinking of Häagen-Dazs or coffee connection. When we were ready to leave the restaurant, we suddenly remember that there is NYDC cafe downstair.. But it was packed and the next door Big O cafe restaurant capture our attention.. the dessert menu look pretty similar to NYDC cafe (actually Big O is the sister restaurant)



Big O Cafe Restaurant
501 Orchard Road #02-04/05

We got so excited over the menu.. most of the desserts are named after the movie "BATMAN".. We ordered the dark side (mud pie), Big O waffles with ice-cream topped with blueberry & chocolate nastiness. The dessert serving were huge in portion.. I love the chocolate nastiness cause the cake was served a little warm.. The waffles also taste great with my fave blueberry topping.. It also have another choice of topping "banana caramel" but I'm not a big fan of banana.. The mud pie was really tough but the girls enjoyed it.. I also had a glass of walking on sunshine.. It's a blended drink with mango tango ice cream.. at first I thought it was a float but they actually blend the ice cream so it kind of thick.. like milk shake.. LOVE IT!! :)
