Sun with Moon - Shines

All the hype about dining at Sun with Moon gave me great anticipation of our scheduled lunch here at their Central Mall branch.

We were ushered to the small, cozy side private dining area by a friendly and smiley waitress who contributes to our great dining experience today.

Throwing all hefty price tags to the wind, we made our below order from their a-la-cart menu.

Teppanyaki Beef Saikoro Steak ($27.80++)

Ric was all praise for his order of Teppanyaki steak cubes that offers him much satisfying bite, coupled with bowl of simple but well textured, fragrant fried rice and a refreshing mini salad bowl is a well combination of a set.

Oh, and the surprising densely looking miso soup that was flavorful instead of being salty!

Unagi & Asari Kamameshi, Set A ($25.80++)

Kamameshi (Japanese traditional steamed seasoned rice pot) being Sun's main signature dishes, is a must order. Even without tempting illustration from the menu, my love for Unagi can't stop my order for the Unagi & Asari Kamameshi set.

Generous douse of clams and green board beans with pieces of tender and fatty Eel topped my Kamameshi; every mouthful was a delight.

A $3 upgrade from the usual Set B to A was well worth the extra dollars. Set A provides additional serving of thick & fresh slices of Sashimi Salmon w/Scallop and flavorful noodle soup.

Mini Macha Parfait ($4.50++)

I enjoyed my mildly bitter glass of green tea flavored parfait topped with green tea ice-cream, dollop of red bean paste, crunchy wafer at the side. Chestnuts, sweet potato bits and lots of mochi balls, jelly cubes, sponge cake cubes and bits of cornflakes on the bottom.

It was an all-in-1, i almost lost track of the types of the many ingredients that goes into the little glass of Parfait!

Tofu Cheese Cake ($5.50++)

A change from our usual fare of solid cheese cake, the home made bean curd cheese cake here was so much lighter in texture, smooth and sweet tasting. Crunchy base crust tasted fresh and not at all heavy.

Serving of their aromatic coffee completes our today's lunch escapade.

You may wish to note, that depending on the portion and types of food/desserts you wish to have; you select your dining hours. Food can comes in smaller portion and price during the tea time hours; while some desserts are only available at certain time of day.

Either way, you get what you pay for. Prices in porportion to serving size.

Having been forewarned about the higher pricing here, we still feel that the overall dining experience here is reasonably priced. And my limited vocabulary thus does injustices to the painstakingly prepared cuisine here.

Hope to be back soon.
