It's been a while since I've last food blogged. To be precise, it's been over 3 weeks of the flu, fever, cold, cough and aching joints. But seeing that my taste buds had started to come back to life, Zen and I decided to Rise again! Hooray to yummy sashimi!
The downside to dining out so soon was my excessive coughing. Not only did I feel like a nuisance for constanltly coughing, but I accidentally (and rather embarrasingly) blew out the tealight candle numerous times! Thank goodness the staff were always so friendly in offering to re-light it.
Starters were rice paper rolls with cured salmon omelette. The smoked ocean trout accompaniment and hummus was so good.
Next was the clear soup, which was a lovely variation to my first visit. It was just as refreshing and left me lingering for more... mMmMmM...
The sashimi was what we had really come here for. The sauces bring out the delicate textures of the fish so well. Each were beautiful in it's own way... some of them had a soy base, others with hints of miso and sesame and another with something vaguely reminiscent of ponzu.
The main dish was also simple in execution. The Tonkatsu sauce was rich and tangy... I mopped it all up with the potato croquette!
I'll probably be back to Rise soon. They have birthday specials for members!
