Everything Hermes at Kenwa Orenji<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Have you ever been to a fancy Japanese restaurant and thought, “I just want uni, otoro and wagyu,” just all the greatest hits of Japanese cuisine? I think that’s what Kenwa Orenji at Mohamed Sultan<\/strong> is trying to achieve. If Kenwa Orenji were a movie, it would be Avengers: Endgame<\/em>, a blockbuster with all the mega stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Even tableware is Hermes. (Is that a gift for me? “No,” said the wait staff. It’s just a decoration and you can’t bring it home.) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When you enter the space, it’s all orange (or \u30aa\u30ec\u30f3\u30b8 orenji), with boxes of Hermes as a centrepiece display at the entrance. Everything looks Hermes too, from the art prints on the wall to the tableware. You can already see why the 10-course dinner menu is at $388++<\/strong>. (lunch starts from $188.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Sake cocktail, you burst the bubble<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Like the decor, the food is designed to be fashionable, luxe. They just go all out, all excess, nothing’s holding them back. No modesty, no subtlety, just bam! from bubble-bursting sake-based cocktail<\/strong> to A5 Kagoshima wagyu<\/strong>. it’s just waves after waves of mouthgasm from rich, expensive Japanese ingredients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

You may think that “that’s not authentic” or “that’s not traditional.” You are wrong. When I commented to the chefs that the sashimi didn’t come with pickled ginger, they said it’s how traditional sashimi is served but they would oblige to give me the ginger if I requested. I went home to look at the photos of fancy traditional Japanese restaurants I have been, I checked about 8 restaurants or so – and it’s true, there isn’t ginger in the sashimi photos. I didn’t realise I missed out on this small detail. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The meal also follows the traditional kaiseki meal structure: the appetizers, sashimi, grilled dish, fried dish and so on. But the food is designed to suit the modern tastebuds. It indubitably aims to please as the following photos show:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Sashimi (uni, otoro, ebi, and that kampachi is the best one I ever had. So umami.) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Chef’s special dish: negitoro, uni, caviar <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Steamed dish: Abalone (It was so pillowy. What a great texture!)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Snow crab leg cooked 3 ways. Not a fan of this dish. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Sushi #1: Ebi sushi covered in prawn paste<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Sushi #2: foie gras & scallop (ok, I know it’s not traditional, but foie gras is nice) <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Sushi 3: Otoro, akami, negitoro, uni, caviar, and gold dust<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Uni, caviar and gold dust<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
I don’t really like A5 wagyu because I find them too fatty with little meat. But this one was awesome. Didn’t feel greasy. Instead it was soft and umami.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"
Didn’t post a photo of the soup dish with many ingredients, not a fan of it. I really prefer just an easy, simple, uncomplicated bowl of miso soup. For desserts, I also really prefer the melon alone. The jelly was extra work and not pleasing. The melon, however, was fantastic – so sweet and burst in the mouth. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I think Kenwa Orenji is a controversial restaurant. Those traditionalists who prefer Japanese sushi restaurants with quiet subtlety will complain Kenwa Orenji has no sense of scale. But for younger, adventurous crowd who just want to experience good food and enjoy a slice of max-out luxe without any philosophy in their food, then yes, Kenwa Orenji is it. Love it or hate it, you can’t deny that Kenwa Orenji has a very strong personality, a rare trait in restaurants these days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
