August 26, 2007: I went to Sun with Moon Restaurant, Wheelock Place, Orchard Road,
for my first lunch at this restaurant. Previously I'd dinner and tea.
Sun with Moon is synonymous with a great variety of desserts, evident from its colorful wall-paper of alluring Japanese beans and mochi spread across its exteriors.
The mellowed interior calms you down immediately with a lot of wood and a long panel of glass that reveals a contrasting scene of heady traffic and crowd at the junction of Boulevard and Orchard. Further there is some greenery bordering the Paterson slope. The dimness of the restaurant captures the Christmas mood perfectly when all the decorative trees in the room are also sprayed white.
I ordered a tempura and salmon sashimi set, priced at SGD 17.80-which is cheaper than many others on Orchard Road. The evidently careful matching of crockery is really a plus.
A. ordered his unagi don (eel on rice), naberyouri (hot pot dish) and nikujaga (simmered meat with potatoes) set, tagged at SGD 16.80.
The lunch crowd is there because of such prices? I wonder... Tea is great: Order a dessert and add one or two dollars for coffee or tea - which were good. The mango parfait is highly recommended. A fragrant green apple Japanese tea may just make it divine.
At the end, what would I say about this meal? A simple taste "SWEET" predominated - except for the sashimi.
Sticking to its signature dishes (e.g. kamameshi) and desserts is probably the safest bet (see my earlier entries "Sun with Moon Japanese Dining and Cafe").
