Dozo!~
It was a Sunday.
After some shopping at Orchard Road, a starving XH and I headed down to Valley Point Shopping Center where our modern Japanese fine dining fusion dinner awaits!
The restaurant felt welcoming and excluded a posh-like demeanor as we strolled along the darkly carpeted floor way, pass the private function lounges. Mini chandeliers hung over the ceilings amidst the plush cushioned seats.
We were led to our dinning space at a cozy corner just beside the length of the window. Our view was further enhanced by a set of beautiful multi-changing lights.
XH was enchanted by the lights that was constantly changing its look.
The servers were really cautious whenever they came out with a new set of dish because according to them, this pretty thing costs a few thousand bucks.
In the midst of change! I must say the photos did not do justice. You must see the lights for yourself.
And then our 7 course meal began!
Mango sorbet served with a gorgeous touché on a bed of crushed ice, orchids and baby's breath.
For starters, we had the Chef seasonal assorted platter.
Salmon topped with cream and caviar, scallop drizzled with bubbly delicious sauce and foie gras from the left respectively.
The cold dish was up next.
I had the smoked duck breast on bed of greens with cranberry vanetta.
Just in case you were wondering what that big round thing is, its papadum! The waiter was really amusing when he served this dish. He assured me that we were still in a Japanese restaurant and not an Indian one because there was papadum and he is Indian. Haha.
XH went for the succulent king crab claw salad drizzled with sesame vinaigrette (I forgot to turn my flash on for this shot, that's why it looked too dark)
As for the side dish, we had......
Tempura battered soft shell crab on galette of mash (forgot about the flash again!)
Steamed egg custard with scallop and foie gras topped with caviar which tasted oh-so-smooth!
And then it was time for some soup!
The seafood bisque, accompanied by the very claw that was used to extract its unique taste.
This one is called Infusion of cepes, mushroom and truffle. (yeah, that tiny black thingy on the spoon is the truffle)
Without further anticipation, our main course arrived!
She thoroughly enjoyed her beef tenderloin with ‘pu-ye’ and granite hotstone.
Here’s how it looked like from the dinner’s point of view.
My baked Atlantic cod fillet with miso cream cappuccino was delicious and really fresh.
Following that, we had some refreshing fruity cooler tea.
We finished everything in the pot up to the last bite cause there were pieces of fruit inside.
Finally! Desert time!
The crispy fried purple yam cake with ice cream looked kinda cute.
Dozo’s green tea crème brulee tasted like green tea. Haha.
But they were both no match for the freshly baked warm chocolate cake served with ice cream! Which oozes warm chololate fudge that flowed like hot lava as you slice it open. Hmmm...
Then, came a plesant surprise because they found out that we were here to celebrated my belated birthday.
Especially for moi! With a boat of sesame ice cream.
Here's how my credit card looked like that evening. Haha.
Dinner was great and the overall dinning experience was a 2 thumbs up.
Presentation was excellent, I mean, look at the effort and pride they put into their food!
Ambience was really inviting, very suitable for dating couples.
I'll be free for a treat if anyone who is interested to dine at Dozo can't find their way there. I'll provide transportation services to and fro from your doorstep.
For enquiries, do not hesitate to call me (extremely interested applicants only).
