Came here for lunch after doing a bit of morning yoga and before heading for work. I had walked by this place many times but always ended up going to the other restaurants in this building. Today, I decided to come here.Jaga Dining Room is a celebrity owned restaurant serving Japanese food. This celebrity is 2010 Miss Hong Kong Toby Chan. That probably explains the dozens of Polaroid photos of celebrities (I guess her friends) taped to the front of the restaurant. I had no idea who Toby Chan wa
Jaga Dining Room is a celebrity owned restaurant serving Japanese food. This celebrity is 2010 Miss Hong Kong Toby Chan. That probably explains the dozens of Polaroid photos of celebrities (I guess her friends) taped to the front of the restaurant. I had no idea who Toby Chan was and Googled her when I got home. I still have no idea who she is.
The restaurant is strange. One one side it was bright and looked like a typical Western restaurant. The other side was dark and looked like a bar. I was not too keen on this set up as I found it cheap and tacky in a very MK upstairs cafe feel, minus the board games.
They had a daily lunch set that cost $68 or you could choose from the other lunch sets that ranged from $88 - $300. Not expensive at all. All sets came with a salad, appetizer, chawanmushi, miso soup and dessert.
As today's $68 lunch was some strange kimchi fried rice thing, I opted for another choice from their lunch menu. Teppanyaki ox tongue with rice for $98.
Salad and appetizer came as soon as I placed my order. Obviously, it's been prepared ahead of time. The salad was some lettuce, a cherry tomato and some canned corn with yuzi salad dressing. It was pretty average.
The appetizer was a few slices of konnayku and tofu puffs in soy sauce. It was too salty as it was just marinated in soy sauce.
Miso soup came immediately as well. It was just watered down miso with some tofu puffs. Nothing to write home about.
Teppanyaki ox tongue was tasty. I liked the sauce as it was sweet. The onions nicely caramelized. The sauce, I noted, had some enoki mushrooms in it as well. The tongue was soft and well grilled. However, the rice was digusting. I rarely write about the rice but this rice was horrible. It was soggy and all clumped together. Like they had added too much water to the rice in the rice cooker. It was just mushy.
Daily dessert was a brown sugar pudding. This was sweet and ok. I think I just like anything pudding in texture.
My chawanmushi which came with the lunch sets never came even though I enquired about it. The staff said they would look into it but ... it just never came. I gave up anyways as I was full and the food was below average, I didn't want to it anyways.The place was also noisy. It wasn't full but for some odd reason, the noise of people talking was so loud, I got kind of annoyed. Combined with the mediocre food, I won't return.
