New Years Eve and I was headed for work later that evening. So, what was I to do? Why have a great lunch by myself before heading off to work. Because my last lunch of the old year had to be grand! So, I came here. Kani Kei serves all things crab. It's a Japanese restaurant that had opened recently and is located right next to Sogo.During lunch time, they have lunch sets a long with a la carte. Menu is in English and Chinese. All lunch sets come with crab salad, three appetizers, tempura crab
Kani Kei serves all things crab. It's a Japanese restaurant that had opened recently and is located right next to Sogo.
During lunch time, they have lunch sets a long with a la carte. Menu is in English and Chinese. All lunch sets come with crab salad, three appetizers, tempura crab or hairy crab, steamed egg custard, pickles, miso soup and rice or udon.
I chose the crab and sashimi sushi bowl set ($298). Yeah, a lot of dishes so let's break it down.
The appetizers from left to right was fermented beans, salmon salad roll, matcha tofu and cockles. Each were fine but nothing truly stood out. The match tofu was a bit grainy.
Crab salad was some bits of crab placed on top of salad greens. It was fresh and there was a light yuzu type dressing that went well.
Hairy crab was fresh and easy to get at the meat as it was pre-cracked for you. Not much flavor so it helped to dip it in the dipping sauce.
Chawanmushi had crab and roe on top. There was quite a bit of crab. But the egg was a bit too watery in texture.
Three little plates from left to right: crab fat, seaweed in yuzu and soysauce dipping sauce for the crab. It's nice they gave you some of the crab fat as that was gold. All the flavor of the crab was there and what was missing from the hairy crab meat.
Miso soup had no crab in it. That was a bit disappointing n it was just normal every day miso soup. Nothing spectacular about it.
Crab and sashimi sushi bowl was not a big size but it was the perfect size after all the mini dishes I went through. The crab was just layered on top and was sweet as they used snow crab here. There was also sea urchin and more roe.
A dessert was provided at the end and this was warabimochi. Soft and chewy and a decent end to the meal.
If you want all crab, this is the place for you. Lunch is a decent price for the amount of crab you get and that fit my purpose for my last grand lunch before the new year arrives. Food was decent but not spectacular. Service was nice and seating is spacious. May be back.
