The Rise - Omakaase Degustation

Happy moment and lovely foods will just never going to stop in our life, isn't it? ^__^

It is for Erwan's Birthday dinner. His gf has organize this at The Rise and we got invited to join the dinner. The restaurant is located at KingCross, Sydney. It's a degustation restaurant. Normal price per head is AUD60 but they have special price on Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday which is AUD43 per head. Very worth it I would say. Their foods were very well-presented and it has a true fusion of Japanese and European /Asian styles and flavors.

Here are the foods that we have been served:

Appetizer
Tuna tartare, guacamole and witlof salad


Soup
Patato cream soup with oyster tempura & tofu

Sashimi
Assorted today's fresh market sashimi

Seasonal Plate
Steamed baby octopus with "ume" plum vinaigrette
Grilled eel rice paper rolls
Duck and bamboo shoot with "Hoisin" sauce in wonton cup

Pasta dish
Spice prawn, mung bean noodle and yogurt sauce

Main course
Braised pork belly rolled with savoy cabbage, eggplant ragu & gochujang miso sauce

Dessert
Pannacotta with cumquat, bloog orange & pink grapefruit granita

My favorite dish I will say is the dessert. It taste really special!!!
I like the soup as well especially the fried oyster on top. It's very very fresh and my tongue got slightly burn by the juicy oyster. LOL
The sashimi plate are really really fresh too... Ou.. I;m drooling again now XD~~. Haha..ha..
The main did come with the white rice, which is a very good combination with the fatty pork wrapped in the cabbage T__T. Thanks god that they serve rice otherwise I don't think we were full enough especially the boys. Anyway AUD42 for such a great dinner I am satisfied and HAPPY! Will go again if there have any special occasions. ^__^

So the Birthday boy was happy!!!


And everyone did enjoyed the dinner too~
