Juan Bowl & Tea

This Japanese restaurant is quite small, cosy and intimate. This is also reflected in their menu, as there are only four main dishes and two desserts to choose from. There is however, an extensive range of hot and cold traditional teas.

I came for brunch here with 3 other friends so we essentially ordered the whole entire menu except for the Unagi Hitsumabushi bowl (grilled eel). The main dishes were presented so aesthetically well and looked almost like art. Not only did it look fantastic, but it also tasted amazing. My personal favourite was the wagyu bowl – the onsen egg matched perfectly well with the wagyu roasted beef on top of the garlic buttered rice.

As mentioned, there are only two desserts to choose from. Although limited with their sweets, both dishes were delicious. The matcha tiramisu was soft and fluffy with just the right amount of green tea matcha to sweetness ratio. The black sesame warabi mochi was unique but was also very tasty. The drinks weren’t that special in my opinion.

Overall, my dining experience was pleasant and the food was really good. My only suggestion would be to have a few more dishes to extend their limited menu. Other than that, I would still suggest this restaurant and I would still come back.
