I thought it was aptly named, this hanabi (fireworks). An explosion of colours and flavours, for a mere S$33++. Ala carte buffet style.
Seriously. Forget fine-dines. Forget kaisekis. Remember to order. Lotsa. And enjoy your favourite dishes to your heart's content. Seriously.
And is there a reason not to? I don't think so.
Afterall, mortality, like a hanabi, is a celebration of life itself. So, why not live gloriously knowing one day, we will be one with them. Them smoke from the fireworks? Ohana-chan smiles.
From the sashimi menu, try the unlimited mix platter of Sashimi Moriawase. With a colourful mix of sake, tako, ika, hamachi and maguro, it did resemble a little hanabi. Followed by another few plates of sakes, maguros and more sakes.
Other popular dishes to consider are the maguro and sake zukes. Both seared and sprinkled with crushed black pepper. The saba shioyaki though tough, was still well flavoured.
And get more of the sashimi.
The ever-patient staffs were wonderful. Perhaps they have been enlightened with the way of life of a hanabi. Sitting nearby the cashier is a good idea as they can get rather busy.
The extensive menu is something to look forward too. On the last count, there were 128 dishes to choose from while desserts are charged separately.
Like many others, the fortunate us had a chance to choose. Both the dishes and destinations that we fancy. That we believe in. And that is a blessing. Make full use of it.
Carpe diem!
And never waste.

yupe, average 9 dishes per person.
i still got some pics but din put up...scary hor? hehehe...
buffets are very good for a group not in a hurry and to appreciate suppose must have supreme patience and strategy, otherwise at the end probably cannot proceed to round 2 , and then round 3 will be touch n go
hahaha
gosh, this post brought me back to the rakuzen in chulan square, happily having buffet with christine n the bunch... >_<
is hanabi the buffet concept?
Wei, you forgot to mention how the waiter used his hand to transfer the fried chicken from one plate to another to clear the plate. LOL. Thanks for bringing me there.
Never waste? Good advice that. With food, and with every moment of life. For once I can stand to look at all your lovely pics without drooling cos I just returned from a huge-ass Japanese dinner.
Damn good.
The only problem? My camera died halfway... Haiya... I shouldn't have taken so many pics of the darn sushi... :P
u expert in capture pic! :) very nice and attraction~ i enjoy to view it~
backstreetgluttons, yes! absolutely agree. like a game of chess (or finding parking in one-utama), a strategy is much needed. eat slow, eat smart and drink only green tea...hehehe
ai wei, i havent tried rakuzen before :( everyone seems to like that place...hmmm, perhaps a visit soon.
yupe, it's buffet. but ala carte buffet. which is good becoz we just sit there and wait to be served ;)
