    Modern Decor, Value for money and delicious set lunch, what more do you want? As usual rule no one, i made a reservation in advance, so no need to wait, the waitress promptly brought us to our cosy seat. The seats here are what i called good seats as compared to Jap Dining Sun. The waitress was polite, and also reminded us to watch the small stairs. At 12.30, it was close to full house. Menu was not as extensive as Waruku or even Jap Dining Sun, but the set lunch menu are really value for money. More than enough to order.

    Chicken Teriyaki & California roll set ($14.80), all the lunch set meal here comes with pickled vege, soup and tea/coffee. The chicken teriyaki place on hot plate was simply good. The california roll is really yummy, not those type you have at Sake sushi. Really nothing to grumble about, mayb more california roll? haha perfect score 5 out of 5

    Sukiyaki & Tomato salad ($17.50) which was beef, vege, egg in hot pot, something like a mini steamboat. Beef was quite good, but very few piece only. Well, cant really expect them to give so much beef like chicken. 4 out of 5

    Overall, nothing to complain about, If you haven been to Sun with Moon, make yr move fast man. I suspect Sun with Moon will become my fav restaurant soon, and i will be visiting them a few times one month at least. lol. Anyway, after paying the bill which comes to $37.65 for two person, they gave me dining coupons for their newly open branch at Central. 15% off food, and 2 free drinks which can be beer, house red/white wine, or soft drink. Confirm guarantee plus chop will use it to try the food at Central soon. I highly recommend you to go to Sun with Moon for its value for money set lunch, mayb not so often for dinner (no set meals more ex), and i think Sun with Moon is better than its sister restaurant Japanese Dining Sun. So Sun with Moon Central next week anyone? Haha

      Had dinner at the Wheelock outlet of Sun with Moon cafe, a sister establishment of Sun Japanese Dining at CHIJMES. From what I know, both establishments have almost the same menu, with the exception of a few more upscale items that only Sun Japanese Dining carries.

      The interior is significantly different from other Japanese restaurants that I've dined at, blending in modern architecture with wooden finishes and dim lighting to give that Zen feel. Nice cosy corner tables are seperated by a semi permeable screen which allow for some degree of privacy (Thats if you are lucky enough to get them).

      Hitokuchi Pork Katsu - Deep Fried Pork Cube - This dish came on the recommendations list and I was all geared up to eat some kick *** pork. Sadly, it didn't quite meet my expectations. The pork was quite decent, chunky and chewy but the deep fried exterior made for a very nauseating experience after a few mouthfuls. Think a souped up version of Pork Katsu. Nothing fanciful to say the least.

      Avocado Soft Shell Roll - As per my writeup on Sun Japanese Dining, the Avocado Soft Shell Roll was good. The rice was a tad sticky and the soft shell crab gave it a slight smoky taste. The generous drizzling of mayonnaise did help as well.

      Ebi Tempura - Now for the bummer. The Ebi Tempura was merely average at best. For starters, the batter was a little too thick and tasteless and so were the prawns. The dipping sauce was bland as well, making the whole dish one big expensive joke ($22). The only saving grace was that the batter wasn't too heavy on the oil.

      Pork Yakisoba - Stir Fried Noodle with Pork - The noodles had a slight burnt taste which went down quite well with me. The servings of pork slices were generous and so were the cuttlefish(?) shavings. A nice mixture of smokiness and saltiness as a whole. A word of caution against eating too much though.

      Tofu Cheese Cake - An intriguing name, a less intriguing taste. No tofu taste whatsoever. Tasted like a lighter (and much smaller) version of the Cheese Cake to me. Decent rendition, coming across as fluffy and light, although a tad too sticky.

      Monaka - Japanese Wafer filled with Sweet Potato, Red Bean & Ice cream - I've learnt that appearances can be deceiving. Such was the case with the Monaka. It looked absolutely tantalizing when I first set my eyes on it. Alas, it was anything but. The wafer tasted like it was made from low quality batter while the red bean came across as rather watery. The sweet potato tasted like red bean (how weird) and the ice cream was your run off the mill kind. Sheer disappointment.

      While I wouldn't say $79 is a lot to pay for Japanese food, its certainly pushing the limits for such an average display of food. I had certainly expected more from this place, given all the good things that I've heard about it. Or maybe its just that I ordered the wrong dishes.
