The restaurant itself is actually quite small, there were
probably only about 12 tables in the front, but it turns out they have another
section with additional seating. They would need it too – the place was so
busy, with both reservations and walk in groups coming in for dinner.
E knew exactly what he was going to order, so I decided to
focus on some basic favourites of mine in Japanese restaurants. E ordered the Chirashi
and a Seaweed salad, and I ordered some Gyoza and a regular Sashimi plate.
The service was fantastic throughout the night – our meals
came out super quickly, and the staff were very friendly and polite. The cold
dishes came out within a few minutes of each other after we had ordered. We had
a table that was close to the two gentlemen preparing the Sushi & Sashimi
dishes, so I was able to watch them carefully, and very nimbly sculpt the fresh
pieces of fish into perfect rose shapes. It was mesmerising!
The seaweed salad was so tasty – I don’t think I have ever
tasted it before, which surprised E very much. It had a really nice flavour –
so fresh – and no hint of bitterness at all. I really loved the consistency of
the seaweed – it was solid yet almost gelatinous, and kept me entertained like
a little girl! The colour was also fantastic! So green! I love green :D

My little sashimi plate was so cute and delicately laid out
onto the plate. I felt I needed to be respectful to the salmon, so I unravelled
it from its rose ever so slowly, a petal at a time. All of the sashimi was
incredibly fresh, and melted in my mouth. It was so tender and just plain
amazing – it reminded me why I loved sashimi!

The Gyoza had a really great taste, I couldn’t quite put my
finger on it, but it was something different and more delicious than your
average gyoza dumpling. The skin/wrapper of each was so delicate, you can see
in the photo, a little bit of one had been ripped. I felt sorry for that little
dumpling so I ate it first! Om nom nom. The rest of them didn’t have too long
to wait either!

E’s Chiarashi bowl had a really great mix of sashimi, served
on sushi rice. Yum! He really enjoyed this, and it was also pretty good value!
I tasted one of his prawns and it was just as good as I was expecting. E was
really impressed with the immaculate presentation of his dish, and in awe of
the chef’s knife skills, cutting up each tasty morcel perfectly.

If we go back to Shyun, I would love to taste the black
sesame icecream for dessert. E and I will probably be back for more goodness,
armed with some friends so we can try out even more food!
