Hanabi was disappointing

After much hype about Hanabi, I was sorely disappointed. This Japanese restaurant was reviewed twice by the newspapers and received lotsa accolades. Perhaps the ala-carte menu had better offering than the buffet menu. The buffet menu has 99 items. Most of the items have similar stuffing but in different forms. You get salmon temaki/maki/sushi. Get the idea? Just repeating food. The highlight is only the sashimi-hamachi, cuttlefish, octopus, salmon, maguro. I love sashimi. Yum yum.

The chawan mushi is too much egg n no fillings. Aiyoh. Save until like that. To think i paid 38 bucks for this meal!!! Definitely not worth it. Go Kuishin bo better. At least Kuishin bo is cheaper on ladies' nite and there are hourly specials with stampedes. So exciting. This Hanabi does not even serve desserts on the buffet menu. For me, desserts are a plus. Gals always have space for sweet stuff. (we ended up in New York New York for desserts. The gals initially wanted real desserts like ice-cream, pastries etc. But we all ended up having drinks. And i kept complaining about their normal-looking cups. Thought the drinks would come in a gigantic cup.)

Please dun go hanabi lah. Go Kuishin bo with me next time.
