Time: 7:30pm - 10:30 pm
Venue: Shiki Restaurant 四季, Hyatt Hotel

There were 2 different dinner sets of Teppanyaki ordered; Irodori and Mai.
Let's start with the Appetiser(s)

"Set Irodori on the left" "Set Mai on the right"









Marinated Atlantic Salmon SA Prawns and Scallops Japanses Seaweed Salad
(What marination?? with lemon I guess, basic sashimi... hahaha.... the prawns and scallops are fresh with a nice layer of mayo.... )










Kakiage-Prawn & Vege Deep Fried Chicken
(hmmm..... prawn & vege taste like normal tempura.... on the other hand, the deep fried chicken is very tasty, taste like 盐酥鸡... yum!!!)

Dobin Mushi - Woah!!! Fantastic soup!!!!!There are of course 2 of them, but 1 picture is needed only.....
Sensory tasting: the soup has is a Bonito based soup, with prawns, tofu, 白果, chicken pieces and some greens.......

(Don't mind the blurry picture, I have shaky hands... hahaha)




This is not included in the dinner set BUT I love to eat it, that's why it's on my menu(cawamushi..... steam egg)

haha There is something in that egg that's different from other steam eggs I had.... can't put my finger on it....
Sensory tasting: prawns, fish, mushroom, chicken and 白果.. of course the obvious eggs... hahaha)



Main course!!
Then the chef allowed us to share the main course dishes..
Moreton Bay Bugs on the left and SA Oysters.... very fresh as well, and tasty (Wei, yes I don't think I'm cut out to be a food critic!!!hahaha no words to express the food in details)



Herb steak on the left and green peppercorn steak on the right
The herb steak is mushrooms wrapped in thin sliced beef...
The green peppercorn steak was cooked medium rare!!! very juicy!!!



Nah, I didn't take any pictures of the seasonal vegetables, fried rice and fried noodles, miso soup and pickles.... those are quite quite common......... =)
