DOZO Singapore

Classified as a fine modern Japanese cuisine.

Our first dining experience at DOZO was really awesome, everything from the ambience to the food and then the services was above satisfactory!

As we walk into the restaurant, friendly staffs welcome us with warm greetings (quite a number of them as the place were rather big).

I see most people came to enjoy not just their food, but also the wines in store. There's actually a lounge area and also various private rooms in different themes.

The Menu;

(Selection between 6 or 7 course set)

Welcome drinks

All DOZO's service crew seems to be well prepared, they know their Menu really well. Very pro-active and attentive towards their customers. They make the effort to explain to their customers on all dishes and what's best recommended to suit our tastebuds! Most importantly, they were very polite and friendly. It's like they gave their 101% efforts in their job, making sure that their customers eat well, dine well.

1. Starter

Chef's selection of the day;

Super love the scallop!

2. Cold Dish

My Pick: Here's my favourite dish among the rest! The Smoked Duck Breast! Heavenly taste, really!

I love those chilled thin slices of duck meat, so well cooked.

For him: Tuna with Crab Meat comes in a very unique presentation.

3. Side Dish

My Pick: Stewed Beef Tendon with Puff Pastry, the beef is yummy, soft meat with the right amount of layered fats. I love that part! The round ball-like think at the side was actually fried potato, yums again! =D

For him: Foie Gras Chanwanmushi with Black Truffle slice, another special dish!

4. Soup

For him: Infusion of Cepes Mushroom with Truffle. Very nice, i love it!

My Pick: Bacon Infused Pumpkin Soup, not bad but i had tasted a better one from elsewhere.

5. Main

For him: Herb Braised Lamb Shank - Super HUGE piece!

My Pick: Poached Salmon with Edamame-miso dip and butter vegetable!

Personally think it was nicely done, nicely cut. =)

6. Drinks

(Drinks came last, after desserts actually.)

We ordered the Ice Rose Lemon Tea and the Dozo's Mocktail of Love.

We prefers the Ice Rose Lemon Tea than the other, very soothing for the throat.

It also gives off that very aroma rosy smell.

Dozo's Mocktail of Love is a little too sour due to the plum added inside.

7. Desserts

Just when i thought we are done with our dinner and ready to make payments,
the waiter serves out a complimentary birthday cupcake for me so as to celebrate my birthday. The waiter even initiate to sing the birthday song for me. How sweet!
