Drinking Tea Eating Rice

SETTING

The restaurant is decked up in contemporary style with mostly earth-tone hues that are easy on the eyes. A long sushi bar offers diners fresh, chunky pieces of sashimi and sushi.

FOOD

Despite the long moniker that makes one wonder if it serves fusion cuisine, DTER actually woks up traditional Japanese fare. The menu is extensive and, for ease of selection, is classified into different sections such as matsuzaka beef, full-course menu, a la carte, fish and seafood, vegetables, starters, delicacies, healthy dishes, liquid essence (soup), sashimi, sushi, flame charred, poached, fried, rice and noodles, hot pot and desserts. To sample a little bit of different things, kuchidori moriawase offers an assortment of six delicacies featuring appetisers such as delicious deep-fried Japanese whitebait fish and seaweed salad. Sanshina is another appetiser offering three assortments of sashimi that is much appreciated with big chunks of fresh salmon, yellow tail and tuna pieces. The winning dish is kobe beef sirloin teppanyaki. Tender, juicy and most flavourful, the beef comes with accompanying stir-fried vegetables and three different sauces. A rare dish for Japanese cuisine that is on the menu is foie gras teppanyaki. A selection of seasonal fish is also available.
