Set lunch @ Ri-Yakitori, St Giles The Gardens - Grand Hotel & Residences KL

From 16 October 2015 onwards, Ri-Yakitori in St Giles The Gardens - Grand Hotel & Residences will be offering lunch on Fridays. During this lunch period, the chefs at Ri-Yakitori have created a special Kozara Ryori set lunch menu. The set consists of 7 courses and is priced at RM78 nett per set. According to the chefs, the menu will be changed on a weekly basis so that patrons can try something new every week.

Last week, we were invited to a preview of this promotion. The menu highlights a combination of Japanese and Western creations. To start, we were served a trio of appetizers; the platter consisted of sakura ebi, chicken roll wrapped in Chinese cabbage and tomato mozzarella, the latter being an Italian creation. 

My favorite dish of the afternoon is the sashimi salada, which consists of salmon and tuna (maguro) sashimi with ebikko and mayo. Ebikko gives the salad a nice crunch and the Japanese vinaigrette dressing was appetizing.

The dishes on this Kozara Ryori set are served course by course. Next, we were served the braised radish with saba (mackarel) fish. The fish has been deep fried so it's crispy, and then topped on a piece of braised radish as well as Hatcho miso.

Ri-Yakitori is popular for its chicken skewers in the evening, and one of the dishes featured in the set lunch is the sauteed chicken served with 3 different dips. The thigh was the most moist and nicest part of chicken to eat. This reminded me slightly of the Chinese poached chicken dish. After the chicken dish, we were served an edamame gohan (rice) with pickles and osumashi soup.

The dessert set comprises of a fruit compote (strawberry, kiwi, orange juice), matcha mochi and chocolate mousse.
