hakata japanese restaurant imagine the power of words. immediately after uploading my previous post, my mum asked me to shut down my computer because she was taking the whole family out to dinner! so i hurriedly closed my windows and out we went.  we tried a newly opened japanese restaurant at jurong superbowl. it's only accessible by car. if you were to take the bus, i'm sure there are a few; it wouldn't be very convenient though.   the restaurant was brightly lit and had its own sashimi bar. it was relatively empty when we got there but tables were filled as we left.  kajiki and salmon sashimi, $30. didn't feel that the salmon was fresh at all. very fishy taste. i didn't have the kajiki but my sis was complaining about the cut of the fish. according to her, there was too much "geng."  chicken wings, $8. this has gotta be one of the most expensive and tiny wings i've ever had. five measly wings for eight bucks? i could have enjoyed a filling three course meal at a food court. the wings were crispy but tasteless.  my sis ordered prawn tempura with cold soba. she loved the prawns and so did my dad. the noodles weren't fantastic but they weren't bad either.  beef teppanyaki, $18. it was an additional $5 for a set, which included rice, soup and a slice of watermelon. the beef was also average and a bit tough. was good with both sauces. one of them actually tasted like chicken rice chilli; didn't know they have that in japan.  my dad's inari. the presentation was horrible. the beancurd skin was broken (i turned that side away when i took the picture).  chawanmushi, $5. poorly put together. the egg was "holey" and rather hard. looked more like the steamed egg you find in mixed vegetable rice stalls.  last but not least, the pork fillet curry rice, $12. the curry was good! i didn't expect the pork to be fried cutlet-style since they have pork cutlet curry rice on the menu. however, it was delicious when dunked into the thick gravy. overall, i would say the experience at hakata was mediocre. the restaurant wasn't started by a japanese and it was pretty obvious. you can get better japanese food at kotobuki, an authentic japanese restaurant, which is located just down the block.
