Advanced Birthday Celebration

We are a weird couple. We celebrate belated V-day but celebrated my birthday in advanced.

We went to a fine dining restaurant named Kumo Japanese Kaiseki this afternoon. It's located at Icon Village which is near to Tanjong Pagar.

Below is the introduction taken from the website:
Each dish is meticulously prepared, paying attention to the finest of detail. The chef is the artist. Using only the freshest ingredients, he creates delightful dishes according to the changing seasons. At KUMO, they present the Spring春,Summer夏, Autumn秋, Winter冬 menus of Osaka to sunny Singapore.

Each meal is a story with seven chapters. Opening with Zensai前菜, it develops with Wanmori椀盛,and Sashimi刺身,climaxes at Yakimono焼き物 and Takiawase煮物 and concludes with Gohan御飯,and Deza-toデザート,Each chapter is thoughtfully served at the appropriate pace, and some are presented with an element of surprise.

Hubby ordered the Lunch Kaiseki.

Zensai前菜 (Appetizer): Assorted 3 appetizers of the day.
Seriously we have no idea what are we eating.
