| Foie Gras Truffle Yakiniku |
Tanuki Raw is a combination of playful
Japanese cuisine with no-holds-barred American Street Food. With these concepts
in mind, Tanuki Raw present creations that is unique, modern and unbelievably flavourful.
LD and I visited the location at the
National Design Centre. This restaurant occupied the same open space as the Kapok,
a lifestyle select store originated in Hong Kong focusing on all things related
to design.

We started with Raw Oyster ($30
for half dozen). It is plump, briny and juicy. A quick check with the service
staff, we found out that the oysters are from New Zealand.

Foie Gras
Truffle Yakiniku ($19, +$2 for Lunch Set). The plating is definitely awesome.
The toppings of sliced Black Angus short ribs, Pan Seared foie gras and onsen
egg filled the bowl to the brim.

The foie gras is nicely executed.
Crisp externally, follow with soft, creamy and velvety texture internally. The sliced
ribs are tender and succulent, with tangy sauce drizzle on top of it. Meanwhile,
the onsen egg combines all the ingredients nicely with solid flavourful rice. They
also served Japanese pickle to balance the richness in this dish. Yum Yum, Two
Thumbs Up.

The additional $2 to make it a lunch
set is definitely worth it. You get a small bowl of refreshing salad, miso soup
and cold green tea.

Chirashi
NDC ($21, +2 for Lunch Set). The harvest of the sea in a bowl. Generous
load of ingredients, tuna, salmon, hamachi, snow crab, negitoro, spicy salmon,
ikura and tamago. The seafood is fresh and the quantity is actually enough to
make two chirashi bowl, those popping ikura will definitely overwhelm you in
each bite of your bowl your meal. Amazing.

Truffle
Nagano Pork Spam Fries ($13.90). Unfortunately, this dish is a let-down. The
spam fries are lumpy, together with the sauce the saltiness is just over the
top. Definitely, need to cut down on the mayo and make the spam fries crispy.

The restaurant is spacious and
the open concept in sync with the name of the building. The transition between
Kapok and Tanuki Raw is just seamless. Service is friendly and efficient.
Overall, the donburi here is just
amazing. The ingredients are of good quality, fresh and generous. Definitely
worth a visit and soaks up the atmosphere. Cheers!!
