45 minutes at Keria

Keria Japanese Restaurant, Cuppage Plaza

Why was this post titled 45 minutes at Keria? Because we came by without reservations and they had two seats for us if we could finish up in 45 minutes for their next reservation.

Keria Japanese Restaurant, otoshi

Today's otoshi was okura topped with a mixture of tororo and uni. So vibrant yellow.

Keria Japanese Restaurant, mentaiko cabbage

If you've been following my Keria trail, you'd know what this is. A plate of umami wok hei.

Keria Japanese Restaurant, uni don

There was a promo for uni items so those were going for less than what they normally charge. So we got ourselves uni don. Umai.

Keria Japanese Restaurant, gyutan

Thinly sliced gyutan stir fried with negi. Savoury and delicious as well.

Keria Japanese Restaurant, fried oysters

Fried oysters are on the menu. You know it. These were fat, creamy and piping hot sealed inside the fried crisp batter. Nice.

Keria Japanese Restaurant, natto ume shiso

I'm ready for natto so we ordered natto tempura (left). Natto doesn't taste bad if you asked me. If you asked me more, I think there is something like coffee about them. Those rolls on the right were sardines with ume rolled with shiso and fried. Pretty fruity ume there.

Keria Japanese Restaurant, coffee jelly

We didn't order desserts but they gave us coffee jelly on the house as a form of apology for having to rush us. In the end, we even got additional 10 minutes because the next person was late.
