Matsukiya 松喜屋 (Paragon)

High end version of Sushi Tei next door, although lower quality than top Japanese establishments. The izakaya skewers are pretty good, albeit not as big a selection as Shunjuu in Robertson Quay. We had the $38++ set (good value) and the $75++ (plus $16 if you want foie gras) (a bit overpriced). The food is ok, although the truffle essence in the chawanmushi is too overwhelming and the miso soup too salty. Maybe more a 3.5 than a 4 (out of 5).

Pork lean to fats ratio was good however once the dish starts to cool down, the meat became extremely tough and dry. The sauce was well seasoned and went well with the pork. Highly recommend to eat this while it’s still hot.

This was a bit of a disappointment as the beef tongue was dry and tough. The beansprouts was nice though as it had a slightly charred taste to it. The beansprouts eaten together with the beef tongue did help with the dryness of the beef. If you really want to try gyu tan, I recommend the skewer instead.

For the price, I would recommend to skip. It came with 4 pieces of cod fish which was overly seasoned and nothing special about it. I’ll not recommend this unless you’ve the spare money and don’t mind the measly portion.
