Konnichiwa all you Japanese food lovers! Last October, City Garden Grand Hotel’s Spice Café launched new and exciting dishes on their menu that will brought us one authentic Asian dining experience. The Spice Café introduced to us their new Japanese Ala Carte menu served all-day at the Spice Café.

City Garden Grand Hotel’s Sous Chef Dennis Tuazon was delighted to have prepared for us dishes from their all-new Japanese Ala Carte Menu. The new menu is a fresh take on Japan’s most beloved dishes and delicacies. With Chef Tuazon and the hotel, they assure the foreign and domestic travellers of an authentic taste and top-level quality of the Japanese food.

Chef Tuazon and his chefs prepared demonstrations on some of the dishes in their new Japanese menu.

First was the maki, which is usually a sushi with vegetables or fruits and wrapped in seaweed sheet then rolled with Japanese rice. There are so many variations available in their menu but we were treated to a demo of their Unagi Maki, Crazy Maki and Tempura Maki.

Next demonstration was for a homemade Chicken Gyoza Soba Noodle Soup. It is nice to know that Spice Café makes both freshly made gyoza and soba noodles in their kitchen which makes their noodle soup more sumptuous.

Another demonstration was for one of my favorite japanese noodle dishes, the yakisoba!

The last demonstration was for the Tori Chahan Fried Rice over the Teppanyaki hot plate and the most exciting part was that the chef showed off some skills by juggling the utensils, throwing them in the air and then catching them again but sorry I had no pictures only a video of his amazing show.

After the demonstrations we were served some of the other delectable dishes on the Japanese menu:

The Japanese offer of Spice Café also comes with set meals of Tempura, Katsu, and Teriyaki. All set meals are composed of Miso soup, Japanese Rice, and Stir Fried Vegetables so come and visit them now.
