HC got free tickets to the movie, Good Kill, and she invited me (her backup friend) after her cousin refused to accompany her.
After the show, we went for a late dinner at Sumiya, located at the highest floor of Orchard Central.

Sashimi Platter
We had ordered the 3 Kinds of Sashimi Platter, but what was served to us was 2 pieces each of 6 different kinds. Apparently the restaurant always serves 6 types of sashimi to give customers a pleasant surprise. Though a touch gimmicky, I must admit we were excited when the platter was first brought to us. The fresh sashimi was artfully arranged on a bed of ice and served with freshly grated wasabi.
Foil-grilled Sweet Potato with Butter
HC picked out this dish from the menu and it was also her favourite out of everything we ordered. Japanese purple sweet potato are cut into inch-long pieces, seasoned with butter, wrapped in aluminium foil and grilled. The mildly salted butter brought out the natural sweetness of the satsuma-imo.
Grilled Yellowtail Collar
I thought this was meh. The crispy grilled skin was not too bad, but the flesh itself was a tad dry.
Can Can Mushi (10 Prawns)
This was my favourite! 10 fresh prawns are steamed in a delightful Japanese sake and dashi broth. HC was kind enough to split the good stuff 60-40, which meant I got to eat more of what I love.
Grilled Butter Mochi
We ended the meal with Grilled Butter Mochi as dessert and this was also yummy. It was served to us fresh off the grill, all warm and chewy. I could have easily ate a few more of these.
I would love to return again to try out more items on the extensive menu. The prices on the dinner menu are slightly steep, but I was told that the place does amazing lunch sets at affordable prices.
