Who knew FROZEN food could taste THIS GOOD 🤤

Went to JAPAN RAIL CAFE for a private food tasting event for lunch today, and got to try out SEVEN dishes from Michelin star restaurants in Japan. It was definitely an amazing culinary experience. 🤤

Have you heard of Mitaseru? 💌 Mitaseru is a gourmet service in Japan that delivers perfectly frozen meals from restaurants to homes so customers can enjoy restaurant-quality dishes in the comfort of their homes, and we will get to experience this in Singapore FOR THE FIRST TIME at Japan Rail Cafe (and soon our homes). 🔥

The seven dishes that we got to try today were all delicious and I couldn’t believe that they were frozen. (Very different from the usual frozen ready meals from FairPrice or Yolo foods - btw Yolo Foods frozen meals’ texture sux 😣). The texture of each dish / ingredient tastes exactly as though they are made fresh. It is also unique flavours like I couldn’t have come up with these myself. And usually Michelin star restaurants are quite expensive but until the end of September or October (Sorry I got distracted so wasn’t listening carefully 🫣), we can taste these dishes at JAPAN RAIL CAFE at affordable rates, up to SGD 25++ per dish (all mains would come with rice etc.)

You can see the names of the restaurants in white in the photos! These are actual restaurants in Japan.

I left a ⭐️ on my favourite dishes in the sampling menu. If you don’t eat spicy foods like me, you’d enjoy the sambal shrimp, because it’s not spicy at all! 🤪 Instead, the sauce is lightly sweetened with hints of lemongrass. Very fragrant. Portion is a bit small as they only gave 5 shrimps per set. But okay la, can watch cholesterol level. 😂

The bouillabaisse is the most expensive dish on the menu at SGD 25++ but it’s also the biggest portion, and served with rice so I think quite worth it. There are many ingredients inside like (boneless) sea bream, clams, mussels, and shrimps. 🔥

Overall, I absolutely love the desserts - both the sweet potato pastry and chocolate terrine (gluten-free if you care about this!). They are quite sweet so perfect for sharing to end the meal. 🤤
