My girl friends Jenny and Justine often rave about their weekend brunch visits at Kingyo. This is how much they love it – they are on a first name basis with most of the servers there! I finally made it there with them on Saturday. <\/p>\n

But first I should clarify, they have the same lunch menu everyday.<\/p>\n

It was almost 1:30pm and we were starving. Thank goodness we did not have to wait very long to get a table, although the restaurant was fully packed.<\/p>\n

Bringing  a small hangover to your Saturday brunch, nothing is better than starting with a cup of genmai tea. The green liquid was so soothing and refreshing!<\/p>\n

How could we Uni lovers resist the Uni special (3 pieces for $9) on the daily fresh sheet? After we carefully savoured it, Jenny commented that it was probably the best uni she had ever had! It was just simply divine. <\/p>\n

Justine’s Tuna Steak Tororo Bowl ($10.80) was packed with quality ingredients presented beautifully. I stole a piece of her tuna and the fish was cooked perfectly. And it is said to be served with premium Koshihitari rice. I wonder if the rice is cultivated in Japan, which would make it even more special.<\/p>\n

My Tonkatsu combo buy clonazepam 2mg online <\/a> (.80) was served on a large tray, looking quite extravaganza with all 6 pieces of chinaware, and the pork resting on a small rack. As a big fan of Tonkatsu, I was super excited. The pork cutlet was cooked nicely and it was moist and juicy inside, showing some mad skills on frying this piece of bad boy. However, there is a great amount of salt in the 2 dipping sauces (for the pork and the side cabbage salad) and the miso soup. So one must take it for consideration if one cannot handle salty dishes.<\/p>\n

Jenny’s Negitoro Avaocado Bowl ($9.80) was the opposite of my dish – everything tasted quite subtle, and I believed she used the word ‘bland’. <\/p>\n

We also could not resist sharing an order of their popular dessert, Kyoto Style Green Tea Br\u00fbl\u00e9e ($6.80). Although, it was only a couple bites each, but it was a perfect amount to end the meal. <\/p>\n

The overall experience was quite enjoyable, and I could see why their weekend lunch is so popular. Those dishes definitely have good values, and they provide a different experience from the typical egg and bacon brunch fare. <\/p>\n
