Sun with Moon Japanese Dining and Cafe

This day we went with my uncles who are also very in love with luxury dining to the extent of visiting restaurants every week end. Once, we went "Top of the M" and spent about $200 per set meal for each of the four of us! That was so unbelievable for us who only earn measly salaries.

Initially we thought the reservation at Sun with Moon was for only the few of us. But when we reached there, we saw all other relatives. However, 16 was already far too many people for their indoor seating area and we almost filled the entire place. We later found out that the reservation was made on the condition that we order at least $50 per person! Needless to say, that bill was easily over $800 (which of course is still cheaper than "Top of the M").

Nevertheless, it was not that difficult to order $50 per person. I last read a review that commented on the limited choice they offer though there were protestors as well. But now we sort of understand that it was the prices that drove us into the corner because the depicted photographs certainly don't look very value-for-money. In fact I would describe the menu as creative and exotic. Imagine fried fish BONES costs $12.90 (as I recalled correctly/incorrectly). So they charged restaurant prices when they don't (I would say) fit the restaurant category (they call themselves "cafe").

We had A LOT of food, but we ony managed to take a few because the rest behaved like scavengers leaving us no chance to shoot! So here are the remnants:

This sashimi platter occupied a full page on the menu, and fortunately it lived up to expectations.

See what I mean by "creative". I don't understand - the cage is completely pointless! Furthermore, it's broken! I hope it's an intentional
"design", otherwise, they had better buy more cages! But, cage aside, the tofu cheese cake itself is really nice!

Nothing more, just yet another [tiny] waffle plus ice cream.

Buckwheat crepe! Yucks! We don't know about you but we really don't like buckwheat and we totally regretted it. Should have ordered more tofu cheese cake!
