The restaurant, called Hanazen, is opened by the Japanese chef-owner of two-Michelin-starred restaurant La Cime in Osaka.
Getting to Japanese chef Yusuke Takada’s tiny restaurant, La Cime, in Osaka requires considerable effort. The 20-seater with two Michelin stars is currently sixth on Asia’s 50 Best Restaurants list, which means it is often fully booked in advance.
He had already sampled our island’s well-loved cuisines, from bak kut teh to Teochew-style steamed fish with rice which fascinated him. On another trip here last month, he discovered kaya, and brought it back to Osaka with him to use at La Cime . “I made bread-flavoured ice cream and put kaya jam on top so it is like a version of kaya toast,” he told us.
Inspired again by kaya toast , we were instructed to drop a delicate piece of bread tuile topped with caviar and rapeseed buds into a glass of pandan-flavoured flan served on ice. You will be cursed out if you ask for this high SES kaya toast at Ya Kun, but this is one dish that is both tasty and entertaining.The bulk of the 16-course omakase meal featured yakitori. Chef Takada serves all parts of the bird here, from skin to meat to innards.
