This place was recommended by my colleague whom is a vegetarian. Prior to this, I'd usually think of Elemen, if we are looking for a vegetarian restaurant.
The restaurant is inside Fortune Center, and pretty easy to find. The shop was smaller in size than anticipated.

| almost all tables have a 'Reserved' tag |
We were dining on a Saturday evening, and hence reservation is a must. The place was bustling! Trays after trays of food were being sent out from the kitchen and looks like bento was commonly ordered amongst the diners.

Although we weren't inform of the time limitation when making reservation, there was a small signage inside the restaurant that indicated so. If I remembered correctly, each table was limited to a 75 minutes dining during peak hours.
Ordering was easy via the order pad placed on each table. I ordered a drink and will eat whatever that my colleagues had ordered prior to my arrival (sorry, I was the last to arrive!).

| Tonkatsu bento @$22 |
 |
| Teriyaki Chicken bento @$22 |
The bento seemed to have the same side dishes and dessert, hence the only difference was in its 'main'. From the bento sets, I prefer the tonkatsu more than the teriyaki chicken. Reason being, there was some herb taste with the teriyaki chicken and I didn't like that.
Other than that, the nicest side dish was the donut looking thingy that tasted almost like a 'squid' ring, Pretty yums.

| fried rings (at the back) was yummy |
The fresh springroll was rather healthy tasting. Loved that there's a small side dish of salad as well.

The sauce/dressing seemed to be soy/sesame predominantly. There was one small side dish that consisted of beancurd skin and that came with spicy sauce.
 |
| hot pot |
Not sure which hotpot my colleagues ordered as it looked like the tofu and yasai hotpot, but it came with 'pork belly' and that was an eye opener. Really tasty and the texture was almost similar to the 'real' thing. It amuses me every time!
However, the most recommended item were the unagi maki and the mushroom cheese.

First impression of the mushroom cheese? Wow, it was really a flavour burst! And, by far the most salty amongst the rest of the items that I had tried that night.
 |
| Unagi Maki @$14 |
I liked the unagi maki the best! Balanced flavours and best tasting. Lovely!

We spent about $35 per pax for a meal here.
