My 'Food' Buddy called me up and ask me to try out this place that she is going to bring me which offers good japanese food. As She has been travelling to Japan almost every year, I trust her taste.

When reach the place, the ambience of the place is like a 4-5* Hotel interior decor. Nicely set up. More to fine-dinning. All the staffs were very friendly. They even have a open concept kitchen.

Tried the ramen from the Hokkaido fair menu. As i am not very into Japanese cusinie; I leave it to my buddy to order for me.

The ramen was out of the world; the soup base is very much superb. Very different from the normal ramen from Aijisen.

I would think that it offers traditional Japanese Cusinie. Worth re-visiting for sure.

I have not yet discovered a place where they serve the same variety and quality of Japanese style desserts as Sun with Moon does. This is what makes me go back to this restaurant again and again. I was never impressed by their food selection, so I prefer to patronise this restaurant for sinful afternoon desserts.
This branch of the 'Sun dining' chain of restaurants is located on the 3rd floor of Wheelock Place. Their Japanese desserts, drinks and cocktails menu has a wider variety compared to the other branches.

Their vitamin cocktails are a mix of fruit juices and vitamins. The one pictured is the 'violet vitamin cocktail' ($6.50). I found this a little too sweet for my taste and I don't particularly recommend it.

The 'yuzu honey tea' ($6.50) can be requested both hot or cold. Any yuzu lover must order this drink, which comes with real pieces of caramelized yuzu lying at the bottom of the glass.

The 'tofu cheesecake' ($5.50) is made from both cheese and tofu. It's served in a bird's cage and it tastes like a regular soft-type cheesecake, with a cream cheese texture.

The 'warabi mochi parfait' remains my favourite. I can never find one that's as good as the one I had at a very traditional Kyoto dessert venue, but this is close. Those who like contrasting textures will be amazed as they dig deeper and deeper into this sinful combination of flavours and textures. It starts with a foamy coffee bavaroise accompanied by chewish warabi mochi cubes. The ice cream layer underneath prepares your palate before you can dive into a concert of warabi mochi, cubes of chiffon cake and crunchy cereals, topped by another lump of coffee bavaroise. It's hard to describe the emotion that can be generated by crunchiness, sponginess, creaminess, cold and warm all combined together into this ultimate dessert, while maintaining a balanced flavour.

Unfortunately I only had the chance to review these two desserts, although every dessert served at 'Sun with moon' would deserve its space on this page. If you like desserts you will enjoy this place. If you have a passion for Japanese desserts, you definitely can't miss it.

Have been there about 5 times.. Everytime, I leave the place feeling happy.. Their food is really good. I've tried quite some of their sushi.. all were good but non left deep impressions.. their kajiki sashimi on the other hand is really good.. Another of their must tries is the Tofu Cheesecake.. eVerytime i'm there i've got to eat it! its really good.. its served in this bird cage like thing which is really cute.. the serving is a tad small though.. This Orange Gratin, i'm not sure whether its seasonal but its very interesting and really worth a try.. its filled with seafood and cheese.. mixed with orangy taste.. Their soba is good too.. the noodles are springy and light.. unlike many places where their noodles are not chewy at all..

Ambience wise, if u take a corner seat, it may be hard to get waitresses attention.. Tables are also quite close together, making private conversation quite impossible.. but their food makes everything worthwhile. It might be a good idea to make reserations as they are usually pretty packed..

Sun with Moon is one of my favourite restaurants for Japanese food. Have never had a bad meal there, but the prices are getting to be a tad steep for similar quality I could probably get elsewhere.

Food: Sashimi and seafood kamamaeshi's pretty good, as is beef sukiyaki, foie gras with wagyu, salt grilled fish chin, hotate in butter, gindara teriyaki, tempura moriwase, rainbow rolls (softshell crab with mango/avocado) and a whole lot of other stuff I forget. Dessert-wise, ditch the cheesecake option and go for the chestnut crepes with sakura ice cream. Heavenly and something one doesn't get elsewhere.

Service: Bit clueless. Asked for blended iced chocolate and was told they don't serve it that way. Obviously untrue since I'd had it that way before with the giant Pocky stick. Told them so and they went back and said yes they could do it. Duh.

Ambience: Like the warm lighting and the Japanese paper decorations with calligraphy etc. Pleasant environment and great place for scenery at the tables by the window.

Like I said, getting a bit steep for my liking especially with the proliferation of increasingly more affordable Japanese fare. However, quality definitely good. Prefer this outlet and the one at CHIJMES over the one at Central, which has very limited selection.

i have been to sun with moon twice. so far so good. until.....

i called to make a lunch reservation for a group of 15 pax. its supposed to be a farewell treat for a colleague of ours. guess wat???? i was told that there is a minimum spending of $30 per pax. come on man, why are they imposing such RULE??? i mean, a group of 15 pax is patronising your restaurant and you are turning pple off!!! after hearing this, i immediately slam down the phone. this is really ridiculous.

SIGH. wat is going on in the food industry?????????
