What Is Maison Yoshoku?

Their star offering is a dessert omakase where the bite-sized courses are served on levitating magnetic platforms.
The restaurant pairs warm wood interiors, earthy tones and leather with soft lighting and an open kitchen, creating an intimate and elegant ambience.

What We Ate
Appetizers
Foie Gras Monaka ($14 per pc)
The dish was quite salty, but in a way that complemented the rich, gaminess of the foie gras well. This is designed to be enjoyed with wine, which may explain the strong flavours.
Tatami Iwashi & Cheese ($15)
This interesting looking dish was a pancake of mini sardines and cheese. It was simple and salty, perfect for drinks and less as an appetiser for a meal.
Lobster Bisque Chawanmushi ($16)
This turned out to be one of the best bites of the night! The bisque topping was rich and umami-packed, adding a savouriness to the gentle steamed egg below. We also liked the chunks of sweet lobster meat.
Mains
Grilled Half Spring Chicken ($36)
The chicken was fresh and tender, and we liked the sauce that came with it! It was smoky, savoury but slightly sweet, complimenting the chicken.
If you only order one thing at Maison Yoshoku, make it this.
Kurobuta Rosu Yaki ($36)
The pork was not too fatty with a nice seasoning and sear on the outside.
The wasabi sauce tied the dish together. It was buttery with just enough of a kick to add contrast without heat.
The potato wedges on the side were crispy too!
Hitsumabushi Lunch Set
Farm Seabass Meunière Hitsumabushi ($35)
The lunch set comes with a corn and crab chawanmushi and the Meunière Hitsumabushi. Served with both dashi and a rich sauce, the Meunière Hitsumabushi is meant to be enjoyed however you like: as is, or with the provided dashi broth and sauce.
The fish had nicely crisped skin, and the generous portion was easy to share between two. The side of warm dashi added a comforting umami but the demi-glace sauce elevated the dish entirely.
Floating Dessert Omakase Bar Experience
We went through their 7-course dessert omakase: Seven Memories, 七つの記憶 ($45 per pax) journey through Japan’s seasons.

| 1 | Haru no Kaori (香る春) — The Fragrance of Spring | Green Apple, Lemongrass, Kaffir Lime |

Highlight Dessert Courses
Yuzu no Kasumi
A yuzu sorbet that was a palate cleanser after a heavy meal, bright and refreshing with the perfect amount of sweetness and tart.
Fukami
Reminiscent of a cone cream cracker, this course featured a rich garlic-truffle cream with a cheese-like umami. The dessert notes come through with notes of cocoa. While the idea of a savoury dessert is an acquired taste, this was a unique and memorable bite.
Suika no Natsu
With watermelon and coconut, this dish was refreshing! The watermelon ice cream was surprisingly light which complemented the coconut foam and sago.
Akamiso to Shiso
This course was our favourite by far! Miso ice cream sounds questionable, but this was sweet and creamy with a subtle savoury finish . The raspberry ice was sweet, light and tart,creating the perfect balance . We wished we could have more of this!
Is Maison Yoshoku Worth A Visit?
Yes, definitely worth a visit. Their yoshoku mains like the Grilled Half Spring Chicken were well-executed, while the dessert omakase experience adds something different to the meal. All in all, the food quality speaks for itself, with the chicken and Meunière Hitsumabushi standing out as dishes worth ordering again.
