Love Sakura さくら

After our first visit to Sakura last year, it has became our regular weekend dining spot. We have been there numerous time and the food has never failed me.

The food and serving size have always been consistent, though the service is not always fantastic and the place is small. But we LOVE their food and they are excellent value for money considering the CBD location.

I swear the photos don't do justice to how good the food actually look and taste. These are taken with camera phone so the colours are not as vivid and vibrant.

Sakura Fish & Chips Set - A$10.90.

The fried king fish set is served with miso soup, salad and rice. I lurvve the Tartar sauce, it's the yummiest Tartar ever. The deep fried lotus root, also known as Renkon Chipusu, is light, savory and crisp. Far better than the normal potato chips we always have. Highly recommended.

Salmon Sahimi Don - AS$10.90

B is a big fan of salmon sashimi don. I reckon he orders this every single time we go to Sakura. Oh well, I don't blame him cos this will be my order too if I am not dining with him. We always order different dishes so that we could share our food.

Soft Shell Crab - A$8.90

This is by far the best soft shell crab I have eaten in my life. The slightly sweet and tangy Tartar sauce is superb and go really well with the soft shell crab.

Pork Katsu Set - A$9.90

Breaded and deep-fried pork cutlet drizzled with Katsu sauce, a Worcestershire-like sauce. Chicken katsu is available as well. All sets are served with miso soup, salad and rice.

There are several other dishes we have tried on some of the visits, but we were always too hungry to bother taking any pictures. The Teriyaki chicken set and katsu curry are pretty good as well, but the salmon sashimi don remains our favourite.
