New Menu Debuting Next Month

After months of shooting, we've finally managed to get over 200 items shot for our spanking new menu coming out next month. It promises to be a mouth-watering eyewash.

Of course the job comes with some cons. I go to the Jap restaurant 2-3 times a week and I get to eat most of what I shoot. So, I'm kinda sworn off raw Jap food for the next couple of weeks. There is such a thing as an overdose of raw salmon, salmon eggs, Saba fish, tuna, sea urchin, etc. These things are meant to be eaten fresh from the sushi bar. After a couple of hours of photo shoot, they are virtually inedible.

Anyway, here are some of my favourite photos. I can't wait to see the full blown pics decorating the new menu. Patience... patience...



My personal favourite - Kanpachi Teriyaki


Hotate to ebi kushiage - Japanese Satay?


Gindara yukimi nabe


Ramen - or shall I say Japanese Wan Tan Mee?


Salmon Maki


Salmon Carpaccio


Dobin Mushi


Oroshi Ikura


Sake - nice looking bottles, but lethal to drink :-P


Tako no yawarakani


Renkon Senbe


Hotate Kaninabe - hmmmm... Hokkien speakers, don't think serong ah!

*Nice photos! Did you use additional lights for it or just natural light? :-)
