Fave Dishes from Moono Japanese Restaurant in RSM
The first time we dined at Moono in RSM was for Valentine’s Day, and this time I was so delighted to be invited back by Chef Petcheer. This time we ordered the Crispy Nori Tuna Tartare (which is insanely good), and also the spicy garlic edamame, pan fried gyoza, spicy pork ramen, chicken katsu curry rice and a handful of drinks with my ultimate faves being the chu hais (that included a strawberry version). Check out the entire menu here.
I honestly dream about the Crispy Nori Tuna Tartare, the tune is on top of avocado, and topped with micro greens and masago. The crispy nori is insanely good and provides the perfect crunch texture and complement to the tartare and saltiness from the masago, but buttery texture of the avocado. There’s a variety of ramen from chicken, beef and miso to black garlic, shoyu, creamy caviar AND a vegan option! There’s something from everyone, as there’s a variety of starter options featuring Japanese classics, and sides like wings, then of course a vast array of sushi roll options. Not your type of thing? Try the Chicken Katsu Burger (WITH truffle fries), or a beef or teriyaki chicken bowl. Don’t skip out on a cocktail because they bespoke vibes of each cocktail is an experience in its own - but if that’s not your thing; beer, sake and wine is available or go alcohol free with a handful of options!
