Nirai-Kanai Okinawan Restaurant
I brought my wife to Nirai-Kanai Okinawan Restaurant for dinner today. This place is well know for its authentic Okinawan cuisine. It incorporates influences from Chinese cuisine and Southeast Asian cuisine due to trading businesses in the past. Pork is also a must have in Okinawan cuisine.
This Japanese restaurant is one of the few that I like to patronise. My wife likes to eat their Stir Fried Pork and Vegetables with spicy Kimchi. We ordered their Okinawan Famous Stewed Pork Belly, Bittergourd with Tofu, Pork and Egg as well as my wife's favourite Stir Fried Pork and Vegetables with spicy Kimchi. For Pork lovers, this restaurant is well known for their Pork Belly. It is so soft that when you can easily break it using your chopsticks. When you place the pork in your mouth, the goodness is beyond description. The layer of fat will just dissolve and melt in your mouth. Another Okinawan speciality is the bittergourd. The bittergourd is stir fried with tofu, pork and egg making it a perfect combination. The pork which is nice and soft added more flavour to the dish. For bittergourd lovers, this is one dish not to be missed. Lastly, the Stir Fried Pork and Vegetables with spicy Kimchi was very appetising. The pork is thinly sliced and stir fried with cabbage, bean sprouts and kimchi. The ingredients has absorbed the flavour of the kimchi making it a little sourish hence extremely appetising. My wife could really finish her bowl of white rice with just this dish. All the 3 dishes are simple but delicious. Overall, this is the best authentic and traditional Japanese cuisine that I have ever tasted.
