Another story from Melbourne CBD, this time is Hako. My sister saw this restaurant from another food blog called Melbourne gastronome (use google to found it) and she heard that they have a unique Ebi Tempura.
Went into the restaurant I was impressed by their interior and atmosphere, it's a simple yet elegant style(picture above) and it's not a squeeze type of restaurant.
As we are not sure what to order, we asked the waitress what is recommended in this restaurant and she recommended a blue swimmer crab meat and tobiko with shiso leaf wrap. So we order that and boy it's sure full of flavour. You need to wrap the whole crab in leaf and have a one full bite burst of fresh flavour.
Then come the Ebi Tempura, I'm not sure what the wrap made from since it's not a normal batter more like a thinly slice pastry. One thing for sure, you can taste the freshness of the prawn.
For main courses are Teriyaki Chicken and Fish Special. Though some people may said it's only a teriyaki chicken, I believe that this dish taste much better than the food court hot bar teriyaki chicken. What really nice about it that I can taste a good flavour of well cooked chicken and just enough acidity from the sauce.
As for the fish dish, it was a fish of the day thing so I'm not sure with the fish type. The sauce was very light soy and there's a hint of sake. It's quite a clean dish without any taste of fishiness. The only complain about this dish, which is come from me personally, there's too much bone in the fish.
Overall it's good experience with the restaurant and food.
