Before coming to ONAKA, I thought it this must be a Japanese Restaurant; however, ONAKA is actually stands for Optimum Nutrition And Kitchen Arts. The restaurant’s specialty is Conscious Cuisine, serving food using only wholesome and selective organic ingredients in their Asian culinary, with a Western twist. They hope to promote “Eat Consciously; Live Mindfully“; hoping to inspire their customers to eating in balance and moderation,
With ONAKA’s dedication to use all-natural ingredients without artificial addictives, chemicals, colorings, flavorings , MSG and trans-fats and focus to serve food with Low Glycemic, Gluten Free and Vegan Options; we really need to worry less about what we are putting into our mouth.
About 50% of the menu is Vegetarian; no pork or lard is served at the restaurant. This is a great news to all, as it’s always so difficult to accommodate to each and everyone when all have different eating habits. One no longer need to worry, if their friend is vegetarian or on strict diet.
Let me bring you through the Conscious Cuisine that Chef Jason Vito, and Chef Benson Tong had prepared for us!
Asian Hummus – a blend of organic chickpeas, tahini, topped with chilli-marinated olives, served with Nacho Chips or Wholemeal Pita Crisps.
Water Melon Sashimi – One may wonder, is this Water Melon or Sashimi? This is actually of compressed water melon and this is 100% vegetarian. Dip into the sauce, you totally feel as if you are eating Sashimi while in actually fact, is 100% water-melon.
Tofu Avo – Indulge into this salad with the tasty Tofu and Avocado. There are even bits of Walnut that adds on some crunchiness! Perfect for the vegetarian and health conscious! This ought to be one of my favourite!
Mushroom Tea – This is something unique, I felt like I’m drinking mushroom soup, instead of mushroom tea. The tea is very clear and gives off a nice aroma of fresh mushroom, love it to bits. It is clearly a MUST TRY for mushroom lovers!
See the happy face of our beautiful model of the day, Evalee, you will know how much she enjoyed the mushroom tea.
Roasted Mushroom Soba – This is a twist from the usual cold Soba that we eat at Japanese restaurant. Cooked with mushroom and topped with seafood, this is clearly another great dish for the vegetarian and mushroom lovers.
Duck Confit Pancake – I have never eaten duck in such a manner before, it is simply interesting and the honey actually brings out the sweetness of the duck meet. This is another TOP Favourite among all.
Pumpkin Seabass – The roasted pumpkin seeds layered on top of the seabass’ skin adds on crunchiness. Tasted a bit blend on itself, but it certainly goes well with the tomato puree.
48hrs Beef – The beef is cooked over 48hrs with red wine reduction which explains why it taste so tender and juicy. Even for a non beef lover like me, it taste pretty good.
The pricing at ONAKA seems to be of medium-high range, however, if compared to most organic restaurants, ONAKA’s price range is actually considered reasonably priced and affordable. Last but not least, check out the current promotion by ONAKA.
