Since my mother is back and she likes Japanese food, we decided to go out for dinner tonight at Minori Dining & Sake Bar, UE Square. Again, we had the A La Carte buffet. Between the five of us (3 adults and 3 children), we managed to sample 21 different dishes: sushi, sashimi, temaki, teppanyaki, yakimono, agemono, nimono, itamemono, etc. Didn't take any photos of the food because it is standard Japanese fare.
For dessert, my mother had a Sesame ice cream, Juliane a Vanilla ice cream, Marieann and I both had Yuzu Sorbet. The sesame ice cream was fragrant but I still prefer my Yuzu sorbet which was refreshing with its sweet and sour taste. I also ordered a Green Tea Cheese Cake to try. It was good! It wasn't cheesy like the usual Western cheese cake. This one was really smooth and light. The top layer was like tofu cheese mousse, very light; the second layer was red bean, just right in its sweetness; the third layer was green tea (cheese) mousse with its taste of matcha just right (not too bitter and overpowering and not cheesy too) and the fourth layer was a very thin slice of sponge cake. Together, the four layers created the perfect combination of taste! The Green Tea Cheese Cake is well worth a try if you ever go to Minori, as well as the Yuzu Sorbet.

Happy faces after desserts.

Hi, found your blog while looking up Minori - say, does dessert come with the buffet price or is it separate? Thanks! :) Lovely kids, by the way!
You have to pay separate for the dessert.
The ice cream (various flavours - green tea, sweet potato, sesame, pumpkin, yuzu sorbet) costs $4 each and the green tea cheese cake is $4.50. There is also mango tart which costs $4, I think. Not a lot of dessert available but then after the buffet, most people couldnt be bothered with dessert, too FULL, lol.
Hope this is helpful info for you. Must try is the Yuzu Sorbet and Green Tea Cheese Cake. Enjoy yourself if you do go to Minori. :)
PS. Thanks for your compliment about my girls :)
Thanks very much for the info! I shall definitely try the yuzu sorbet! :)
