After an exciting launch event for the Honor 200, our next stop was the Capitol Kempinski’s Ka-EN Grill and Sushi Bar, where we explored their newly launched Izakaya menu.
It was also the perfect opportunity to test out the Honor 200 Pro’s camera, so all the photos and videos you see here are unedited captures from the device. While the Harcourt feature is primarily designed for portraits, I found it worked beautifully for food photography as well.
The new al fresco seating area is a delightful addition, offering a cozy ambiance where diners can enjoy a view of the iconic St. Andrew’s Cathedral—if you snag the right seats, of course!
Ka-EN’s Izakaya menu boasts 18 items, and we sampled a few:
The Tebasaki Karaage was literally “Har Cheong Gai” which was delicious and addictive.
Crisp and tender, the squid rings were cooked to perfection, avoiding that dreaded rubbery texture.
Among the best I’ve had at a Japanese restaurant, the tofu’s lightly crisp batter stayed delightfully crunchy throughout.
If the Izakaya selections don’t quite hit the spot, fear not—you can also order from their main menu.
Fresh oysters, anyone?
A hearty option that’s sure to satisfy.
For reference, I’ve included the menu here, which also features various ongoing promotions.
Sake enthusiasts should definitely keep an eye out for their monthly 90-minute free-flow sake event, which takes place on a selected Thursday each month—a must-try for those who enjoy Japanese cuisine with a spirited twist.
