Restaurant Food Delivery Challenge : Hana Japanese Dining
Any Fresher, You’ll Have to Catch It Yourself. Arriving on the shores of Malaysia from Taiwan in 2015 was the Hana Dining Group with the promise of using fresh and quality produce.
I placed the order via a third party hence it was pretty straight forward. The packaging was nothing much to rave about with very ordinary take away boxes.
I am not one to play with our food, though one of the easiest ways to determine if sashimi is fresh would be from its firm flesh which should spring back almost instantaneously. Failing which, or if it feels slightly mushy, a slightly fishy smell to it, you might want to reconsider consuming it.
The pictures online were very enticing and looked very promising with much accompanying visual condiments such as flowers and leaves which don’t necessarily appear during a delivery despite what you see online hence much skepticism whilst suspiciously eyeing the delivery package.
However I was pleasantly surprised as I unwrapped the sashimi which was both fresh with minimal fishiness and felt firm to the touch. The salmon flesh was a nice shade of pink and the hotate was a light shade of beige. The most pleasurable part of the dining experience was the moment the hotate entered my mouth. It had a beautiful, smooth and soft texture and was slightly sweet as though eating a delicate dessert which melts in your mouth.
With the potential to go very right or wrong, Sashimi is risky especially when ordered without accompanying cooked food. However, Hana has begged to differ delivering both fresh and visually pleasing Sashimi.
