The award-winning Ten Japanese Fine Dining restaurant from Australia has arrived in KL. For my birthday, our plan was to visit Lafite but unfortunately they were closed for a private function. My back-up plan was Sage, but unfortunately they too were closed for a private function.
Since Ten was on the list of restaurants to visit, we made this my birthday celebration venue. (Yes, this is just one of many places we celebrated my birthday this year)
Solaris Dutamas is one of those places I dislike visiting cos of the parking situation -- it took us quite a while to find a parking space because most of the parking bays are reserved. Luckily, on that day, they opened the basement parking. Or else we would have given up and left. Ten was quite difficult to locate, but luckily the Information Counter inside Publika directed us there. It is located opposite Overtime, which is on the first floor of Publika.

Service here is good, and pretty efficient. For lunch, they only serve the set lunch menu and a few Chef's Specialty items. The set lunch price ranges from RM45 (grilled mackarel / chicken teriyaki / Inaniwa udon) to RM80 (wagyu steak), which is available from Tuesday to Friday.
Ten means "heaven" in Japanese.
! Ten is helmed by two experienced and highly-acclaimed chefs, Executive Chef Hiroshi Miura and Executive Sushi Chef Atsushi Nishibuchi. ChefMiura has Cha-Kaiseki (tea ceremony meal) and Ryotei training while Chef Nishibuchi has been trained in unique modern sushi technique known as Edomae Sushi (Tokyo-style sushi).
We sat pretty close to the sushi bar, so we got to see some sashimi slicing action by Chef Nishibuchi.
The set lunches come with an appetizer of the day, fresh green salad and chawanmushi. I think the appetizer we got was a type of seaweed, which was a combination of sweet and savoury flavours. Very good indeed.
