Mysterious Chef's Teppanyaki in Jordan

Came to have teppanyaki with friends, and this place offers different price ranges starting from $388. We ordered the Entry-Level Chef's Special Set ($588) and the Seasonal Chef's Special Set ($788), which come with five and seven dishes respectively. Signature Salad The first dish served was the smoked salmon salad, with the savory smoked salmon wrapped around the greens, presenting a beautiful appearance. Appetizer The seven-dish set started with an appetizer of Japanese Ran-ou egg white with truffle sauce and fish roe. The rich egg flavor, fragrant white truffle, and fresh fish roe make for an ultimate combination. Teppanyaki Seafood Duo The chef prepares the teppanyaki right in front of us. Today, the chef made the following four seafood dishes for us, thoughtfully accompanied by butterfly pea flower sea salt foam: - South African abalone: The abalone is springy and paired with the chef's secret garlic sauce, making it fresh and savory. - Scallops with Italian cucumber: The scallops are pan-seared to just the right doneness, tender and juicy. - Tiger prawns: The springy tiger prawns are served with a sauce made from hand-beaten prawn heads, preserving the original flavor. - White eel: The eel's skin is pan-fried to a delicious crisp, while the flesh remains tender. A touch of shichimi powder and bamboo charcoal sea salt further enhances the eel's natural flavor. Australian Beef Tenderloin Each set includes a meat dish, and we chose the Australian beef tenderloin. The tenderloin is pan-fried to medium-rare, with a rich meaty flavor that can be enjoyed with fried garlic slices and bamboo charcoal salt. Miyagi Prefecture Thick-Cut Black Pork Chop Another option we chose was the black pork chop. The thick-cut pork is tender and not chewy at all, served with a very special spicy pineapple sauce that has a hint of pineapple fragrance and a satisfying spicy kick. Seafood Fried Rice Both sets come with seafood fried rice, which is fragrant and well-fried, topped with a prawn. The seven-dish set's fried rice is further upgraded with soy-marinated salmon roe, enhancing the umami taste. Chrysanthemum Tofu with White Miso Soup The seven-dish set also includes white miso soup, which is sweeter than regular miso soup. The finely sliced tofu showcases the chef's impressive knife skills. Dessert of the Day For dessert, there are yuzu sorbet and purple sweet potato ice cream, both topped with molecular gastronomy popping red beans, adding texture. The yuzu sorbet is refreshingly light, while the purple sweet potato ice cream is sweet and creamy. Gekkeikan The Shot Rich Junmai $84 The restaurant's sake collection is quite extensive, with various types of sake. We ordered a bottle of junmai sake to enjoy with our meal.
