Chef Vikram Khatri has crafted a
fab brunch menu offering
soups, cold appetisers, steamed buns, tempura, sushi, grills, pizza pancakes,
mains, rice, noodles and desserts. Some of the dishes are specials from Guppy’s
regular menu, and some that are usually not available. So if you like Japanese
food, this is a Sunday brunch that you must try. One, unlike most brunches this
one is not served buffet style. Everything is served at your table. When I
say everything, I mean everything; and it is quite an elaborate menu! So
instead of ordering what you like you actually have to tell your server to not serve you what you don’t want. And
of course, if you like something you can order a repeat by simply waving the
flag kept on your table.

The vibrant decor makes for a happy brunch. |
We start with the duo of soups - Miso Soup
and Mushroom Suimono. While both the soups are very good, I have to say
that this is one of the best miso soups I have had. At many places I find the
miso paste overpowering other flavours, but not in this one. Chef Khatri and
his team have struck a wonderful balance here. Then comes a platter of cold
appetisers including Salmon Tataki, Tofu Sashimi, Potato
Salada, Tomago Yaki and Spinach Goma ae. Find some of the
names mind boggling? Just sit back and tuck in the fresh
ingredients ensconced in wonderful flavours. The marinated spinach is dressed
with sesame and coconut milk, and tofu drizzled with a dressing made of ooba
leaves, walnuts and goma ponzu. The Scottish salmon is quick seared and served
with leeks, pickled onions and fresh daikon threads in citrus soy. Don’t worry
about the small servings on the platter. Remember that you can order more of
anything that you like.

I move on to the steamed buns and try the mushroom one. I was
never a fan of baos, but lately have developed a liking for them if they are
stuffed well and are not too doughy. While this bun is perfect, I would prefer
more of the mushroom stuffing to make every mouthful burst with the wonderful
flavour of the filling. The Pork Sumai
is very succulent and very well stuffed with the said meat.
Then comes the course that I have eagerly been
looking forward to. The Sushi
platter includes the California Roll,
the Spicy Salmon Roll and Spicy Tuna Roll. With these in front of
me, I gladly stay away from the vegetarian options that include avocado,
takuwan and cucumber. The sushi is well rolled and simply great. The fish
tempura on the other had is quite a let down. It is not crunchy and I can
almost taste the uncooked batter. I’m sure if I had voiced my concern it would
have come back perfectly done, but honestly when everything else is as good as
it is, one can quietly let it pass and enjoy other stuff.

The grills include Tofu Skewers, Marinated Mushrooms, Sweet Potato Teriyaki Skewers, Chicken Tasukane and Fish Slewer in Spicy Sauce. In this round I do the opposite of the previous one – I stick to the vegetarian options and they are fab; especially the sweet potato teriyaki skewers. I don’t know if it’s just because sweet potatoes are in season currently, but these skewers are just brilliant. Then there’s the Okonomiyaki or the Japanese pancake pizza. It is a pancake made with lots of vegetables and then topped with the meat of your choice and drizzled with a spicy mayo and some hot sauce. I try the pork one and would recommend that you try it too especially because it is a Sunday special and not available in the daily menu.

After all this food one really doesn’t need mains,
but you’ll appreciate the Karashi
Vegetable/Chicken Casserole. The succulent chicken leg and bacon stew is
cooked slowly in karashi mustard sauce and is a comforting broth and ideal for
a cold winter afternoon. It is served with Udon
Noodles with Exotic Mushrooms in tonkatsu sauce and Garlic Fried Sticky Rice. If you do want mains this selection hits the spot. And even if you don't, I would suggest that you at least try the casserole for its wonderful rich flavour.

Finally comes the dessert platter
including Green Tea and Chocolate Cake,
Fruit Yakitori, Chocolate Fondant and ice cream, providing a befitting end to a
wonderful brunch.

But before I sign off, I have to tell you that there are two
ways to enjoy this Sunday Table Brunch – one is with unlimited non-alcoholic
drinks and the other is with unlimited alcoholic drinks. And the cocktails are
super – refreshing, well mixed and include special Japanese style beer
cocktails and mocktails. So if you’re looking for good Sunday brunch options,
please mark Guppy by ai on top of the list, because there are hardly any
Japanese brunches in the city (the mutli-cuisine ones don’t count), the food is
fresh and delicious and I think it is very well priced for the quality of
spread that is offered.

I always have a minimum of 3 trays going, but I don't tend to do a shot a day. I add some to a smoothie, do a shot every other day, add some to a salad, etc. You can consume the second growth of your wheatgrass, but I have heard it is lacking in some nutrients, so I normally compost it after it is all cut.
