About the food:
The menu had a wide variety of options to choose from, it offers Pan-Asian cuisine. The menu is extensive with sections of soups, appetizers, salads, dum sums- steamed and fried, sushi, sashimi, fish, noodles, tempura and some dishes from the wok and grill.
In terms of cuisine, Novikov was not very authentic it had a fusion and was more towards the modern side.
What I ordered:
For the starters we started off with some spicy edamame and crunchy shrimp.
Then we went to the main-course, we had chicken & morel sui mai, which was a dimsum with chicken and mushroom. Then we had miso baby chicken the creativity and quality of it was excellent! The last one we had was the Novikov black black cod, it is their classic dish that everyone must try!
Dessert:
They said you could not leave without trying their mouth-watering dessert, so we ordered shira tama sphere. As they poured the sauce it opened up and was delicious. Not a very big serving, but perfect for two people.
Drinks:
The portion sizes were average and good for sharing. There was so much more from the menu that we wanted to try, so we left that for the next visit.
Their recommendations were to have seafood, there was a live seafood section which contained seafood from all over the world!
