I'm not a big fan of Japanese food, but my colleagues were keen on having Jap for lunch this particular weekday so we headed to this quiet dining joint at Far East Plaza. When I stepped in I was pleasantly surprised by the interior. It looks like one of those eateries you can find along the streets of Japan (vague memories from the time I visited the country when I was only 5) - definitely different compared to modern places like Sushi Tei.The concept's like a sushi bar so you sit on high chairs
When I stepped in I was pleasantly surprised by the interior. It looks like one of those eateries you can find along the streets of Japan (vague memories from the time I visited the country when I was only 5) - definitely different compared to modern places like Sushi Tei.
The concept's like a sushi bar so you sit on high chairs around the counter. It was a little uncomfortable and the place is extremely small so... that's one thing I didn't like. Also, the service wasn't say very attentive. And they were right in front of us the whole time - you'd think they'd pay a little more attention huh?
Anyway, for my main dish I had the chicken (Don? Donburi? No idea! - $10) rice thingy with egg. It was a little too bland for my liking, but it was very filling. Had to use lots of shoyu sauce to make it taste better.
I ordered a plate of salmon bellly sashimi ($7+) to share with a colleague. As I mentioned, I'm not a big fan of Jap food, but I do admit I'm completely head over heels in love with salmon sashimi and salmon-anything. However, this was my first time trying salmon belly and although it's super duper fresh here (no fishy taste AT ALL!), I didn't like the fact that it was soooo fatty. It was very "gelad" and I could only take 2-3 slices before feeling a little nauseous. I think I'll stick to normal salmon sashimi from now on - but I'm sure there are many of you who love salmon belly so do try it here!
