I love the pico de gallo - tangy and refreshing. Complements the fried fish which may be slightly oily on its on. Fish was nicely fried and pretty fresh. The size was pretty small I’d say, but it’s just nice for a taco serving!
Overall I enjoyed this taco, but wished the tacos were crispy because the sauce kinda made the taco shell soggy! But I would definitely reorder this the next time I’m here.
THIS IS THE BEST TAKO BALLS IN SG. Take my word for it. Ditch the Wow Tako we see in malls. Just TRY IT.
Gindaco is a chain from Japan 🇯🇵 The tako balls from the SG outlet are comparable to the ones in Japan, I must say.
First, the balls are huge. Like unlike any tako balls I’ve ate in SG. ⚽️
Imagine this: biting through a crispy exterior into a soft pillowy batter. Not like the typical tasteless batter. The batter is super tasty and gingery/oniony. And the octopus is huge, plump, fresh and tender. Everything is in the right amount - crisp exterior, soft & tasty interior with a good amount of octopus. Pure bliss 🐙
One of the BEST chicken bulgogi places in Singapore. 🍗
The sauce is super flavourful, goes super well with rice. The chicken arrives on a sizzling hot plate and slightly burnt - but in a good way because it made the chicken super fragrant and slightly crispy.
Wanted to also mention that the restaurant is run by Koreans, so be rest assured that you’re getting authentic K food. Definitely revisiting when I have Chicken bulgogi cravings!!
Omote has been THE place to satisfy my chirashi craving. But it was only today that I uncovered this gem - spicy dashi chirashi (not sure if it’s new)
Oh my this was spectacular. For a start, the sashimi were incredibly fresh. No hints of fishy taste (always consistently fresh for all my visits), good amount of fats to meat. Some places have their sashimi way too fatty which causes gelatness. But never omote - I’ll always finish the bowl feeling super satisfied and happy. 😊
The thing that sets apart this bowl from the usual/standard is the seasoning they toss the sashimi in. It’s reminiscent of sesame oil/garlic with spice. The result: a flavourbomb. Umami, spicy yet not overpowering - very well balanced with the sashimi. Drizzled over the fragrant rice makes the rice x10000 better than it already was.
Also, the cuts are super generous - thick and succulent slices of fish. Never skimpy, that’s why I’m a proud returning customer. Very value for money.💰
I’m a happy girl 👧🏻
Seems plain but boy it was so tasty! Topped with a crispy sunny side up (& brownie points for the runny yolk), we were told to mix all of the ingredients. The yolk provided a creamy and eggy base, alongside the dark sauce (which is reminiscent of 卤肉饭). It was an intensely fragrant and tasty treat. The crispy pork pieces also provided an additional texture and were really tasty as well. Recommend!
This dish was interestingly translated to 一大粒面 (one big ball of noodles). It was served piping hot and the faint smell of garlic aroma greeted us. A simple scan of the dish got me excited about the great variety and amount of ingredients - prawns, mushrooms and SCALLOPS. Really worth the price. The spaghetti was fragrant and lightly tossed with olive oil and garlics. Not too oily but adequately seasoned.
Decent but not the best. Relatively generous with the amounts of unagi - pretty thick and substantial! Rice was drizzled with unagi sauce which made it really tasty. Would recommend if you have an unagi itch.
Cheap and good! Was surprised how tasty this don was. Unagi was drizzled with unagi sauce. It was soft and not overcooked. Rice was covered with eggs and onions. Simple and cheap way to satisfy my unagi cravings.
Both drinks were very fragrant and not too sweet. I really enjoyed both and will definitely revisit!!
Didn’t quite enjoy this dish as much as I wished. I’m a fan of roasted pork and mee siam, and this had high hopes for this fusion. The mee siam wasn’t fragrant (it wasn’t fried with aromatics) and only an unsatisfying amount was stuffed into the belly roll. The sauce was also disappointing - it was overwhelmed with coconut milk, which made the sauce too heavy! It wasn’t like the typical meesiam sauce, light & citrusy. The pairing turned out to be slightly odd and not complementary. :(
Looks unassuming, but the fried rice really packs a punch! There’s an abundance of ingredients - prawns, mini scallops and crabs. It was very fragrant and infused with wokhey. Worth a try if you have burpple one for one, but otherwise pretty pricey for a fried rice (even with the ingredients!)
The unassuming store was tucked in a corner of Fortune Centre — a very quintessential feature of a good Japanese restaurant. I was immediately drawn to the shelves of Sake, a rare sight in SG.
Chef has a bubbly disposition, and it was interesting to see her bounce around the kitchen to get the food served to us.
They offer free sake tasting, which is definitely an experience.
I was pleasantly taken aback by the first dish - uni and king snapper noodles (see top right picture). Everything was very fresh and sweet. Some other highlights include the sashimi platter, ikura don and truffle unagi. I immensely enjoyed the freshness of the ingredients and the interesting fusion of different foods (such as the truffle on unagi). Would definitely revisit!
