Chirashi Don This Japanese restaurant in Bukit Timah Plaza offers chirashidon, sushi, sashimi, ramen….the works. We were there to try their much vaunted chirashi dons.
Ordered their mini Chirashi Don, Spicy Chirashi Don and Sanshoku Kaisen Don. Price is average for a Japanese restaurant but you get very fresh and tasty sashimi, whether it’s chopped or sliced, and lots of it. I am especially happy with my sushi rice which to be had the perfect blend of tartness from vinegar and savoury from the salt. A little advice here for the new customers - the spicy bara chirashi Don packs quite a punch. Those who are not used to heat from chilli padi, please do not order or pick away the sliced chilli before eating. But it does impart a special spicy taste to the umami sweetness of sashimi.
The chawanmushi was quite normal but special mention for the creme brûlée. Although you do not get vanilla beans, at $3.90, this is a good dessert to end the meal, with the caramelised sugar imparting just a bit of bitter blending well with the flavours from the silky vanilla egg custard.
Can’t wait to come back and try the other items on the menu.
