Aburi Kaisen Don Keisuke (Bugis+)

Used to be omurice -> aburi -> scrambled egg (I felt that this shop follow current trend lol even though they still in operation at bugis after a lot of years) ($7.90) for scrambled egg don from 100g to 300g; top up ($3.90) for fried spam ham. I just enjoy to eat scrambled egg tbh but the rice I felt meh tbh. Not that nice tbh (quite hard and a bit overcooked). Fried spam ham was really crispy and crunchy but a bit salty texture.

TLDR get the TOKUSEN WARAYAKI ABURI KAISEN DON ($16.90) if you want to taste the freshness of the sashimi, and the WARAYAKI ABURI KAISEN MAZESOBA ($16.90) if you want a richer flavour!

Finally tried Aburi Kaisen Don Keisuke, and I must say that the sauce for their don and mazesoba was fantastic, but their aburi sashimi were at most decent.

The Warayaki Aburi Kaisen Mazesoba ($16.90) was probably the dream of most dry noodle lovers. At a sizeable portion, the noodles were really al dente and the beautiful sweet savoury sauce had so much umami. Each strand of noodle was really coated well with the sauce. Honestly, just give me a bowl of their noodles and sauce and I will be a happy man. The Aburi sashimi pieces were actually quite forgettable unfortunately.

The premium don version ($22.90) was also well flavoured by the sauce, but perhaps it was slightly too salty. Once again the Aburi pieces were just decent, so I wouldn't think it was worth the premium upgrade. If you love your seafood soup, the lobster broth of the ochazuke set ($4) is well worth the top up as the soup was simply fantastic with the seafood flavours. Very rich, they go very well with the rice and sauce.

I would think this is a decent place to come if you're around the area!

Tokusen Warayaki Aburi Kaisen Don (S$16.90++)
Aburi salmon, aburi Maguro (tuna), mongo ika (squid), aburi hamachi (yellow tail), negitoro (minced tuna), tobiko, Ebi soboro (minced prawn)

Rich creamy texture when mixed together.

Ochazuke Set (S$4++)
Lobster soup, spring onion, rice crackers, seaweed, calamansi, and wasabi

Think of Teochew style porridge - rice and seafood in broth.

Ordered the don together with the set. I love the Japanese Dashi Soup!! It was very flavourful. The mixture of ingredients in the don was quite decent but still kind of ordinary.

We tried the Warayaki Aburi Kaisen Maze Soba ($16.90), which is similar to the kaisen don except that this comes with dry ramen tossed in sauce instead of rice. While the taste is good, the combination of thick ramen, sashimi and the decadent sauce is a little too heavy for me - some vinegar to cut through the strong flavours will be nice.
