The Barramundi Chazuke (SGD $36) is now on its 4th revision.

This latest version features a classic hearty Sichuan / Szechuan stew of pickled mustard greens, garlic, ginger, peppercorns, leeks, spring onions, and Japanese white rice, in a warm fish bone soup / broth that has been stewed for hours.
.
The ingredients are soft and tender while the soup / broth carries robust grainy sweet savoury sour salty earthy spice flavours.
.
The medium large slab of pan-fried barramundi fish fillet sits on top, with a garnish of juicy ikura / salmon fish roe that bursts with briny salty flavour.
.
The boneless barramundi fish fillet is tender flaky moist, with a smoky sweet savoury flavour that is nicely enticing.

The bubbling stew looks so appetizing when served, and the crisp rice wafer gradually dissolves within.
