Sumiya's Salmon Ikura Don Lunch Set @ $19.80 (excl GST and Service Charge)
With its generous portions of fresh sashimi on top of freshly made sushi rice, Sumiya has definitely become my go-to restaurant to satisfy my cravings for some good Japanese food. The lunch set menu is quite affordable as the rice bowl also comes with sides of Chawanmushi (delicious egg custard, but could've done with a pinch more salt) and a side salad topped with delicious sesame dressing (which is actually rather refreshing and helps you not get sick of the chunks of fish). The set even comes with dessert of Matcha Mochi which was a nice end to the glorious meal. 10/10 from me! :)
Famished after catching many Magikarps, we decided to fill up our tummies with some succulent salmon sashimi and ikura. ๐ And devour their lovely daifuku like a Snorlax!
We have not visited Sumiya for its lunch sets for a while and we observed some changes.
1. Salad portion is upsized! ๐
2. Bowls and bowls of this yummilicious don are prepped in advanced so you will be served in 5 mins or so. Rest assured because the sashimi cubes were still chilled and fresh upon arriving into our big mouths. ๐
Salmon sashimi chunks and salmon roe on sushi rice ใ$18.80
All lunch sets comes with appetizer, salad, pickles, miso soup, chawanmushi & dessert.
Figured out the best way to bounce back from a weekend binge so I can continue living my life in a regular pair of pants (read: not sweatpants) is to keep lunch "clean". My pick - a Salmon Ikura Don from Sumiya at Orchard Central. After all, the one-bowl wonder marries both sushi and sashimi in a healthy, satisfying meal. But how can I keep my waistline in check when the meal comes in a set with salad, pickles, miso soup, chawanmushi and mochi?
๐ Salmon Ikura Don Set ($18.80)
Thick succulent chunks of salmon sashimi, paired along with a generous dollop of ikura, nestled over sushi rice - what more is there to ask? Sashimi lovers would love this to death! (S$15.80++ lunch set which includes chawanmushi, miso soup, side salad, side dish, pickles and a mochi as dessert!)
