From the new Don Don Donki at Clarke Quay; named Doraya, this stall within the food court area focuses on its raw tuna offerings.

Perhaps one of the better dining options in the food court itself; despite the slight priciness of the bowl at $19.80, this worked out pretty well considering how fresh the Maguro was, whilst being sliced in well-sized chunks and torched to allow patrons to actually feel and taste the fish with the pearly and fluffy Japanese short-grain rice – pretty well-balanced in that aspect. The garlic chips helps to add a contrast of flavours to the bowl; a crispness and a garlicky note that just adds on the fish and rice here. Coming with Yuzu peels on the side, the Yuzu helps to add just a hint of zinginess to give a good break in between the heavier flavours of the Maguro, while the wasabi invokes a numbing sensation that is oh-so-shiok as it hits the nose when had with the other elements in the bowl.
