📝 honey miso chicken thigh, crispy fish skin, short-grain rice, onsen egg⠀⠀⠀
~$16.90~⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀
Bought this 1-for-1 voucher during Chope’s birthday so is actually $8.45 per pax!! The store itself is really small, with only 6 seats so when I arrived (at lunch hour, no less 🤭) there was already a queue and I could not get any seats but I was able to seat at the establishment located beside it selling Korean stews (which actl looks 🤤)⠀⠀⠀
Anyway, I had to wait ~15-20min for the food and when it first came, the plating made the donburi look so appetising but I was doubtful of the portion. However my concerns were for naught. I couldn’t even finish the entire thing OMG it was sneakily so filling!! ⠀⠀
The donburi was intriguing— juicy and succulent chicken thighs smothered in honey miso sauce accompanied with a side of lightly spiced crispy fish skin (!) and topped with a perfect onsen egg on a generous serving of fluffy short-grain rice with some seaweed furikake. The chicken was amazing— every bite of the succulent thigh exploded with sweet and umami (thanks to the miso) notes which paired really well with the grassy, earthy seaweed rice. However, the crispy fish skin— even though amazing on its own— completely overwhelmed the entire dish and I could only taste the Cajun seasoning. If only it was less dominant, it would’ve been perfect. It’s crunchy and umami, providing a spectacular textural contrast to the creamy rice (cuz I mixed the onsen egg in hehe). ⠀⠀⠀
Honestly, even though it was not bad, I can’t justify paying $16.90 for this especially when my tastebuds got overwhelmed by the Cajun fish skin (the dealbreaker). However, if there was another BOGO (buy one get one) promotion, I would definitely visit again.⠀⠀⠀
⠀
*EDIT: okay I found out the dish is actually $9.90 instead which I feel is not bad esp arnd the CBD area!!⠀
