I think it will come as little surprise that like most of fellow #burpplers at the #Eatup, I settled on the most expensive donburi on Saketoshi's menu, their Ultimate Seafood Donburi.

I mean who can resist the promise of anago, pan-seared Hokkaido scallops with mentaiko mayo, foie gras, ikura, tobiko, onsen egg and scallions over Japanese white rice served beautifully in a donabe (or Japanese clay pot).

I like that the scallops were giant, fresh and tender and the anago sweet and flaky. The foie gras though was kinda disappointing as it was lumpy rather than rich and smooth.

The biggest letdown though was the rice. It was wet and mushy throughout and I actually checked with the service staff if it was cooked in the donabe (which is hard to manage in terms of temperature) but the service staff said that it wasn't.

I was kinda expecting better at this price-tag but it's worth a try with the #BurppleBeyond 1-for-1!
