Aburi Kaisen Don ($26.90)

It has been on my wish list for the longest time, but I never really quite understood the hype surrounding this particular chirashi don, hence the long period of time before I actually went to visit. But I understand it now, thanks to the freshness of their fish, and that gorgeous outer sear from the blowtorch that adds a smoky flavour to the fish. Oh and also the lovely smell of aburi which envelops the entire restaurant.

I'm usually enjoy salmon more than the rest of the fishes, but this is the first time I found every type of fish equally enjoyable, perhaps due to the freshness. I guess one tell-tale sign was the redness of their tuna, where normal Japanese restaurants tend to serve tuna that is more pink than red.

Although it looks like a small portion, it was rather filling even though I was hungry as the slices were rather thick, which made each bite extremely satisfying.
