There are hidden gems, and there are REAL hidden gems. Misato is a Japanese restaurant tucked away in some new food wing of Centrepoint (beside Chicken Up) that prides itself on serving quality Japanese food at very affordable prices. Think Saizeriya serving top grade pastas and pizzas.......... yeah sounds too good to be true right?

So they are famous for a few dishes: the A5 Ohmi Wagyu being one of them. at $43.80 for 100g of this amazing piece of meat, this is hands down the most value for money steak you'll ever find anywhere. It is also a big part of why I will DEFINITELY be back here again. perfectly marbled with a weird but tasty yellow bean sauce and mushrooms and tofu that taste more like mochi in texture.. if you love steak you HAVE to order this. 5/5

another popular dish is the okonomiyaki. you can smell this instantly from the kitchen when it is getting prepared. there was enough egg, cabbage, sauce and lightly charred crispy edges to make it a very tasty side. 5/5

popular dish #3 is their matcha soba. yes.. green tea flavoured soba. the green tea taste was cool i guess but i wasnt very impressed otherwise. maybe I'm not really a cold soba kinda guy. or maybe i was thinking the $15 i paid for the soba could have been better spent on a kurobuta pork katsu don which cost the same (yes, it is REALLY cheap there. $15 for a premium black pig katsu don is unreal) so i can only give 3/5 for this matcha soba which essentially came as soba and nothing else haha

ah. the matcha jelly. if you haven't already watched me try to shake The Most Jiggly Dessert Ever you should check it out on my profile. this was so full of matcha flavour i felt i was back in Japan. no joke. best green tea flavoured pudding/jelly in Singapore. 5/5

total damage for an A5 wagyu, huge okonomiyaki, matcha soba, matcha pudding and a pot of hot matcha was around $100. half of it was due to the steak so imagine how cheap everything is!

the only bad point about this place is the waiting time. because every dish to made to order and the chefs start preparing on the spot, this restaurant is famous for long waiting times. i went on an afternoon when the restaurant was half full and still had to wait 30mins before my first dish (the okonomiyaki) was served. be warned. if you are in a hurry DO NOT come here. otherwise this has officially become one of my favourite restaurants in Singapore. i hope this post doesn't cause even longer queues hahahahaha. 5/5
