[$16 , +$2 to swap pork belly for Hokkaido scallops] An interesting and creative name for this dish that is literally a chawanmushi don 🍚, comprising of cheese rice beneath the thick layer of steamed eggs (chawanmushi). Topped with Hokkaido scallops, onions and tobiko, I was glad to have chosen the option of scallops instead of pork belly despite the additional charges. Fresh, plump with a firm albeit chewy mouthfeel, the scallops were served with substantial portion and size that makes the extra charges worth it! ✨ Personally a huge fan of scallops as well and these met up to expectations in terms of both quantity and quality. The steamed egg aka chawanmushi was soft, smooth and wobbly, a beancurd-like texture that comes with a flavourful, umami savoury broth. The bed of rice beneath felt more like a slow cooked porridge instead as it had turned all soft and mushy from the broth. Nevertheless, I love the addition of springy, melted cheese that’s present at the base of the rice, which added another dimension to flavour and texture as well. Though it was an enjoyable dish, I would highly recommend sharing as it would be a tad overwhelming for the palate after awhile. (PS: This dish would be removed from the menu from next Thursday onwards with a new menu launch! Along with other items eg. Crab rosti (my favourite savoury dish here) , kaya french toast etc 😭hence do head down to have a try of the current menu before some items are gone!) .
