[CLOSED] Flaming Don (Bugis+)

There's nothing signature about this. In fact, don't come, it's one of the worst restaurants. Think of a casual concept exploiting the donburi trend. The chicken felt cooked by someone new to the kitchen. It was bland and flamed so badly. The nice touch was the customisable sides, which included onsen egg and tenkasu, but it couldn't hide the fact they're cheap sides.

Love the ramen soup!
I also like the Chicken Nanban but I think they put too much mayo on it

Flaming don is my go to Japanese dining place because it is so worthwhile! They have this lunch/dinner/student promo with free drinks and miso soup I think. They also serve a pretty good variety of noodles and rice bowls for you to choose from. 😍

Student set lunch menu came with drink and a side (~$10), value for money! Nice combination of cheese and sliced beef.

⭐️ 3.5/5

Chicken Curry Don: $10.90
Nema Tama Buta Don: $12.90

The rice had a nice bouncy texture and they gave a generous amount of meat and sauce. The japanese curry was flavourful and the vegetables were stewed to a nice texture. The other dish tasted like an average chicken don. The chicken in both were however a little overcooked with a slight chewy texture.

Ordering is done at a self-serve kiosk though there is staff on hand to provide assistance. Drinks are free-flow and there is a small corner offering extra condiments and miso soup. Would recommend the garlic miso sauce to add extra umami flavour!

Overall: 7.5/10 🍛
