[CLOSED] Hayai

🍘“Eat good | Feel good | Think good”🍙
We are always up for a new Japanese dish concept and this time our table turns to @hayai.sg for its new Japanese sandwich concept: Japanese style sandwich “Onigirazu”🤟

Onigirazu is a play of word between “onigiri” (rice ball) and “nigirazu”(to not mold in one’s hand). It is a hybrid Japanese rice ball sandwich. Unlike a triangle Onigiri, you can craft what you like in your filling and the shape of sandwich comes in rectangular shape. We watch Angeline’s meticulous work on making these 2 sandwiches for us. One is a Bulgogi Beef with kimchi, red pepper and tomato (Thai chili sauce) and another is a vegetarian tofu pocket with yellow pepper, kimchi, omelette (wasabi mayo)🤩
.
It is a very straightforward process: Pick meat, sauce, then fillings (3 for onigirazu).
We enjoy this healthy sandwich taste and also they run 1-for-1 deal right now. We paid $6.50 in total for these 2 sandwiches (4 pcs as in pic).🤑
.
Special thanks to their friendly staff “Angeline” for explaining to newbie like us how it works. The only thing we wish they change is the cling film wrap that is quite difficult to peel when we munch on those sandwiches and opt for more environmental friendly package. 🍃

Decided to try this seafood poached rice($7). It was supposed to come with an egg. But they ran out of eggs, and told me they would give me more ingredients (not sure if they did that). The preparation of food took quite a while even though there were no long queues. After trying the food, I think I won't order this again. The rice, soup and seafood weren't cooked together. So there wasn't any strong seafood soup taste. It was quite light and bland actually (my mom resorted to adding light soya sauce and eating it with our own ikan bilis). The clams was also abit sandy and the clams innards was green? (Sorry I haven't see a green innards clam before). The scallop also came uncleaned (with those scallop lips and their black vein). Overall, even with the 1 for 1, i thought it wasnt worth it. Maybe you will get better luck trying their onigri rice balls #burpple #burpplesg #hayai #hayaisg #shopbackgo #shopbackgosg #food #foodiesg #sgfoodie #whati8today #8dayseat #vscofoodie #iweeklyfood #foodporn #foodstagram #vscofood #foodphotography #sgmakan #sgmakandiary #sgfoodstagram #singaporeeats #exploresingaporeeats #exploresg #sgfoodie

Honestly speaking, overall taste is OK!
But texture and meat is a tad too dry.

Rice (Not Moist at all, tasteless)
Chicken (Not Juicy nor Tender, not lukewarm when served ~ or maybe it should be served cold? Idk🤷🏻‍♂️)
Condiment Option (Maybe you can consider coming up with more choices? Like Purple Slaw/Pickled Option/Kale. Just suggestion (Food Cost))
