Kinobe

Once you’re done getting some beers from Get Some, head on over to @kinobe.sg just round the corner to get some delicious food to silence those voracious beer munchies. No I mean it, Kinobe is just a few steps away from the pub, which seems like some genius tactical positioning. If Kinobe sounds familiar to you, they should, as they used to dish out rather delectable Japanese food at Amoy Street Food Centre. Apparently they moved to the wild west of Singapore.⠀
⠀
You’re going to be spoilt for choice here, as you can choose from beef, wagyu beef, chicken, duck, pork and salmon, and you can choose each protein in three different variations. I was about five pints deep by then, and I just picked the first thing my drunken eyes fell upon: the Mentaiko Salmon Don for ten dollars flat. For ten bucks I got myself quite the bargain with a full ricebowl topped with a sizeable slab of salmon buried under a generous layer of torched mentaiko mayo, a fabulously flowy soft boiled egg that unfortunately popped too early, and most surprisingly, some nicely sautéed shiitake shrooms.⠀
⠀
The slice of salmon I got certainly appears to be thicker than normal, and as such I was pleasantly surprised by its extra moistness as I devoured it in my drunken desire. The mentaiko mayo is certainly more creamy than savoury, but the levels of umami presented were certainly enough to sate my taste. The sautéed shiitake was an interesting addition with its bouncy chew, and I quite enjoyed their presence to complement the soft flaky fish. The egg added a luscious, albeit slightly unnecessary, richness to the rice as it gushed its essence all over the sticky Japanese rice.⠀

With bangers like their mentaiko salmon, Kinobe is a definite can eat, bae.

Stall in Kopitiam selling Japanese Don. Ordered Wagyu Mentaiko Don $14. Meat was tender and the Mentaiko sauce gave the rice and beef added umami. Break in the onsen egg and the yolk covered rice became silky smooth. The slivers of shitake mushrooms rounded up the flavours in every mouthful

Must come back soon to try their other items. Support young hawkers.

Catering mainly to the CBD office crowd (but unfortunately not for now😢), their survival against many well-established hawker stalls in AMFC, and of course pulling through this tough times says a lot…😋👍

Kinobe’s known for their affordable donburi bowls at Amoy and they’ve added new items on the menu. New meats, toppings, and mentaiko! Took away 4 bowls for lunch - mentaiko salmon, pork, smoked duck and chicken. Found the pork slices a touch tough, but the smoked duck and chicken were nicely chunky and tender. Our favourite was the salmon that came in two pretty thick slabs and done just right. Was surprised by how rich the thick mentaiko topping was and they were very generous with it, along with the standard combination of sides of mushrooms, seaweed and an oozy onsen egg.

The don came with a generous serving of flavorful and fatty beef, some shimeji mushrooms, one onsen egg and a sprinkling of seaweed. The sauce paired well with the beef and rice but left the rice slightly too wet for my liking. Miso soup was provided as a free side but was very bland, akin to miso flavored water. 3/5

Heard that they used to just have two dons, and now they extended to much more dons (and crowds!). They mastered how to make the chicken so tender and it goes well with the spicy sprinkle and gooey onsen egg.

$5.50! Came here on meal pal so its a deffo steal
