Chirashi Hunting

True to Teppei style, Hanare offers two value-for-money buffet options: full buffet at $19.90 (one main dish + free flow of 20 side dish options) or bara set at $17.90 (chirashi don + free flow of 4 side dish options). While the full buffet had interestingly respectable dishes like whole garlic cloves cooked in Japanese spice, I much preferred the bara set. Topped with an incredibly generous portion of fresh chunky pieces of sashimi like salmon, tuna, scallop, surf clam, swordfish and roe, the chirashi was incredibly indulgent, save for the overpowering sesame dressing. If you're ordering this, you might probably want to request for the dressing on the side. Be sure to head down early; by 12:30pm, the 42-seater was packed with a dozen PMEBs waiting in line. Definitely worth the money, and best of all, you won't need to make a reservation two months in advance. #foodporn #foodreview #foodie #hanare #japanese #food #chirashi #sashimi

At $24.90, this is amazing value! Thick slices of fresh hamachi, salmon, hotate, tuna, tamago, meikajiki and ikura. This is a must-order dish, you will be so satisfied with the quality and quantity of beautiful fish. Tip: order their freshly grated wasabi to truly enjoy your chirashi.

I've heard of the legendary chef who started out at Wasabi Tei, then moved to Chikuwa Tei, and who is now at Mitsuba. Decided to follow the trail and started my chirashi journey here. Already impressed, so I'm keen to find out what the nosh is like at Chikuwa Tei and Mitsuba.

Best chirashi don ever!

So so satisfied.
