Pasta with uni, sakura ebi, ikura and truffle mushroom cream sauce. The uni was fresh and creamy which complemented very well with the al-dente truffle pasta. I like how the taste of truffle was prominent yet not too overpowering. Also not forgetting the sakura ebi that added crunch and the bursting flavours from the ikura 😍 》$47

Flaky and velvety baked black cod fillet coated with special soy marinated with slight hints of sweetness. The skin was crispy and the cod practically melts in the mouth with a rich and buttery texture 🤤 》$43

Nobu-ya is a famous authentic Japanese izakaya located at level 1 of Fortune Centre. The basic izakaya rules apply and everyone has to order drinks to dine here hence this is not a place for you if you don’t/can’t drink.

The menu always changes based on the availability of ingredients. My favourite is the perfectly grilled miso red perch that was melt-in-the-mouth tender with a delicate buttery texture. The sake-steamed asari clams were fresh and plump, served steaming hot in a light and clear sake broth. Soy braised pork belly was soft, tender and flavourful, accompanied by greens for the extra crunch. I also tried their Japanese fried rice with pacific saury and mushroom which was tasty but maybe a little fishy for some. Overall it’s a great place to chill out with friends after work without burning a hole in your pocket.

Meats are cooked with a choice of garlic shoyu, ginger, black pepper, spicy miso or mustard cream sauce, served with beansprouts. They also have matchmaker to help complete your meal with different sets that come with a bowl of plain white/egg/garlic fried rice, miso soup, orange slices and onion ring chawanmushi. price ranges from $3.90 to $8.90

Yaki Yaki Bo also has the option of dining at the teppanyaki table served by the chefs or a normal table where the staff will bring cooked food to you. I got myself sliced pork with garlic shoyu and garlic rice set. The texture and thickness of the pork slices were good but the garlic shoyu sauce lacks flavour. Garlic fried rice was fragrant, fried with Japanese rice, garlic and butter. Beansprouts were cooked to a nice crunch with carrot and onion. Waiting time can get really long during peak hours with slower service but overall still an affordable and reasonable teppanyaki meal 》$11.90 + $5.90 Garlic Rice Set

Uni on uni! This was the last course and it is also the reason why I would recommend going for the 18-Course Sea Urchin Menu. We get a small rice bowl of uni mixed with Japanese rice, topped with uni pieces, ikura and a dollop of wasabi. I am already salivating just by looking at what goes into the rice bowl. Every single rice grain is coated with creamy uni and with the ikura bursting in my mouth with every bite, it is just packed with umami goodness. The meal ended with a light and refreshing bowl of miso soup to cleanse our palate.

This is one of the most affordable and reasonably priced omakase in town. It is an 8 seater restaurant hence it is not possible to get a seat without a reservation. Their omakase is priced at $98 or $128 which includes sea urchin. I thought it would be worth diving straight into their sea urchin menu since it isn't exactly easy to reserve a seat. Reservations are open 30 days in advance.

For starters, we had the Hijiki seaweed salad seasoned with soya sauce and cooking sake. It has a combination of slightly salty, sweet and savoury flavours which serves as a refreshing appetiser. Next, we have salt-sprinkled edamame served warm, followed by onsen tamago with truffle soy sauce. The truffle onsen egg comes with a soft runny yolk, accompanied by bursting flavours of ikura and truffle aroma.

Towards the end of the meal (before the rice bowl), we were served a crab meat handroll wrapped in seaweed and rice. It was sweet, simple and delicious!

Squid with smelt roe tempura that came lightly crisp, not oily and very addictive! An excellent and yummy snack to share 》$6.30

Seaweed tempura topped with a glorious serving of fresh and creamy sea urchin, shoyu and truffle caviar. The generous serving of uni makes it creamy and soft as it melted inside my mouth, finishing off with a crackle from the seaweed 》$24 (2 pcs)

Thanks Burpple for the invite and Saketoshi for hosting 🙂

The perfect finger food to go with cold sake is this deep-fried squid tentacles coated in a crunchy batter and deep-fried to firm-to-the-bite yet not rubbery texture. Dip it with the accompanying ghost pepper mayo for completeness. The ghost pepper mayo dip was surprisingly not as fiery and tongue-tingling as I thought it would be 》$15

Deep-fried breaded oysters with airy, light and crispy coating. Make use of the beyond deal to get 30% off total bill 》$15 (6 pcs)

Thanks Burpple for the invite and Saketoshi for hosting 🙂

Deep-fried Hokkaido scallops fried to a nice chewy texture, topped with crunchy tobiko and bursting umami flavours of ikura. I thought this was priced on the high side considering the size and portion of two scallops. This is when the 30% off total bill beyond deal can be put to good use 😛 》$24

I'm in a relationship with food. Why can't we just declare our never ending love and vows towards some food item? I'm sure that would not result in divorces.
