AiJIAK

We had a decent meal. However the service was a total turn off. Our food wasn't finished and we were chatting. Told rather rudely that people outside were waiting for very long. Begrudgingly we tried to finish our food and get the bill. Headed out and no one was there. What? Just one person was completely rude though and unfortunately seems to be the person calling the shots. Rest of the staff were ok. A pity really.

It's not open anymore..?

By the good folks behind Standing Sushi Bar and Tanuki Raw comes this Donburi-focused stall. Located in 100AM, Salmon Samurai serves a great Salmon Bowl ($9.90) with fresh salmon brought in on a daily basis and only prepared a la order. There are four ways to have your salmon — raw, poke, grilled or mentaiyaki (our Burpple Community's favourite). The latter sees smoky yet creamy mentai sauce flamed to perfection — just like the stellar scallop mentaiyaki available at Standing Sushi Bar. Choose to have your salmon over a bed of udon, brown rice or salad and ask to top up with half an Avocado ($1.50), Onsen Egg ($1) or Ebiko ($1) if you want more flavour, although the bowl is satisfying enough on its own. Pro tip: Complete your donburi with a side of Salmon Miso Soup ($2) — Burpple Tastemaker Justin Teo praises it for being great value, considering it comes chock full of soft salmon chunks and mushrooms.
Avg Price: $15 per person

Boasting tasty ramen in an excellent location in the bustling Holland Village, Sanpoutei sets itself apart from most other ramen restaurants through its unique ramen broth. Their signature stock is clear and made with a mixture of vegetables, chicken, pork bone and 2 kinds of dried sardines imported directly from Japan. The addition of fish into their broth adds a definitively different flavour as compared to the purely pork-based broths of many other competitors. What's more, their noodles are made in-house with a special noodle-making machine. Go for their signature Niigata Shoyu Ramen, or the Rich Tori x Spicy Miso Ramen if you're in for a spicy kick!
