Sushi

The bara chirashi are different from others. The rice, sashimi, seaweed, pickles etc are separated in diff bowls. So we can make our own bara chirashi.

Ultimate sushi porn. Singapore has no lack of good sushi places.

Came on a Thursday and enjoyed the salmon sashimi promo.

It goes for 5 slices for $3 and I must say you really get a bang for your buck. Ordered 40 slices for my friend and myself and the Gohan set which consists of a miso soup, hot tea and a bowl of piping hot rice.

Salmon sashimi was no doubt fresh, so sinful and silky. Bonus points for being thickly cut but not too thick such that it is a mouthful.

Highly recommended but do take note that only the Queen Street outlet has the lunch and dinner time promo while the other 2 has the dinner time one.

Teppei's seasoning has always been a hit-or-miss. Unfortunately, I'm not a fan of the saltiness it. They were generous with the sashimi though, and it was relatively fresh for the price you're paying. Had several bowls here already, and I can honestly say that the quality had been consistent. The Kaisen don at Teppei daidokoro is even more substantial, with a seemingly larger portion of sashimi for a slightly higher price.

Finally tried the Truffle Kaisendon ($19.80)! Smell of truffle was apparent once you opened the lid, but the taste was otherwise.
If you are lucky, you can get a few pieces of tuna with truffle flavour on its own, without rice! Can barely taste the truffle on salmon though. So perhaps it makes more sense to stick to the original Kaisendon!

The uni was undoubtedly sweet which was evident from the beautiful hue of gold, but the rest were equally pleasant to the tastebuds. My favourite sashimi, hamachi, shone through with a little dollop of grated ginger (in shoyu) on top, giving more nuanced flavour to the buttery flesh. I was also surprised with the quality of the chutoro and otoro that instantaneously melted in my mouth, making it an effortless journey to cloud nine. The addition of caviar and truffle paste, respectively, gave more magic to the already-heavenly piece of nigiri.

What I mean by that is The Sushi Bar's generous propensity to serve thick slices of sashimi over your rice. I come back here time and time again, and they certainly do not compromise on the cuts.
This meticulously assembled Normal Chirashi Don [$24.9+] is my go-to bowl whenever I need my sashimi fix - I mean, a good variety and fresh, substantial bites, I would go as far to say that this is the one of the most reasonably priced Chirashi bowls out there!
During this visit, I was pleasantly surprised when they increased the portion of sushi rice below; this was great for my seemingly bottomless pit of a stomach.
P.S. I always go to their original branch at Far East Plaza. Call me a loyal fan, but the prices at their Takashimaya branch are a bit more marked up (due to the commercial location I conspire). They do have a larger variety of dishes there, though!

Pictured: normal chirashi bowl. Always serving up fresh and generous slices of sashimi. I've tried other items from their menu such as the mentaiko pasta, and their makis, this place can never go wrong. Queuing/getting a table at peak hours is probably the only downside to this place cause I don't think they take reservations.

Ample servings of various types of raw fish but the rice seems a little bland. Do check out their daily specials though
