Dos And Dons

Their Satay Pork Collar Onigiri Don features satay pork collar which somehow reminds me of bulgogi, homemade achar, onsen egg and egg floss blanketing the rice. Savoury and flavourful, this was a pretty filling bowl and is sure to induce food coma after you wipe the bowl clean.

Located in the food court of Edgedale Plains is the unassuming FukuDon , where they specialise in donburis. They are extremely value for money, considering the quality of the ingredients used, with price point below $10 for all of the items listed on the menu apart from the Wagyu Onigiri Don.

If you can only try 1 dish due to limited stomach space, go with the Wagyu Onigiri Don. This hearty bowl consists of a bed of rice, topped with soy marinated wagyu slices seared to a luscious pink, ajitsuke tamago and crunchy pickled cucumber sprinkled with furikake. They were really generous with the ingredients, given the fact that the rice can barely be seen 😂

Came here for a quick dinner and decided on the Salmon & Roe Rice Bowl! Loaded with marinated salmon and ikura, the rice maintained its individualism, absorbing whatever flavours that seep into them, making each bite gratifying. Wasn't given wasabi and soy sauce to go along with my don as I was kindly warned by the staff that it was already marinated, so additional sauce may make it too salty but I didn't find it savoury enough and asked for it anyways 😂. The service here was impeccable, with friendly and observant staff and I can see myself being a returning customer!

Had the chance to try a couple of their donburi and other dishes as well:

> Beef Steak Don
> Saba Don
> Salmon Don
> Buta Yaki Don
> Tori Kara Udon
> Samurai Unagi Aburi Maki

The most memorable don has got to be the Spicy Salmon Aburi Don. Somewhat like a deconstructed Champion Floss Maki, the salmon pieces were piled atop the rice, along with golden globes of ikura that burst in your mouth with every bite. Again, the sauce can be a little rich so it does bogged you down after a while.

The Saba Kimchi Avocado Don was another intriguing bowl, with Grilled Saba Fish paired with a kimuchee and avocado mixture, with leafy greens served on the side. Was a little apprehensive initially but found the kimchi and avocado combination to be decently tasty! The Saba fish was pretty textbook though, flavourful and tender, with nothing much to shout about. A bowl of miso soup is all you need to complete this rice bowl!

Was treated to a feast at Ichiho! Featuring mostly Japanese dishes with a Western element, what I like best out of all the dishes I tried has to be the Katsu Curry Don. The curry sauce carpet bombs the bowl with umami when you mix them together, with the Miyazaki Pork Katsu fried to a crispy, golden brown and supplying flavour of its own. As per all the Dons served here, they come with 2 wedges, which was a rather uncommon sight for a Japanese don, though it doesn't affect the taste much.

Much has been said about the dons here and I’ve finally succumb to it and got them delivered to my place. These fresh ingredients were all nicely marinated and reasonably priced and makes for a scrumptious lunch or dinner! My fave has to be their Signature don which I upgraded to Large size which got me beyond full 🤩

What a joy it is, to finally have a taste of their food. Been wanting to give their omakase a try for some time now, but have never found the time to do it. The bowl comes loaded with ikura, uni and toro, with rice filling the bottom of the bowl. Despite being smothered with toppings above it, the rice maintain their individualism. Their texture is as pleasing as how they look, absorbing whatever flavors that seep into them and transmitting them with a gratifying chew. ⁣

Had late lunch and everywhere else was closed at 4pm. Looked through @burpple and found this gem which I had forgotten about. Putting Burpple Beyond to good use once again by getting the beef don 😋 comforting lunch indeed

Guess the hype for this has finally died down because the place was fairly empty when I patronised them for dinner. Fluffy, smooth and runny eggs towering over my tomato rice is always a good thing but taste wise, it was nothing mind blowing. There were chicken chunks mixed in the rice but the quantity was abysmal. This might be one of the more disappointing outlets under the Keisuke brand but definitely one of the more affordable options. ⁣⁣

This Mt. Chirashi needs no introduction, with its instagrammable and skyscraper features of marinated diced seafood atop a mountain of rice. Clearly incapable of conquering this mountainous task, yet undeniably greedy, decided to order it to share instead. Rice is always a good option when you’re starving and wants 1000 of something~ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Came here for their lunch promo, with different bowls of donburi daily going at just $6.50! The daily special I got the other day was their Sambal Squid, consisting of deep fried anchovy, sous vide egg, greens, cilantro and really chewy squid with their homemade sambal glaze. They mean business with their sambal, which packs a fiery punch with every mouthful. Every bowl comes with miso soup which was refillable (yay!) overall pretty value for money given the price point! ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
