Food

This is a hidden gem!
This experience at Shukuu inspired me to want to try more of such under-discovered eateries! We went upon recommendation from a Friend and it blew my mind! I never knew the satisfaction found from these little eateries.

We were first served by Mario, who was extremely friendly and detailed with his recommendations. The place was an ideal to just chill for a good cup of sake and some snacks after a Long and tiring day at work.

MUST-ORDERS:
I'm caught between 2 of my favourites that were recommended by the Chef, and could only be uniquely found at Shukuu.

First, their grilled beef tongue. Like omg. I could taste a myriad of intricate Flavours that blended bloody good! It was extremely juicy (and Not dry) and The slightly chewy texture was just a perfect match. This is the first time I had beef grilled tongue and hands-down the only shop I will patronise for beef tongue! Like omg - they nailed it to perfection.

Secondly, I extremely love the parmesan Chizu chips that was coupled with honey and tomatoes. It was like no matter how many I ate, I didn't have the "gelat" feel because the cheese taste was light and not overpowering. I don't know what's the sorcery behind this thing but it left me craving for more even as I type. I could literally taste the slight saltiness from the cheese and the sweetness from the honey and tomatoes. Totally recommended even for non-cheese lovers!

Third on my list would be the "Chef's selection Skewers". We had the lightly grilled Mushrooms which was lightly salted that totally brought out the flavour. The Meatballs were handmade and we could taste the freshness from the ingredients - completely unlike what we had tasted before. The Wings were perfectly marinated and grilled - with a slight sweetness and tinge of bitterness from the grill. but the BEST would be the Beef cubes! It was juicy with great layers of fats that melted in my mouth.

Unique choices:
The deep Friend squid in squid ink tempura flour was unique. Although the flour was not as thick as others, I'm not a fan of deep Friend food, so I didn't really like it. My fiancé, though, really loved it because it was so different from the ones he ate outside. The flour was not as salty, and had great flavour.

The hotate and salmon sashimi were fresh and generous in servings!

Well-known for:
Their most well-known for their sake and I can understand why. There was a bitter-sweet after taste that lingers in my mouth for the rest of the night.

Overall, this was SO MUCH MORE WORTH than the more raved japanese outlets I've patronised. It was priced lower than some of the big names out there but Super worth the price!
