For a weekday treat-yourself meal, look to this Japanese resto housed in Thomson Plaza. If you're a fan of fresh salmon sashimi over vinegared rice, the Salmon Zukuchi Donburi ($19) is up your alley. Otherwise, the Aigamo Smoke Donburi ($16.80) featuring juicy smoked duck with crispy skin should do just fine. *Save even more with stackable in-house deals like 1-for-1 Sake on Tuesdays & Sashimi on Fridays!
