Happy to know that Sushiro is finally here in the North!!! They serve rly good quality sushi at affordable prices – red plates $2.20, yellow plates $3.20 and black plates $4.80.

Some of the must-trys include fatty tuna sushi ($2.20 or $4.80) good old salmon sushi ($2.20), inari ($2.20 because of how sweet it was!) and some of their fried stuffs like the tempuras which were done really well. There are also other dishes which we’ve tried at the Tiong Bahru outlet like the tuna with green onion and yellowtail sushi. They’re all very fresh and super worth it.

Total damage for 2 pax was about ~$30

This bowl of ramen came with wholegrain ramen noodles, thin slices of cha shu that came with bits of fats which made it a lot yummier, and lots of other crunch bits like tomato and radish cubes. I’d like to think that the charcoal flavour added more flavour to the tonkotsu soup. The use of wholegrain noodles is quite smart because that means that the noodles won’t turn soggy despite being in the soup for some time.

This was a very confusing experience. The first time they served us our truffle fries, they came really cold. It wasn’t even warm, just straight out cold, and oily + soggy (feels like it’s been left out in the kitchen for a long time before they brought it to us)

So we requested for a change which they kindly agreed to and thankfully the refried truffle fries were a lot nicer. This time round it was piping hot so the fries weren’t oily and soggy. Good amount of truffle oil!

This came with mixed sashimi cubes with bits of tamago cubes, cucumber for a refreshing crunch, some tobiko and shoyu sauce for topping.

Taste wise, this was quite alright. We thought it was quite decent but we all agreed that we had better chirashi bowls. The good thing about this is that it’s quite value for money! Ingredients are fresh as well :)

Tanuki Raw at Jewel (together with The World Is Flat bar) has a slightly different menu. Being one of the cheapest dons on the menu, the portion was quite value for money! You can see that they gave quite a bit of chicken, nicely cooked and well-marinated with garlic teriyaki sauce. You may want to request for less sauce (or separate) as I felt like the sauce was a bit too much. Onsen egg was cooked perfectly and went well with the dish!

First time trying Fugetsu Okonomiyaki and we ordered one of their Yakisobas to try. Be careful not to leave your yakisoba on the hot stone for too long (even though it’s fun to let it cook and sizzle) because the noodles will become hard. Flavour was so-so. Didn’t come with a lot of ingredients even though we topped up for the large size (few pieces of pork slices and cabbage). Omelette with chili and mayo sauce was good though!
