- vegan chicken rice ($6, +$0.10 for takeaway box) in bottom right corner
tried this vegan chicken rice from Green Bliss Habitat recently and i have to say it was a good meal fr!
tried the rice first and i have to say it doesnβt quite taste like your typical chicken rice rice (well because itβs vegan), but in a good way. the rice retains the gingery aroma of its animal-infused (?) counterpart, and there was some sort of unique herbal taste to it.
the fake chicken was made of beancurd sheets, like the tau kee at those vegetarian beehoon stalls. i quite liked the fake chicken, but disclaimer that iβm a big enjoyer of tau kee so if youβre not into that taste wise or texturally maybe you wouldnβt like this as much. the chicken βmeatβ was skillfully crafted by folding over the tau kee to mimick the special patterns of meat, and the chicken βskinβ was light and crispy (not sure what they use for this tho).
they gave a packet of chili sauce but i donβt like spice so i didnβt try it lol sorry chili lovers
overall itβs def worth a try especially for curious tastebuds! but i thought more of the βchickenβ wouldβve been given, given the price point (but i do understand that it takes skill to make vegan chicken) π
- pork and chicken 100g (not sure price)
- beef karubi 100g ($10.90)
i added on one more plate of 100g beef karubi and it was $6
overall nice place at dine at! was a little disappointed with the seating as my friend and i sat opposite each other, next to other couples/friends and it was kind of awkward and made it hard to hear each other. but after a while i got used to it la
really liked the texture of the beef slices, it was thinner (which is what i like) and paired well with the sauces!
there were around 4 sauces available (garlic soy/bbq/spicy miso/sea salt) along with other things like chilli and seasonings.
each set came with a bowl of rice (u get to pick how big) and soup which i absolutely LOVED
one thing was that the grill kept catching on fire which was scary lol (but itβs rather normal for yakiniku i guess)
overall would def come back if iβm craving yakiniku! would like to try other yakiniku places as well
we tried this new (i think) hamburg steak curry udon! it was quite pricey at $15.90 nett but we wanted to give it a go c: not sure how much the tempura was
β¦ as much as i would like to say i havenβt wasted my dollars, i think i have π imo the udon was kinda mid for the price, the curry udon was nice but the hamburg was quite tough and kinda dry for some reason?? which was quite saddening bc we were really looking forward to the hamburg steak
maybe itβs just because iβm not much of a udon person (?) but this was a failed venture! will be going back to mapo tofu don or kitsune udon for future idaten visits
- kitsune udon
- meat free mapo tofu don with seaweed tempura
we got extra servings of tempura bits along with our orders!
mapo tofu don was actually unbelievably good. like i went back to idaten and got it 2 more times good. a tad oily but i think itβs worth the grease
kitsune udon was nice but iβm not really a udon person π«¨
seaweed tempura was SO CRUNCHY but it became quite stale after a while so eat ur tempura early
already went back π
