Expected more from this place but the portion and presentation of food just looks sad.
For $8.80, there is just a few pieces of chicken cutlet on top of a bed of rice served in a paper bowl. Chicken cutlet was average, dry and didn’t go well with the mentaiko sauce imo. Rice was dry and slightly mushy too. Just a very average don in a coffee shop - but quite pricey. Will not come back again.
mentaiko sauce overload but I'm not complaining. very filling to the point of almost jerlat. rice can be more moist. teriyaki sauce can be more generous.
J is a big fan of the salmon mentaiko don from @donyasingapore.
We were therefore keen to check out Mentai-Ya in (nearish) Seng Kang which specializes in the same dish.
Visual-wise, they look the same but Mentai-Ya's mentaiko sauce is milder compared to Donya's. However, their fish is more tender than Donya's which can be a little dry at times. It is slightly smaller in terms of portions as well.
If you prefer stronger flavours, Donya is probably the better bet but if you like something a little milder, do give @mentaiyasingapore a shot.
Just for the bite. Not so crispy by the time it arrived but nonetheless, its still pretty tasty. Thanks to the mentaiko. Haha.

Sweet rolled-egg that give a pleasant sensation when eaten. The Mentai sauce and the egg flavour can be tasted differently distinctively on its own separately although when eaten together. It's a Yum. Sweet-savoury all at once.

A classic piece. Chopped Unagi, fried egg and caramelised onion over sticky rice in savoury sauce, sprinkled with spring onion. Unagi was soft and holds a meaty texture. Sweetness of it was just right.
