($13) finally tried their original kimbap but we didnt ordered tuna as my friend she didn't liked it sadly. but they really well prepared their kimbap freshly made when someone ordered from the counter. Their kimbap really made me so full and also got strong sesame sauce aftertaste.

($18) I don't really wanted to eat something spicy tbh but then kimchi got not that strong sour aftertaste tbh. But at least they give a lot of ingredients such as pork belly, kimchi, and glass noodle inside the stew and also quite decent stew btw.

Established in April 1992, this 2nd-generation stall is popular for its wide variety of tasty and value-for-money dishes, served in a casual setting.
.
Their rendition has tender boneless mutton chunks simmered in a rich thick tomato, plain yoghurt, and red onion curry gravy, spiced with Kashmiri red chili, cardamom, cinnamon, cloves, and other aromatic spices. Finished with fresh coriander.
.
Carries mild savoury spice sweet earthy meaty flavour, with a touch of vegetal sour tangy notes. Amongst the standout dishes here.

[BEAUTY WORLD, SINGAPORE] Having tried @tsukijikaisendon, I had to try @zushishou knowing that they are from the same owners. Undoubtedly, their sashimi quality is similar though I find myself liking the seasoned sushi rice from Tsukiji more.

Their Kaisen Don 🐟 ($20.90) is really a sight to behold. Incredibly thick sashimi slices of hamachi, salmon and scallops is really the dream of every sashimi lover. Their hamachi is probably my favourite, due to its sweet, clean and fatty flavour. I don't think I need to say much given the visuals of the bowl 🤣 really worth it considering how much sashimi you're getting!

If you like variety, their Irodori Chirashi Don 🐟 ($19.90) might be your go-to. The sashimi here is chunky, and you get tuna, mackerel and a tiny bit of uni in addition to the ones mentioned above. The uni is my favourite, as it was like a shot of seafood flavour that was intense but clean.

Somehow the rice here seems under seasoned as compared to that of Tsukiji, but still good! My only other gripe is that their using some kind of wasabi paste, not the freshly grated one but I guess it's difficult to achieve that given the affordable price point.

Definitely coming back for more!

($10.90) Matcha Made Me Do It Series
Matcha Black Sesame taste like earthy and also strong but then bitter taste in between; Matcha Brown Sugar Mochi taste like sweet but savoury and chewy taste but remind me of bbtea aftertaste; Matcha White Choco Caramel Fudge taste like sweet but I don't like it recommend.

($6.30) It's so good and delicious for the pan fried bun and inside filling. As it's my second time to try it out for pan fried bun tbh.

($7.60) not bad but then the noodles was slightly soft to chew through tbh. But the sauce texture was quite thick tbh.

A rare example of a rendition that has only gotten better, improving with time.
.
As long as a forearm, the thick chunky rendition has thin crisp pan-fried dough folded and layered with a generous helping of ingredients. Love that it's non-greasy.
.
Includes wispy chicken egg, crisp red onions, and a choice of either tender turmeric spiced minced mutton, or chewy shredded chicken.
.
Has addictive smoky bready eggy meaty vegetal salty savoury spice flavour. Wholesome sides of fresh lettuce and crisp cucumber, both with vegetal sweet flavour.

Tried to hide from the morning cold (because brrr 🥶)… but my folk had other plans and dragged me out to run errands today. 😅

Thankfully, I ended up being rewarded with a hearty plate of thick, chunky and tender brisket braised in savoury gravy, paired with springy noodles, soft radish and slippery jelly tendons that totally made my day! ❤️

(2 for $5) it's quite milky and not that creamy texture. more lean towards than sorbet texture. melted very fast tbh.
