Nestled in Singapore's historic Arts House, URESHII sets a high standard for Korean-Japanese fusion, blending authentic flavors with premium ingredients in an intimate setting that's perfect for date nights. This unique spot not only boasts a beautifully crafted ambiance but also serves dishes with rich stories and well-sourced ingredients.
The Abalone Porridge was an instant standout. Prepared with abalone gut and only Jeju Island-sourced abalones, the porridge carried an intense depth of flavor that truly highlighted the unique qualities of this prized ingredient. Each bite offered a silky texture with a hint of briny sweetness, making it a comforting and memorable starter.
Then came the Yental Tonkatsu, a Korean pork cutlet made from high-quality sirloin from Hokkaido. Aged in milk and seasoned to perfection, this Tonkatsu was tender, juicy, and had a beautiful crisp coating. Honestly, it was one of the best Tonkatsu dishes we've had—each slice was succulent, and the flavor was nothing short of impressive.
URESHII doesn't skimp on portions either; each dish was generously served, providing incredible value for money given the premium ingredients and high-quality execution. For anyone looking to experience a creative twist on Korean-Japanese cuisine, URESHII is a must-visit, combining thoughtful dishes with a lovely, inviting atmosphere. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a unique and delicious dining experience in one of Singapore's most charming historic buildings!
Decent slice of firm & smooth cheesecake; taste nothing special; served together with Americano or green tea as part of lunch set..
Black pork sirloin is pounded till tender & lightly seasoned with no gamey taste; coated with a thin layer of bread crumbs & deep-fried till crispy; drizzled with housemade demigras sauce which is savory & rich; personally prefer a thicker & firmer slice of meat..
Porridge made with special abalone gut sauce; taste flavorful & aromatic with addition of sesame oil; texture is more of risotto instead; came with 5 pieces of Jeju abalone which are firm & chewy; portion is slightly small but worth a try..
Miss K and I really enjoyed our omakase meal at Tanoshii, a Korean-Japanese-French fusion restaurant in a beautiful conserved shophouse in the Cairnhill area. I was therefore rather excited to check out their sister restaurant, Ureshii, at the Old Parliament House.
For lunch, Ureshii has a special set menu which is relatively more affordable as compared to their ala carte menu. This includes their signature yetnal tonkatsu or old-school pork cutlet which is made by pounding Hokkaido black pork sirloin and aging it with milk & various seasoning. It is then deep-fried and finally served with a special demigras sauce made by the owner-chef.
Korean tonkatsu is well known for its portions and Ureshii's is no exception. The black pork sirloin cutlet was also tender and juicy and the demigras sauce sweet and tangy. I will highly recommend pairing them with the freeflow kimchi and banchan that is served with it.
I did enjoy my meal but this is rather pricey for a set lunch and rather hard to stomach at nearly $35 after tax. There are also other options nearby which offer better value for money but if the boss is picking up the tab, you know where to go!
This is a egg. Topped with caviar and truffle oil. I would have to say that the combination was good. But price point for an egg, a bit crazy.
