Sushiro Japanese Sushi Singapore

Image
Sushiro  greets  the  Lunar New Year  with the launch of its second  Singapore outlet at Isetan Scotts. The outlet with 124 seats opened on 31 Jan 2020. Aside from catering to a wider audience by offering greater  accessibility along Orchard Road at Isetan Scotts Level 3 (#03 - K1/K2), it is also strategically  located beside Shaw House Cineplex to serve as a quick and convenient meal option. Each dish is  electronically tagged such that staff will be able to monitor and remove and discard unclaimed  dishes after they have travelled 350m on the belt, so as to ensure the restaurant’ s guests  receive only the freshest ingredients at their optimal state for consumption. All ingredients – including the rice grains used in the sushi rice – continue to be procured and  flown in regularly from Japan thanks to Sushiro’s extensive network of s uppliers throughout  the country, with whom it has established longstanding direct trading relationships and hence,  price negotiating power.  Dec

IZA a new restaurant opened recently in the trendy Siglap area. Iza your locaal Izakaya Bar is located at 695 East Coast Road. The people behind The Skewer Bar in Geylang works in collaboration with this new place to come up with a trendy and new menu. Mrupupup went to Iza to try out the food and was pretty yummy. Loved small bites Japanese skewers. This place sells Singapore infused menus with things like Hai Bee Hiam (kind of local spicy shrimp). Another example of fusion way of coming up with dish like putting salted egg into the chawamunsi (Japanese steam egg dish). Another dish would be a the Tomago Otah which had egg rolls wrapping otah pieces (yummy)! The place and food was nice and Mrupupup enjoyed the relaxing nature with cold Asahi beer and Japanese skewer sticks made it a nice evening spent with friends. The menu prices are pretty ok, except for the sea bass fish dish which costs $28. The skewer prices range from $3 to $5. The staff was attentive and the chefs making t

The new pop-up store concept - Tokyo Eater by Shokutsu 10 serves up 3 different style of Tendon bowls at a really affordable price! Prices range from $12 to $15. The fried pieces served were really big pieces like vegetables and prawns. Really good! Got to Nex "Shokutsu 10" at Nex Mall! They introduced the concept of Chazuke style, whereby each rice bowl is served together with a bottle of freshly prepared daishi soup made with bonito from Japan to be mixed into the tendon for a light nourishing taste - a really refreshing experience. With no GST or service charge, good thing for the quantity and quality of food!  Go to Nex Mall Shokutsu 10 at #B1-78 at 23 Serangoon Central. Yummy!!! Check out the video Mrupupup made:

Watanabe Coffee Singapore - Japanese Cafe in Orchard Road

Image
Watanabe Coffee place is a Japanese theme café with Japanese style coffee and desserts. If you like matcha 'green tea' stuff, well this is the place to enjoy matcha and plenty of desserts. Watanabe Coffee opened at Shaw Centre Orchard Road on the ground floor, just next to Isetan Scotts. The place also sells spaghetti, matcha pudding, ice cream, matcha parfait and Shibuya bread toast. Mrupupup ordered the Japanese matcha green tea latte and their swiss roll filled with coffee and caramel. Both orders came up to about $15. The cake and green tea latte were alright. Quite expensive for dessert and coffee, but you are in Orchard Road so expect prices to be steep. Watanabe Café décor looks like a warehouse. Do take note the place gets crowded and try your best not to sit under the spotlights which made Mrupupup hot and uncomfortable in the café. The spotlights were located at one corner of the café. Super bright spotlights! Anyway, enjoy your day at Watanabe Café and enjoy list

Monster Curry at Nex Huge Monster Japanese Curry

Image
Mrupupup went to the newly opened Monster Curry (Japanese) store at Nex #B1-08. Mrupupup ordered the huge (very, very big plate) of Sea Monster curry. Why Sea Monster? Because the huge plate came with rice, lots of hot Japanese curry sauce with 4 prawns tempura style, two scallops and one large fried fish fillet. The signature, dark curry was delicious and spicy.The Monster Curry dish was so big that two persons actually struggled to finish up the curry dish. Well, with big plate means big price of $25 (without GST hor!) - actual was $28.25. Ok, Mrupupup's advice try to get three persons or more if you want to order the HUGE plate curry sauce dish. Monster Curry outlet was popular during meals times. Be prepared to wait for huge groups of people. Besides Sea Monster, there are other types of curry dishes with pork, chicken or seafood. One could choose the cheaper versions around $12 if only one person dines at Monster Curry. Burp! Think too much curry sauce!      

Genki Sushi at Chinatown Point

Image
Mrupupup has been going to this Genki Sushi outlet at Chinatown Point - 133 New Bridge Road (#02-33). Mrupupup loved the smart high tech system in place to order for the Japanese dishes. One could get a little excited when the food train comes with the food and a bit of fun by ordering using the Ipad provided. Just order and the food train would deliver pretty fast within a few minutes. Mrupupup ordered the fresh sushi, tempura rice bowl and the sushi rice bowl. The sushi served by Genki Sushi always tasted 'fresh'. The sushi rice bowl with prawns, fish roe, tuna sushi and swordfish sushi. Mrupupup also liked the tempura rice bowl with the crispy fried pieces of prawn, eggplant, mushroom and pepper. Genki Sushi also provides comfortable sitting and has cups of water (self service). The prices were decent: rice bowls about $7.80, sushi about $2 and handroll with sushi about $2.30. Enjoy sushi with high tech trains!     Yummy salmon handroll     High

Ramen Monster at Novena Square Velocity

Image
The Ramen Monster shop is a Japanese Ramen Noodle shop on the ground floor of Novena Square Velocity (238 Thomson Road Novena Square Velocity #01-53). The ramen restaurant was a small place with very colourful comic murals. Mrupupup ordered regular size of Tonkotsu Ramen $8.90. The shop also sells type of other ramen (menu below). Good that there was no service charge & GST on the menu prices. The colourful wall mural made up for an interesting eating experience and the ramen took about 6 minutes to arrive. The ramen noodle here was tender & chewy and it was good. Mrupupup got a choice of regular fatty or lean char siew meat. The wonderful thing was the shop gave one full egg with nice yolk inside! The soup was yummy and the best thing was it had no MSG!!!!! Mrupupup hates the after taste of MSG which makes one super in need of water after eating ramen. Some shops in Singapore selling ramen could have so much MSG that Mrupupup would be in need of water for the whole day! Si
