Singapore #018 - The Sushi Bar

Often I passed by this sushi shop after getting my nails done at Daisy Shop in Far East Plaza.
At night, it always has very long queue. Today, I had to wait 1 hour to get my nail fixed at Daisy Shop.
I gave it a go and queued for some sushi… I queued for close to 1 hour to get myself a seat at the sushi bar counter. The waitress was telling me that in future if i'm dining alone, i could just go up to them to ask if there's a seat before queuing up...



The waiter there took my order was quite nice and friendly. He asked if I would like to try something new that is not in the menu. If the waiter doesn't inform you, do ask him/her.

Tonight's special was Monkfish Liver, Ankimo
It tasted quite similar to Foie Gras. It comes in a plate of 3pcs.
Very affordable price, fresh and authentic (tasted exactly the same as the one I tried in Tokyo)!


Ankimo (S$14.90)
Unlike the usual thin slices of fish, the sashimi here are sliced thicker.
The fish served is fresh and chewy. I think they are much nicer than the ones I tried in Tsukiji Fish Market. 
3-Kind (S$14.90)
Lastly, the highly recommended Salmon Aburi Roll by many blog reviews.
I was googling for blog reviews on this shop when I was queuing.
The fish is tender that it kind of melts in your mouth without much effort to chew.
Salmon Aburi Roll (S$14.50)
Note: They do reservations only for weekday till 7.30pm. And the most important thing, they only accept cash so do bring enough cash and enjoy cheap (no GST & service charge) and good food!

Singapore #017 - Tsukada Nojo Bijin Nabe

You just long for a pot of simmering soup on a rainy cold day…
That's what I crave for the past few days and finally I got to satisfy it on Sunday.


Its decoration and small shop area reminds me of those nabe restaurants in Shinagawa, Tokyo.
If you want to eat Tsukada Nojo, you need to come and queue early otherwise their waiting list will be full by around 6.30pm. We queued around 5pm and still had to wait till 6.45pm before we got our seats.

We ordered nabe for 4pax (S$25++ per pax).
It was served in jelly form and under the stove, it would slowly melt and becomes the soup base.

Before
After
The set comes with big chunks of chicken, prawns, enoki mushrooms, chicken paste (to make into chicken balls), noodles, watermelon radish, fried bean curd (known as taupok) and variety of veggies.




We also ordered onigiri (rice ball) and chicken salad.

Onigiri (S$3.80++ each) - Chili and Yuzu flavored
Chicken Salad with Sour Plum Sauce ($5.80++)
To welcome our second visit, we are all promoted to Manager! And there's complimentary Edaemame and french fries.





After your meal, they will also serve you complimentary dessert.

There's another outlet in Chinatown and they do accept reservation before 6pm. Not only that, I heard from the staff that there's another outlet opening in the Westgate this month. Can't wait for its opening since it's near to my work place!
