Kaikaya Redux

Posted by: alkanphel on: November 8, 2011

Yes I’m back again at Kaikaya, which I first visited back in 2009 and wrote about it. I liked it so much that I decided to return to Kaikaya again this time to try some other dishes there.

Hirosaku

Hirosaku is a homely little restaurant that is family-run, helmed by a fatherly chef and his very kind wife. Sometimes at night their daughter helps them out as well.

Unlike Singapore where most of the top Japanese restaurants tend to be cloistered in hotels, in Tokyo even the Michelin 3 star restaurants are hidden down obscure alleys, just a door in the face of an nondescript building.

Suzunari

Posted by: alkanphel on: August 18, 2011

Suzunari is a cosy little restaurant located deep in the heart of Yotsuya San-chrome, buried down in those narrow alleyways. It’s actually a bit hard to find if they didn’t have a whole bunch of flowers outside.

Nagomi Redux

Posted by: alkanphel on: December 31, 2010

This is my 2nd time eating at Nagomi and it’s still as good as the 1st time I visited them a year back. Very good for small intimate dinners or gatherings, and for those who want that authentic Japanese feel for their dining place. Appetizers Potato salad and fried salmon chunks. Simple but tasty!

The Omakase with the Fish Sperm

Posted by: alkanphel on: November 30, 2010

The Standing Sushi Bar recently opened a new outlet at Queen Street, now known as their “8Q” outlet. Contrary to its name, this SSB outlet has seats! And a much larger floor space to boot as well. Their dinner omakase operations have now shifted to 8Q, which allows them to provide a greater variety of dishes due [...]

The omakase with the white tuna

Posted by: alkanphel on: July 27, 2010

This is probably going to be my last omakase at the UOB Standing Sushi Bar as they are opening a new branch at 8QSAM which is where they’ll handle the omakase dinners as the kitchen will be bigger. Aperitif: Black soybean wine This is a pretty rare drink – black soybeans fermented with alcohol. It is like a [...]

The omakase with a sea robin

1st course: Hokkigai sashimi salad Hokkigai is known as surf clam and it is one of the most identifiable sashimi due to its bright red colouring on one side. It has a clean and crisp texture, moreso than the other shellfish I’ve had for sashimi. The crunchy texture provide a good contrast with the Japanese [...]

April Omakase!

Posted by: alkanphel on: April 18, 2010

It’s been some time since I got my omakase fix at the Standing Sushi Bar so I trotted down in the middle of a sweltering April to get it! My friend joined me on this one and the photos are taken using his DSLR. Huge difference from my usual photos!! 1st course: Japanese fish cake [...]

February Omakase

Posted by: alkanphel on: March 1, 2010

1st course: Japanese salad This warm appetizer is built on a base of Mizuno greens which looks very similar to rocket but has a milder taste. Rounding it up is a mix of toppings – tomatoes, tofu, avocado, pan-fried shiitake mushrooms and sesame seeds.
