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 [...]

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 [...]

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.

It’s time for another omakase in the month of November at the Standing Sushi Bar! Appetizer: Tamago sushi Love the tamago sushi that Kawa-san makes! Chunky but still light and tasty!

Tuesday’s Awesome Omakase!

Posted by: alkanphel on: October 21, 2009

Aperitif: Yuzu umeshu This is an umeshu on the rocks that includes the juice of the yuzu fruit, which makes it more sour and have a dash of bitterness. Quite refreshing actually.

Return of the omakase!

Posted by: alkanphel on: September 19, 2009

I went for a more powerful omakase dinner at the Standing Sushi Bar this time round! 1st course: Vermicelli with spicy sesame oil dressing I thought this was chuuka kurage (jellyfish) at first since this dressing is usually used with jellyfish for an appetizer.
