Ordered the don together with the set. I love the Japanese Dashi Soup!! It was very flavourful. The mixture of ingredients in the don was quite decent but still kind of ordinary.

We tried the Warayaki Aburi Kaisen Maze Soba ($16.90), which is similar to the kaisen don except that this comes with dry ramen tossed in sauce instead of rice. While the taste is good, the combination of thick ramen, sashimi and the decadent sauce is a little too heavy for me - some vinegar to cut through the strong flavours will be nice.

We ordered the Ochazuke Set ($4) to go with our kaisen don. Towards the end of the meal, a hot stone is added to a bowl of lobster soup to heat it up and the soup is poured into the remaining kaisen don and topped with spring onion, rice crackers, seaweed and a dash of calamansi juice. The lobster soup is rich and flavourful and the end product reminds me of a hearty 泡饭, love it!

The star of the night is definitely the Tokusen Warayaki Aburi Kaisen Don ($16.90), which comes with a generous serving of aburi salmon, aburi maguro (tuna), squid, aburi hamachi (yellow tail), negitoro (minced tuna), ebi soboro (minced prawn) and tobiko (flying fish roe). The sashimi is very fresh and it goes well with the runny half-boiled egg and sesame soya sauce.

Replacing Omurice Keisuke at Bugis+ L4, Aburi Kaisen Don Keisuke is a relatively new concept by @ramen_keisuke, offering fresh and authentic Japanese Kaisen Don at wallet-friendly prices. Interestingly, they use the Warayaki style of cooking whereby Japanese Rice Straw is burnt to create big flames to aburi the seafood ingredients and add a nice smoky aroma!🤤
