[CLOSED] Donabe (PLQ)

Oyakodon flavours, but with claypot. Pretty good, just don't expect fluffy eggs

I'm not sure if I've ever had Jap food this good at this price. I mean it's almost hawker prices man. Also the usual portion is meant for 2 for really good reason, it's very addictive. Props to the creativity of this place too

A variety of mushrooms, all cooked exceptionally well. The flavour profile is that of a classic Japanese sweet mildly savoury kind. Very comforting and less oily. The onsen egg is abit weird cos it gets scrambled but otherwise still v good.

Unbelievable at this price

Masterful execution. Pork Jowl was so incredibly tender, bouncy and fatty without being greasy, and as you can tell it's charred well on the exterior. Everything else worked well too to support the pork Jowl. Only complaint is the pool of oil at the bottom.

I won't say it's a must try because many places do a good one, but at this price it's a mad steal and highly recommend for sure. This place is a gem, come before the crowd slowly but surely builds up.

PS the bigger one comes w crispy pork. Idk what pork it is but sounds good.

🇯🇵 JAPANESE CLAYPOT 🍙 swipe to end of the best part😉❤️ @donabe.sg took over the space of makino at @payalebarquarter serving quality claypot Japanese nights rice cooked with premium dashi made with aged katsuobushi (tuna bonito) and hidaka kombu 💕
…
Surprisingly the best of them all is their VEGETARIAN - KINOKO MUSHROOM DONABE🌱 it’s so flavorful with the mix of crispy seasoned seaweed, oriental mushroom, caramelised onions and onsen egg 🍳✨
…
Next would be the UNAGI which is grilled and soft on the inside paired well with egg floss and cured fish 😋
…
Another mention would be their KAISEN for strong flavored lovers 🥰the salty unami blend of dried scallops, Sakura ebi, sea prawn and shrimp roe topped with crispy salmon skin is just a crunch on crisp flavors of the sea 🌊✨together with its salt😅😂
…
They got a good range of sides to add on as well e.g. Aburi iberiko 🐷
…
💡: go for their lunch set which would be most value for your money💰starting from $8.90 per pax ☺️ thanks for the invite 💕

Iberiko buta don has grilled Iberiko pork jowl placed beautifully on top of the rice, flavourful and easy to bite. Who can resist bbq meat anyway. Kinoko don in short is the mushroom rice bowl, with mixture of mushrooms, onsen egg at the top and topped with seaweed for the extra texture. Kaki don is more unique, it comes with sous-vide Hiroshima oysters and pacific clams! Definitely the more premium pick. My favourite item is their Saba Age ($12)! For someone who don’t really like saba fish, that thin crispy coating is such a joy, together with spicy sesame sauce it is so addictive!

A nice side dish to have alongside the donabes! We liked the combination of crispy mackerel with the spicy sesame sauce!
