This tiny stall in the hawker centre gives similar eateries and even some popular Japanese restaurants a run for their money. Huge and crunchy breaded prawns on a bed of seasoned short-grain rice is made extra delicious with a runny egg and generous dollop of sweet caramelised onions infused with the savoury flavours of a good dashi stock.

Cost? 5-odd dollars. Satisfaction? Priceless. Return visits are guaranteed with the wide variety of Japanese bento sets that come in equally generous portions, such as huge slabs of teriyaki salmon and crispy chicken cutlets.

Not prepared to brave the snaking lunch queue? Go early during dinner before they close at 8pm. FYI: They are closed on Saturdays.
