From 9², which had recently made its comeback into the F&B scene in Singapore after the closure of Hotel Innotel where it was situated; now located at Dawson Place — a neighbourhood shopping mall in Queenstown.

A pretty simple iteration here; fuss-free without all that marination of the raw fish; just salmon sashimi slices coming with Chili padi for that raw punch of spiciness, while the shallots help to add a crispness to the dish. Not a fan of the warm bed of rice underneath; always found it to be a weird temperature contrast with the raw fish over the top, though the rice also comes with a lightly savoury sauce for some flavour. The Ikura helps to add a umami burst as it pops in the mouth; a pretty decent Donburi spot that is conveniently located in the neighbourhood — not the best, but quality here is pretty respectable to say the least.
