Besides freshly grilled skewers that stole my heart, the extensive menu here at @yakibabar (& of equally high standards & quality) really impressed me! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
.
If you’re a seafood lover, you’re bound to fall in love with their Grilled Japanese Squid ($11.80)! 🦑 Perfectly soft & chewy, these rings that carry a tinge of alluring smokiness from the grill pair well with the side of sweet mayo or savoury soy sauce with ginger gratings. ✔
.
Unagi fans will be pleased with the Unagi Egg Crepe Roll ($8.80) or Unagi Rice Burger ($13.80) 💕, with the latter featuring crispy rice patties encasing a plump slice of eel in a luscious coat of sweet-savoury unagi sauce, wrapped in a pretty nori sheet. 😋😋😋 Beats any fast food burger joints hands down!
.
Comfort food for a rainy day? Onigiri Bukkake 🍙 topped with Salmon Floss ($8.80) is certainly a top choice! 👍🏻 Alternatively, go for a bowl of comforting Oden where you get to choose your preferred ingredients including Japanese Konnyaku, hard-boiled egg, deep fried tofu, radish, fish cake & meatball, all at $0.90 each. 🥰
.
Like some appetisers while waiting for your mains? Try their homemade Chicken Liver Pate with Toast ($5.80) which is absolutely creamy, void of any gamey taste & leans on the sweet side. 👌🏻 For a refreshing start, try their Tomato Oihidashi ($2.80) 🍅 which will whet your appetite with its tangy note. Fried food fans will be pleased with the classic Tori Karaage (Fried Chicken, $6.80). 🐓
.
As for mains, you can give their Mentaiko Pasta ($13.80 for lunch set) or Cold Angel Hair Pasta with Sakura Ebi ($14.80, $16.80 for lunch set) a try! 😉 The umami of the fish roe will leave you with smiles & a satisfied tummy. 😋😋😋 Many more to explore - looks like I need to be back another day!
