Segregated into many small Japanese stalls selling different Jap food, it was pretty deserted when I arrived around 1pm though it's neighbor, Food Republic, was bustling with people. I'm guessing it's because Japan Food Town is pricier.

I zoomed in on Bonta Bonta since that's what I came for after seeing @i.makan.sg 's post. Ordered the full sized unagi don which was served with Kinmemai white rice (a gourmet specialty rice that looks like white rice, but comes with better nutritional value and tastes better), dashi soup and a mini mandarin orange.
So shiok to enjoy a huge piece of unagi all by myself!

The freshwater eel from Japan is nicely grilled to have a slightly crisp and little char. The tare sauce used is pretty good too. Just slightly sweet and not too salty. Texture of eel is firm, moist and tender, without being "slimy" (or sticky) like the cheaper versions I've tried.
