Glad I 'tapao' these onigiri (rice balls) from the Family Mart earlier. They come in handy when hunger strikes while binge watching on Netflix (I just started on Designated Survivor: 60 Days π)
.
Now on to the reviews. The Ajitsuke Tamago onigiri is probably the closest thing you'd get to the onigiri you'll find in the Family Mart in Japan. ε³δ»γε΅ (ajitsuke tamago) literally means soft-boiled egg marinated in soy sauce (usually found in ramen). Altho what you get here is half an egg, it's pretty tasty as the egg whites have absorbed the marinate very well. Goes very well with the rice. Soft and chewy
.
The Spicy Kampung Fried Rice Onigiri is not bad. It reminded me of nasi goreng kampung (which is spicy cos of the chilli padi and has chopped up anchovies which I can't take too much of). Due to the anchovies, this one has a slightly stronger taste to the usually subtle onigiri. .
Finally, the Spicy Syiok onigiri. Ok this one made me break into a sweat. It's bokkeumbap (Korean fried rice) onigiri that has a slice of Turkey bacon (in lieu of a seaweed strip) wrapped around it. The rice is super spicy. The taste reminded me of the Samyang hot chicken noodles. Maybe they used that sauce to fry the rice π
But it's quite tasty.
.
But if I have to pick out of the 3, the one that I would probably buy again is the ajitsuke tamago onigiri. I'm all for innovation but sometimes the subtle flavours still work better for some cuisines π
