After a sell-out streak at several pop-ups last year, Makirito has built a permanent spot perched atop 52 Barbers in APW. These guys dole out Japanese makis shaped like burritos, hence their name! It sounds deceptively simple, but according to co-founder Kent, months of experimentation have gone into perfecting these six-inch makis. The result is in the roll. Try the Signature Salmon (RM16), which melds fresh salmon, masago (capelin roe) and chuka wakame (seasoned seaweed) with a shoyu mayo sauce. Its no-frill flavours satisfy with freshness and a sound ratio of fillings. Also a top dish is the Spi-Seafood (RM15) that features salmon with jellyfish, crab salad, pineapple and masago. The hit of heat comes from chili flakes and its distinctive flaming mayo sauce. In case fish doesn't appeal to you, there are options for Teriyaki Chicken (RM13) and Spicy Tofu (RM10). The joint caters primarily to grab-and-go customers, but there are three small tables, as well as an al-fresco seat in the balcony, for dining in. Make this your next stop for quick lunches with a friend!
Avg price per person: RM15
