Chirashi Don which is a glittering ensemble of fresh sashimi cubes, tamago, a liberal sprinkling of ikura, and a bed of Japanese pearl rice.

This sashimi don was extremely fresh, with thick cuts of salmon, tuna, yellowtail, ika and prawn sashimi 🍣🍱
Definitely a great spot for lunch in the CBD!

Kotobuki’s aburi salmon bakumori don is an actual dream. It’s a mountain of rice, layered with chunky cubes (!!) of salmon sashimi, slathered with mentaiko mayo, and aburi-ed to perfection! The portion was incredibly generous, especially since I was only expecting thin salmon slices. The bowl, although smaller than I had thought, was piled full, and this was definitely enough for two people, with another side dish we ordered.

I went to the tanjong pagar outlet, which has since very sadly closed down, but the experience was amazing. It looks a little dodgy from the outside, but the inside deco is charmingly Japanese and slightly dim. Also, I could see through a little crack in the counter how the chef assembled it, which was a real treat. The amazing charred salmon smell wafted towards us when he blowtorched the flesh and I told my bf there and then that we should get a blowtorch too to aburi all sashimi 🤣. Kotobuki is a really underrated place to me and should be frequented a lot more!

With a tinge of torched cheese flavour, this dish was a guilty pleasure. The potatoes at the bottom was a little dry, could have smashed it lightly and added abit less cheese and more butter and milk perhaps for more moisture. With the eatigo 50% off promotion, this was a steal at $5! For all you potato lovers out there with a budget, come and try this out!

8 pieces and with the eatigo promo, at 50% off, this was a steal for $6.50! Yummy! Decent makis, huge and coated generously with fish roes. I love avocados and this was awesome with the huge slices of avocado in it :)

The soup was abit bland, but with the eatigo promo, it was a steal at $7.50! Egg was not bad, and noodle was springy, could have put the seaweed separately to prevent it from being soggy.

Generous curry serving with carrots and potatoes, and decent serving of meat, nicely fried. Filling [~$16]. The fried octopus chunks with lemon is memorable too!

The sashimi don was presented beautifully, with thick slices of salmon, tuna, hamachi, prawn and squid sashimi laid atop a bed of rice sprinkled with seaweed and sesame seeds. The don came with tamago, cucumber slices and even a bowl of authentic miso soup! Very worth-it!

I ordered Nabayeki Udon, which is udon served in a claypot. It came with tempura prawn, egg, 2 fishcake, chicken bits, mushroom and leek. Flavourful dish, however they gave I felt too little soup. Ingredients were fresh and overall worth $14

Love that the chunky beef curry was generously loaded with soft potatoes and carrots, and it wasn't too salty.

The serving of the rice was too generous that I couldn't finish the don. The rice contained too much vinegar, it tasted overly sour. The seafood wasn't as fresh as I expected it to be. There are definitely better ones out there.

However, the sushi rice was pressed and stuck together hence the amount of rice was actually quite overwhelming and not the distinct pearls of rice i prefer when it comes to donburis.

The sashimi was pretty decent, though not the freshest and highest quality i've had.
THAT AMOUNT OF IKURA IS NO JOKE THOUGH HAHA😂

Went during lunchtime and they had this mini free flow salad bar. LOVED the potato salad. You can even have some fruits or make yourself a cuppa coffee afterwards!😉 #burpple #burpplesg #japanese #japanesefood #salmon #ikura #sashimi #salmonsashimi #whati8todaysg #whati8today #sgeats #sgeatout #sgfoodie #sgfoodblogger #sgfoodies #sgfoodlover #sgfood #sgfoodhunt #sgfoodhunter #sgfoodtrend #myfooddiary #sgfooddiary #sgfooddiaries #sgcafe #sgcafefood #sgcafehopping #sgmakandiary #foodforfoodie #foodforfoodies #foodexplorer
