Japanese Jamin'

On Halloween I was presented with a trick of the eyes and a treat for my stomach.

Taking a break from wandering around Clarke Quay amidst the colourful costumers I sat down at Liang Court for a large Buta Don ($15?). The trick of the eyes is how compact the bowl looked when presented but behind the many pieces of pork flown in from Japan, was a deep fluffy white bed of short grain rice. And finally the light seasoning and sauce was frightening at how well it brought all the elements together.

The shop prides themselves on remaining authentic especially with their ingredients, but I as I left I couldn't help but have a slight sense of dread over them being able to maintain their reasonable pricing in the shadow of the great food that can already be found in our hallowed city.
