Salmon (Aburi) Mentaiko Donburi The Salmon (Aburi) Mentaiko Donburi ($15) was satisfying too with their own mentai sauce slathered over the slices. Embellished with briny ikura and tobiko, the rice bowl was not overly seasoned (saltish) and rather well-balanced. Although the slices were thin, they were fresh-tasting and were cooked perfectly - almost melts in the mouth. The sauce had a good flavour, not too jelat, and got a nice smoky boost from the torching as well. Thank you @gyunamisg and @burpple for the invite!

Roasted Wagyu Beef Donburi A decent spot for a quick and fuss-free meal in town, Gyu Nami is on #Burpplebeyond with 2 donburis going at $25! Known for their wagyu beef dons, they also serve a handful of mains and sides on their compact menu. Done to a lovely medium rare, the signature Roasted Wagyu Beef Donburi ($15) was a pretty sight with a runny yolk at the very top and a generous pour of their housemade yoghurt sauce. The peppered Australian wagyu slices were lean and soft; with a mild beefy flavour. Hence, the bulk of the flavour came from the light yoghurt sauce and the sweet-savoury sauce found drizzled on the rice. I especially enjoyed dipping into and mixing the egg with the beef. Thank you @gyunamisg and @burpple for the invite!

Roasted Wagyu Beef Donburi ($25 for 2 dons with beyond) This was the signature dish in this small little cozy restaurant! Soft and tender beef slices were delicately placed on the top of the rice, served with an onsen egg and a special home made yogurt-based sauce. This was enjoyable in every aspect, from the aesthetics to the soft and juicy beef slices, to the creamy and flavourful yogurt that added flavors to the rice and the beef! It also came with a bowl of miso soup which complemented the rice. Overall it was a simple yet very hearty and delicious meal.

Fire ramennn When apes first saw fire they were in awww. That’s how I felt when they set fire to my ramen. Adele set fire to the rain I saw fire in ramen. The drink was super good. It looks like plain water but taste like Evian version of tea. Food came with some dumplings too and ice cream. Not just any ice cream but sake ice cream.

Amazake Ice Cream This was unusual and fascinating. Nice sweet ice cream poured with the alcoholic amazake. It made us sit up.

Pork Gyoza The most mediocre gyoza you'll encounter.

salmon mentaiko don it was really good!!! my friend got the hei bi pasta which came with a generous portion of 3 big prawns, and we ordered truffle fries too! the fries were fine, nothing too special about it. do note that there are very few seats and we ended up dining alfresco by the roadside. generally the portions werent really big and so it may be a lil bit pricey if you dont use the burpple 1f1 deal

Wagyu beef don and chirashi don Both waygyu and chirashi don was good, worth using burple 1-1. Was not so crowded on Mon night

Wagyu beef don $32 When using burpple, only one order of this is allowed. And this was so enjoyable! Beef was so tender and nicely seasoned, nice poached egg on top. Rice could have been slightly better though, didn’t leave much to remember. But great item on the menu! Staff also very friendly and attentive!

For 1-For-1: Mains (Dinner) (save ~$28) Have a hankering for some donburis? Pair Saketoshi’s premium sakes with their Signature Beef Don ($28) which comes loaded with premium Australian beef, a runny Onsen Egg, and foie gras. The rice bowl is also topped with leeks, scallions, truffle caviar, and truffle mayo for additional flavour.

Japanese Oysters Karaage For people who aren't a fan of oysters 🦪 because of its slimy texture, this deep-fried version ($24+) presents a more firm texture & eliminates most of the raw taste. 🤤 Nice eat!

Scallop Ikura The scallop ikura ($24+) was quite a highlight for me! ✨️ Featuring pan-seared scallops that hail from the plankton-rich waters of Hokkaido 🇯🇵 & topped with umami-rich ikura (salmon roe) 🧡, this was indulgent!

Warahi mochi(complimentary for birthday) This was absolutely delicious too. The mochi was fine but the dark chocolate sauce was so addictive. It looks like kuromitsu but there's an underlying depth from the dark chocolate which wasn't overly prominent Service: it's alright but there's a lot of hiccups. The day before they gave us a menu which we were happy with, which was what was on the website too. yet the next day the menu is different, and they said they just changed. Come on Due to the menu change possibly, they couldn't give us the topup cost to change items the day before, as the chef wasn't in. On the same day, they still couldn't. By the second course they told us the price and I tot it was ridiculous, but apparently it's too late to cancel because the chef has already started preparing. Jesus Christ. Really left a bad taste in our mouth. It's hard to believe this is happening when we're paying 200 per pax, I'm honestly quite surprised this is under Les Amis. Also there's only 2 tables during Monday lunch but given the food and the adminstrative difficulties is that really a surprise?

Monaka (lunch set) The matcha ice cream was good, the red bean could have been a bit more generous, but what stunned was the monaka itself. It's made using mochi and was super crispy yet holds its shape perfectly. At the same time, it's got a very strong almost kinako flavour that's stronger than even the matcha. The desserts were almost stronger than everything else Overall: Tbh they've been open a while and still they have barely any reviews. After coming here I know why, the price is very high, yet the dishes were all only above average. There's no clear climax apart from the yakiniku, and too few mindblowing moments. Also the portion is damn tiny, everything is one biter except the mains which were 4 biters. We were literally still hungry by the end of the meal and went to get dessert and a second lunch after

Yakiniku rice set(discovery) This was the gem of the meal. Previously it's 3 thin slices of yakiniku but from today onwards it's a big thick slab of meat. Prime rib, which is basically the best cut imo for yakiniku, except here it's sous vide cos it's so thick and then grilled. This texture was brilliant, it's so soft and soft only, not much bite or bounce or wtv else. And the flavour was deep too, and so unlike anything else I'd pick the discovery over executive, just for this

New Menu at Sushi Tei I am a regular of Sushi Tei and I have been dining there quite consistently for > 10 years so I obviously appreciate the food here. They have introduced a new menu recently and various price changes, which is understandable due to inflation of food prices. We tried a few items on their new and seasonal menu and some were hits but others were misses. At the NEX branch (unsure about the others as this was not available at Serangoon Gardens), you get 50% off 2 of their curated menu of new dishes if you spend over $80. || Legend; 🌸 for seasonal dishes and ⭐️ for new dishes on the permanent menu || Hits: • 🌸Sashimi Moriawase ($32.80) in their seasonal menu was great because it’s a smaller sashimi platter that comes with ikura (I believe in their normal menu only salmon platters or bigger sashimi platters have ikura). The Shima-aji was also delicious. • ⭐️ Aburi Ibirico Pork Cheek ($13.80) this dish was in the list of promo dishes avail at 50% off* and it was so good! The pork was a bit on the fatty side but very juicy and tender. Torched and dressed with some ichimi for a slight kick. I forsee myself having this a lot. • ⭐️ Terikyaki Steak with Garlic ($15.80) this wasn't the best steak I have had but very affordable for the quality you get and I will definitely pick this over the wagyu. We had this in medium and it was incredibly tender. Also on promo menu. Misses: • 🌸 A4 Tochigi Wagyu Steak ($37.80) in medium rare. The two times I had Wagyu at Sushi Tei (different branches on different occasions), I was underwhelmed and disappointed. I won’t be ordering wagyu here again. Their regular steak is about the same standard. But this seasonal menu wagyu was also served with citrusy dressings that masked the meat’s flavour, which was interesting but also slightly queer. • ⭐️ Aburi Mentai Don ($17.80) was excited to have this but boy did it disappoint. Fwiw Sushi Tei serves up decent mentai but if you are a mentai lover go for the mentaiko salmon steak instead with a bowl of rice. This was served with miserly toppings of 2 thin salmon, prawn and scallop sashimi slices with a whole load of rice. Not satisfying at all and severely overpriced. * Single receipt spend of $80 only, applicable from a limited menu of 6 new dishes. Only 2 dishes per table.

Wagyu + Rib eye set It was good! Really would return, and I did in the afternoon on Tuesday just to find out it was closed.. The opening hours on burpple said it was open🫠

black curry with fried wagyu katsu the black curry was so good and the fried wagyu was perfect too - crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. came with some purple cabbage that was kinda bitter though. but overall a really nice dish in a nice and cosy setting! would definitely come by again :)

Black curry rice?! 🖤 Tucked away in Far East Plaza, this restaurant concept offers signature dishes from 8 different restaurants across Japan (including omurice, hamburg steak, unagi don and gyukatsu). 🌟 𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗖𝘂𝗿𝗿𝘆 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗪𝗮𝗴𝘆𝘂 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳 𝗠𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗵𝗶 𝗞𝗮𝘁𝘀𝘂 ($𝟭𝟵) 🐮 Tried the hakata-style black curry rice with fried wagyu katsu. Deep fried till golden-brown, the katsu is crispy on the outside, while still juicy on the inside. The unique black curry features a mix of pork, chicken broth and secret spice combination! 🍛✨ This has a mild smoky taste and is a popular item among the diners. For those who don't take beef, you can also choose to enjoy the black curry with pork loin, chicken or carbonara. 🌟 𝗧𝗲𝗿𝗶𝘆𝗮𝗸𝗶 𝗪𝗮𝗴𝘆𝘂 𝗕𝗲𝗲𝗳 𝗕𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿 ($𝟭𝟴) 🍔 Another item that we tried is the beef burger. Said to be the juiciest and softest wagyu beef hamburg steak, the kuroge beef burger is created by Chef Fukuyoshi who won the European Mondo Selection award and was voted as one of Japan's 50 top chefs! Served alongside wedges and onion rings, you can also get your hands dirty with their build-your-own-burger option 🇯🇵 If you're visiting for lunch/early dinner, try their set meal and ramen options (from 11am-6pm). Also available on major food delivery platforms. Got this with 1-for-1 deal on burpple so it's quite worth 😉💸 📸 Full review on Instagram (@myfoodframes)!

Jap food Having jap food in a bar. Worth it with burpple as you can order anything in the menu that is above 8 bucks for the complimentary dish. The beef was fried with garlic that makes it really fragrant.

Vibey place with good food Started the meal with the mains because why not? The mentaiko pasta ($15) was so damn umami and wasn't as creavy-heavy as I was worried it would be. Do avoid clumping the shredded seafood when mixing as they lent a briney pop to the bite. Next, the Unagi Fried Rice ($11) was wonderfully sweet and charred, with the piece of Unagi being very nicely grilled. Ate them separately but might follow others' recc to mix everything together next time. Following the carbs, our sides came; started with the Fried Corn ($6) which was SERIOUSLY GOOD like each individual kernel was battered and deep-fried so it's sweet and crispy, and when paired with the accompanying sauces (some mayo+tobiiko hybrid and a Miso tartar?) it is seriously legit. Great to pair with drinks! The Ox Tongue ($12) came last and while good, wasn't as spectacular as I expected it to be. Overall, it was a good meal and will come back for happy hour.

Salmon Mentai Don $19++ Food was served really quickly, and portion was decent with burpple beyond. The salmon slices were thin but fresh, topped with good quality mentaiko, then torched so that the salmon was slightly cooked. The rice was a little too hard, and would be much nicer if it was softer and if had some vinegar or toppings to go with it like furikake or seaweed. Would return again with burpple beyond hoping that the rice was only hard today. Bar was a little loud as well.

For 1-for-1 Main Dish (save ~ $15) Yakizen is where you can find value-for-money lunches during the day and great Izakaya at night! Some of their stand-out dishes include the Salmon Aburi Maki ($26.80) and the Fresh Oyster with ponzu sauce (3pcs for $14.80). We reckon these would make for the perfect dinner when paired with either their Asahi or Sapporo bottles.

Omelette Curry Rice Made the trip down specially for this and it didn't disappoint! The crispy chicken katsu is coated with a thin layer of bread crumbs and deep fried. Wrapped in omelette, the garlic fried rice is simple yet delicious. The elements of the dish came together well (though the egg isn't the runny type that we often see). The hefty portion was another plus point! Heard from the owner that this is one of their popular dishes and I can understand why 🤤 Wouldn't mind a revisit to try some of the other dishes! There's a 1-for-1 burpple deal for selected mains. Get 30% off your burpple subscription with promo code 'JQLP1380' 💸

Salmon Mentai Aburi Don with Ikura 1-for-1 mains at this modern Japanese izakaya ✨ Most of the rice bowls here are served in a cute bento box. Can't go wrong salmon mentaiko topped with ikura! 📌 PROMO CODE: <JQLP1380> 📌

Bulgogi duck rice 22++ PSA it really is exactly where they say it is. On top of Prata restaurant is a corner shop, and this is directly beside it. The exterior is like any other shop so look carefully. Unit number 02-208? I think Absolutely delicious as well. Not very bulgogi tbh but doesn't rlly matter. It's got a slightly crisp, skin that was a bit hard as well, but not unpleasantly. The meat was tender and thickly sliced, and most importantly it's super flavourful from aging. Absolutely awe-inspiring stuff and a must try

Big slab bossam don 18++(used BB) PSA During lunch there's only lunch bowls, no ala cart This was delicious. Kimchi was solid, but the pork belly. Wow. It's tender with just a little bite, super fatty but not greasy. Chef chose to slow roast it so it's not just super soft, and the espresso miso glaze, despite the fancy name, made for a simple and effective sweet savoury glaze. Chef has been trained in both Jap and French cuisine, as well as stints at Michelin establishments. A lot of young chefs come out from Michelin places to set up their own restaurants lately but I feel like many don't live up to the hype. But this chef, from his food it's clear he knows what he's doing. Really excited for this place, except the location is too hidden lol

Little gem in retro neighbourhood We’re fans of mono, having first tasted their food when they were still sharing space with gather the misfits. They’ve since moved to somewhere in between lavender and Jalan besar and we’ve discovered they’re on beyond to boot! The Unagi mapo tofu was very generous and you can taste the individual flavours of the eel, mushroom, peppercorn and sauce perfectly complimenting each other. So glad we’ve managed to taste their food again!
