SUKIYA (Century Square)

Kimchi Yakitori (M) ($7.20)

I wanted to try something savoury and spicy since I lose appetite due to the stress. But the kimchi was slightly spicy but the yakitori got chewy and slightly smoked grilled taste.

Spring Onion & Half Boiled Egg Gyudon (L Size - $8.80)

Lots of meat, lots of spring onion, a creamy half-boiled egg. Perfect for a simple yet filling Monday meal, except there’s not enough pepper sauce tho.

Add-on Karaage Combo + Coke Zero Sugar ($4.50)

crispy and crunchy chicken bites and good for sharing with people.

Better then yoshinoya obviously... However compared to japan it has a limited menu

Yeah this sounds a bit weird right, but according to the menu, which claims that this was the number one topping in Japan, and is always served with a bottle of tabasco. I love tabasco, so why not give it a shot right. My first time at Sukiya, a Japanese guidon chain, I was surprised to find a plethora of options from curry rice bowls to miso salmon bowls as well. So whether you like beef, chicken, or are pescatarian, there would be something for you here. Another thing which amazed me was the relatively affordable pricing. If one opts for the simple option of the regular sized Gyudon, it would only cost them $4.50. With pretty efficient service (though not a big seating area), I do think it is pretty worth it!

The melted cheese gyudon did not strike me as extremely melty — I really was expecting more creaminess from it. However, after a bit of mixing, the combination of three cheeses was trumped by the mozzarella-stringy cheese like texture. Ultimately, I did not think that the cheese contributed much to the don except for a slight creaminess, but in terms of taste and flavour, it was lacking. Then again, the meat itself was not the most flavourful. It did come with a slight juiciness and sauce, but it did feel a bit lacklustre in taste.

With Sukiya’s affordable prices and decent quality of food, I see myself coming back so that I can try more of their items on their menu! The more enticing items will inevitably be more expensive, but hopefully Sukiya is able to deliver and match up in terms of quality.

When I opted for no sugar in this iced matcha latte, I was advised by the staff that if I do not add a bit of sugar, it would not be as nice. I was a bit speechless as I thought that matcha could still be amazing without sugar, so I went ahead with my personal preference. Lo and behold, the matcha latte was… really not nice at all. But I don’t think sugar will salvage it either. The matcha itself was rough and powdery in texture, and had no taste at all. With the supposed Hokkaido milk, all I could taste was milk and a bland tea taste, not so much the matcha essence. I do hope that in one way or another, the standard of the matcha latte improves, as with the rather affordable price point, it will surely be a hit if done well.
