Gambas – soba in prawn jus topped with roasted sesame infused minced prawn. Felt like a big vegetarian stir-fry noodle dish. Fantasies of juicy fat prawn chunks sorta got popped with a pin as they probably were so minced, they became molecular. 3.25/5 The Laneway Market 266 Tanjong Katong Road…
Salivating spicy chicken. The spiciness slowly does a shadow sneak, and before you know it, your lips are numb from the flames but it’s a Fifty Shades of Grey situation, so yeah baby. 4/5 Xi Yan Shaw 1 Scotts Road #03-12/13 Shaw Centre Singapore 228208
Signature sliced grouper fillet with pine mushroom and black fungus in rice wine broth. The naughtiness of the rice wine struck quickly before sneakily vanishing into the darkness, leaving no traces behind in what is still a rather happy-tasting soup. 3.75/5 Joyden Canton Kitchen 4 Hillview Rise #02-21 Hillv2 Singapore…
Nagekomi Donburi. Sometimes a picture paints a thousand words. If this is what sharks get to eat in the sea it almost pays to be at risk of extinction. (Almost.) 4/5 Ryoshi Sushi Ikeikemaru 3 Gateway Drive #03-05 Westgate Singapore 608532
Babette Chirashi Donburi – marinated assortment of fresh sashimi, tamago, and tobiko on warm rice. The warm rice and marinate (quite soy) made it feel quite Chinese! Sashimi-rice ratio could be adjusted though. 3.75/5 Babette 165 Tyrwhitt Road Singapore 207569
