From Ichiho
Grilled chicken marinated in Japanese pepper shoyu and served with hard boiled egg.
Not bad indeed.

Very happy with my Kaisen Sashimi Don. The bowl is filled with flavourful and colourful fresh sashimi. Wasn’t very impressed with the additional top us with my main course. The salad abs miso soup are too salty.

As with all Japanese restaurants, it's common to order sashimi and/or sushi. Here, the chef combined both into a single dish, where the sashimi is piled atop cucumber sushi. With a wide range of seafood such as uni, ikura and salmon, this dish was somewhat like a deconstructed sushi 🤣

The Saba Kimchi Avocado Don was another intriguing bowl, with Grilled Saba Fish paired with a kimuchee and avocado mixture, with leafy greens served on the side. Was a little apprehensive initially but found the kimchi and avocado combination to be decently tasty! The Saba fish was pretty textbook though, flavourful and tender, with nothing much to shout about. A bowl of miso soup is all you need to complete this rice bowl!

Was treated to a feast at Ichiho! Featuring mostly Japanese dishes with a Western element, what I like best out of all the dishes I tried has to be the Katsu Curry Don. The curry sauce carpet bombs the bowl with umami when you mix them together, with the Miyazaki Pork Katsu fried to a crispy, golden brown and supplying flavour of its own. As per all the Dons served here, they come with 2 wedges, which was a rather uncommon sight for a Japanese don, though it doesn't affect the taste much.

found a hidden gem in my area! generous portion of fish and a good assortment, definitely worth the price. favourite was the large prawn 😋 however do note the chawanmushi was very watery even after they offered to replace another one 🥴
