The Japanese Findings

$10.90 is too low a price for how awesome this is: lightly seared salmon with a generous amount of mentaiko (spicy pollock roe) cream atop a rich serving of rice seasoned with soy and tiny fish roe. A grand seal of approval and the highest recommendation I'll give ever for cost: quality ratio. Do try this!

This classy yet unassuming restaurant in Wisma's Japanese food town wowed me with it's quality service and pretty good food. Pictured is the demiglace katsudon ($25++) with dashi soup (bonito flakes boiled in water) and a surprising appitizer of radish and greens on a bed of jellified shoyu.

While it is only above average for Singapore standards; in my travels, I never had such good dashi soup before. It's incredibly smoky yet refreshing aftertaste compliments the end of the meal.

Fixing my craving for spaghetti, I finally visited Shio and Pepe after months of sidetracking.

Fancy on first impression, the mentaiko spice is nicely paired with the cream pasta, mixed with bacon bits that, while isn't mind blowing, is decent and definitely above average as pasta.

The other dishes of pizza hamburg and omurice varieties seem interesting, and I shall come back to try another.

An oddly smart dish of sinful oily goodness. Aburi salmon topped with roe and Mayo combined with its natural oil, is good.

But the real star is the wagyu, topped similarly, the meaty, juicy core is unlocked upon chewing in the unassuming novelty sushi.
