On the 3rd level corner of the shopping mall (new wing), there is a cluster of Japanese stalls, selling a variety of Japanese meals. A buffet concept recently opened up as well, which I have not got round to trying. The place is rather dark, lighting is dim though the ambience is certainly set apart from the usual foodcourts. The place is largely run and managed by Chinese. There might be one or two authentic Japanese chefs still, though I cannot quite tell who is who. They are all shouting out

The place is largely run and managed by Chinese. There might be one or two authentic Japanese chefs still, though I cannot quite tell who is who. They are all shouting out Japanese greetings and phrases. To a lesser extent than what you would hear in Japan.
Here, we tried the Pork Belly garlic fried rice. Served in a really hot ceramic bowl, the dish came smelling really fragrant. The food got a little too salty for the taste-buds after a while. The garlic fried rice could have been better, taste wise. It was bland. Lacked the omph.
Like how the Japanese have an electronic scale machine to weigh out their rice. Just press a button (which I assume specifies the portion of rice), have an empty bowl at the collection point and.. wala. Always equal portions of rice for each customer.
Which for Singaporeans, makes it tough to say, "less rice, more rice". The Japanese just takes whatever is served, and, finishes up every morsel!
If you want a choice of Japanese meal without having to walk far or fret that your companion might want something other than what you wish, try, Ishi Mura.
