At the old run down building of cuppage plaza, it is a haven for Japanese food. There are loads of Japanese restaurants (and shady pubs with girls in tight clothes but ignore those) ranging from expensive to affordable. I was introduced to this place by a friend and do come early because seats are limited and there will be a long queue if you hit the peak dinner time. My friend had a bowl of Oden. The soup is simply packed full of flavour! If you don't feel like having a heavy meal or slightly u
My friend had a bowl of Oden. The soup is simply packed full of flavour! If you don't feel like having a heavy meal or slightly under the weather, this is the dish for you! Light, not too salty, and warms the belly. Japanese idea of chicken soup
This is a yakitori dish of bacon wrapped oyster. Super delicious. The yakitori stove is manned by this old stern looking Japanese uncle who carefully flips and grills all the meat, seafood and veg on a hot grill. The bacon is dripping in oil and compliments the oyster very well. Taste is smoky, greasy and has a slight seafood briny flavour from the oyster. A must try. Another dish (which I don't have the photo) which is AWESOME is the yakitori pork belly. Super super sinful but damn good! Even my friend who doesn't like pork belly was converted after eating it. It's like bacon but 100 times the taste and very nice and chewy.
I had the curry rice with pork katsu. This dish I feel is normal. I had better elsewhere but the curry is good and has a home-cooked feel.. I prefer my katsu thick and juicy compared to this thinner and dryer version. Nonetheless, I left this place satisfied and will definitely be coming back to try more things.
