My friend has been wanting to try this place since many people are raving about the shiok maki. And there was always a long queue - is the food really that good? Decided to try our luck last Saturday, and we were surprised that there is no Q at 5pm, but after 5 minutes, a long queue formed behind our back.We were asked to share a table of 4 since there are only 2 of us with another couple. The table wasnt separated to have our own space. My friend was annoyed with the service as they also take a
We were asked to share a table of 4 since there are only 2 of us with another couple. The table wasnt separated to have our own space. My friend was annoyed with the service as they also take a long time to take our orders when we have told them that we are ready. But she stayed on for the shio maki since everyone said its so good.
I guessed they are shorthanded as we were told that it will be an hour wait for the shiok maki. I had to order something to eat while waiting so yaki udon is ordered and my friend is a big fan of pitan tofu.
The pitan tofu was sliced into 2 slices, which is very different compared to most places as its normally served as a block. The century egg gravy is quite diluted and the small lump of prawn roe on top is not fresh. Disappointment.
Instructed the waitress to serve us the yaki udon hot. It came warm, and the presentation is abit off. The udon will be better if its piping hot and perhaps, lesser salt.
The Shiok maki came after 45mins. It looks messy on first glance, and the sauce is too creamy.. but we decided to stop judging and eat it. The taste is horrible. The salmon is not definitely not fresh, and its too fishy. The sauce is too creamy that it 'swallows' the flavour of the maki, but its strange that it didnt manage to cover the fishyness of the salmon. Ate only 2, and i couldnt take it anymore.
While we were about to leave, the customers at the counter seat left too. And then i saw the salmon slices... how on earth that salmon is kept this way? Would not come again if i have a choice, or unless there is not so many people, then I will try the yaki udon again.
