read about Osaka Ohsho a while ago and have been wanting to try it since it is at the convenient location of Raffles City. However, having witnessed the lunch time queues around the area, including the ones at namnam noodle bar, I thought it was probably a better idea to try it during a non-work day so I had the opportunity to try it last labour day.For people who may not have heard of Osaka Ohsho, it is established in 1969 as a gyoza specialist, and the menu now includes Japanese-Chinese favou
For people who may not have heard of Osaka Ohsho, it is established in 1969 as a gyoza specialist, and the menu now includes Japanese-Chinese favourites such as mapo tofu, egg plant with minced meat and black vinegar fried chicken. Today, Osaka Ohsho has over 300 outlets in Japan, Hong Kong, Thailand, Korea and now Singapore.
Needless to say, gyoza is their specialty and you can find that all their set meals come with either a small serving of 3 or 6 gyoza. I love gyoza so i chose the eggplant set with 6 gyozas. Oh and btw, im also a sucker for chi-jap fusion food.. =)
While the eggplant was very tasty (a tad oily) and goes well with rice, our focus and mission today is on the gyoza! It looked very promising with one side very nicely panfried and the other side steamed; my only complaint is that it is not juicy enough! The gyoza filling with a mixture of cabbage, ginger, garlic and 3 kinds of pork wrapped in special wonton wrapper, was skilfully grilled to a deliciously golden brown crisp on one side but seriously lacks moisture. If you ask me, try the at cuppage, it ranks top for me for the moment. The filling is somehow more juicy and you can taste the freshness of the ingredients, though the done-ness of the skin cant be compared to Osaka Ohsho.My friends ordered the salmon set and the tofu hamburger set. I think the salmon portion looks a bit pathetic but the tofu hamburger came in the same kind of sauce as their ‘emu rice’, and has an egg omelette on it.
I would say generally the food is tasty and quite value for money. Seriously, I would say i have no problem eating a dozen gyoza from here, which only cost $3.90 for 6.
