Saturday, definitely a peak period in orchard, and whatmore the famous Koh Grill & Bar which serves "the" Shiok Maki. We tried eating there on a tuesday afternoon but it still had a queue, so we skipped it then. But past 8pm on a Saturday night, the queue was still more than an hour. Be prepared to share your tables with others, as the waitresses here have no concern about you and your date. Albeit a window seating, we were sharing our entire table with a group of 5 other women. You could say it

After that extremely long wait and hype, we were pretty tired when we finally settled down. So we ordered only 2 dishes, Shiok Maki, and another grilled Cod Fish Fillet (which we somehow forgot to take pictures of). 2 dishes for 2 people, for a hefty of about $35 in total.
(I wonder if, by now, every Singaporean is immune to pictures of Shiok Maki?)In conclusion, we felt food was quite overrated there, partly because of one key ingredient: mentaiko, which made everything taste good. By the way, we observed that the sushi rice was a mixture of chinese and japanese. For the price you pay, don't you think it would be fairer to get all japanese rice? The rice did not blend well with each other and so did not complete the wonderful maki taste we expected. I have definitely had better japanese food for that price elsewhere.
