Had lunch with mama at Ootaya this afternoon. There wasnt a queue unlike what has been read in many reviews of the place. Maybe because we were there at 1230, the crowd started streaming in at 1pm. I had the popular Hokke or rather the Charcoal grilled Atka Mackerel while mama had the Torotoroni (Scallop with rice and Chicken n Touf fu soup) Hokke: I really didnt like this. Can someone enlighten me what is good this fish or dish. It was over grilled, resulting in it being burnt, not slightly bur

Hokke: I really didnt like this. Can someone enlighten me what is good this fish or dish. It was over grilled, resulting in it being burnt, not slightly burnt but really black. Hmm wonder if it was meant to be this way, i doubt so. Or maybe the skin was not meant to be eaten, eat at your own risk, your own cancer risk! It was also a rather salty slab of fish. It is almost impossible to eat it on its own. Risk of cancer and kidney problem. Then again I have to qualify I have very little tolerance for salt. At $17, it is certainly not worth it, especially if you compare it with the scallop rice that my mum had at the same price.
My mama's food -The Torotoroni was on the other extreme, it was simple but yet wonderful. This is what I call comfort food. The scallop rice is heated over a block of solid fuel. It kept the rice and scallop pipping hot! The miso sauce topping adds a sweet and salty flavour to the rice. Very good! Simple as it looks, it is really delightful. This dish came with a very tasty and flavourful soup. The pieces of chicken were tender and tasty. My mama especially liked the soft and silky toufu. For me I love the eggy taste of the soup, yet again, comforting. This dish is certainly the redeeming factor for the restaurant. I will be back just for this!
