Hungry Ghost
It’s been a long time since I last went to Osaka and I have been craving for the Japanese pancakes known as okonomiyaki. There are a few restaurants in Singapore specializing in okonomoyaki, I decided to try out Ajiya Okonomiyaki Restaurant. Ajiya Okonomiyaki is a small restaurant hidden in the shophouses along Jalan Jurong Kechil, […]
I recently saw a video on TikTok talking about a Japanese restaurant that sells handmade sushi starting from S$1. I thought it’s too good to be true so I decided to visit JUNRYO and find out for myself. JUNRYO is a tiny Japanese restaurant in Orchard Plaza. It’s a little challenging to find the place, […]
I was craving for some comforting Korean handmade noodles. I made my way to Huluruk Myeon House in Velocity only to realize it has been taken over by a Japanese restaurant Unatoto. Unatoto specializes in unagi, (Japanese grilled eel). Unatoto aims to provide affordable unagi for everyone to enjoy. Besides unagi, Unatoto also offers tendon, […]

I visited the first Uya Japanese Unagi Restaurant 四代目菊川 in Wheelock Place back in 2019. The restaurant has since been renamed to UYA Charcoal-Grilled Live Unagi. There is now a second outlet in Oasia Hotel Novena which happens to be next to Marmalade Pantry. Eel A La Carte UYA Charcoal-Grilled Live Unagi offers some interesting […]
I have always thought izakaya are only for drinking but a recent business lunch at Sandai Izakaya in Novena made me realize these Japanese bars actually sell decent Japanese food. Appetizers Shirauo Karaage [S$6.90] are deep-fried white bait fish. These crispy treat are perfect with beer or other alcoholic beverages. Nothing beats Tori Karaage [S$8.90] […]
Shin Minori Japanese Restaurant has been on my “to-visit” list for the longest time but I couldn’t find friends to go with me. I finally got to visit the outlet in UE Square with my colleagues a few weeks ago. The outlet at UE Square is clean and comfortable with ample wooden tables and padded […]
Sen Sen Sushi, the premium sushi restaurant by Don Don Donki, has opened a new outlet in Jurong East. This new outlet is located on level 3 of JEM, just besides Don Don Donki on the same floor. Sen Sen Sushi I thought it is a conveyer belt sushi restaurant like Sushi Express, but it’s […]
I love a good steak and I usually get my fix at Pepper Lunch Restaurant (JEM). While Pepper Lunch serves quality steak at affordable prices, it lacks variety. A friend recently introduced a new steak restaurant called BIZEN Okayama Wagyu Steakhouse where you can get different cuts of beef. BIZEN Okayama Wagyu Steakhouse is part […]
A new friend that I made during a hiking trip was returning back to the US and I wanted to treat him to a farewell dinner. He said he wanted to have some good sushi so I brought him to Mitsu Sushi Bar. Mitsu Sushi Bar is a small Japanese restaurant on Duxton Road that […]
