Crispy prawn wrapped in sushi rice and salmon. The entire roll is then flooded with their special mayo sauce that is torched. Lastly a generous portion of fish roe to sum up the shiokness in the entire dish. I feel so good just eating this.

A long week of work calls for a meal that heals. If you work in the area, you're probably familiar with the super affordable, tasty rice bowls available here at lunch. At dinner, expect comforting dishes such as the classic Okonomiyaki ($8.80) and the Hanpen Cheese ($6.80), deep-fried fish cake stuffed with cheese, served with cod roe mayo (make sure they serve this hot!). What's nice is that they also do some really unexpected, elegant dishes like the Shime Saba — mackerel sashimi scorched with a blowtorch right before your eyes, served with lemon, mustard and soy sauce. Also go for the Maguro Tataki with ponzu jelly, a really nice play on contrasting flavours, and by then, you'd have forgotten about the insane week you've had.

Anticipation at a high after hearing rave reviews on the food served here. My drink of the night was the Orange Sky ($8), made from blood orange, calpis and lemon. However, the one thing that stole the show was the magic balls aka yogurt bubbles from the Taste Like Purple ($8) drink. Can you also guess out of the 3 drinks, which is the one that's spiked?

Could use some of this herbal, peppery broth crab tanghoon. Heavily seasoned, tasted like bak ku teh, with noted of sweetness from the whole crab. The broth is so addictive that the last drop wasn't spared. While the crab is fresh enough and meaty enough, the soup was a tad "MSG overload" leaving you thirsty. But nonetheless still so yummy.
