Lunch at @ichi.umai in @junctionnine .
Buta Kakuni Don (S$12.90)
Braised pork with in-house soy blend on furikake rice
Very tender and flavourful meat but letdown by rather hard and dry (over nite?) rice. Even adding broth from the udon couldn’t save it. Did not come with soup. Would prefer if it was served with onsen egg instead of soft boiled egg.

Isebi Sarada Roll (S$8.90)
Lobster salad on cucumber sushi roll
The seaweed wrap wasn’t holding the rice well. Can see splits.

Tempura Udon (S$10.90)
Crispy batter deep-fried prawns & vegetables with hot soup noodles
Only 1 battered carrot slice. No other vegetables. So sad looking.

Chawanmushi (S$2.90)
Steamed egg with chicken, crabmeat, fishcake & mushroom
More like crabstick instead of crabmeat.

By the way the wasabi was served with soyu - the local style in a saucer, not traditional style.
