A new kid on the block of Nihon Street at Millenia Walk is here (sort of, this piece is way overdue), keeping up with the tradition of providing quality Japanese food!
One of the reasons that this restaurant is worth a visit is the “Japanese Chicken Rice” (my own words) served with all the meals here. Actually, it is rice cooked in oden (a kind of Japanese soup, not chicken), but my first impression is that it tastes like chicken rice. Starchy in texture, not too oily, but thoroughly captured the essence of ingredients of oden, thus intensely flavourful, this rice is so good that I can have a second helping of it. Since I love the starchiness of Japanese rice, this version of “chicken rice” is absolutely my favourite “chicken rice”.
Tontoro Bento is highly recommended. The meat is slightly tougher, but the taste of it is so good. Nutty goodness of the fats of the pork bursts into the mouth when taking a bite off it. I also like the raw egg and miso soup that come with it.
Sashimi is decent, being fresh.
Skewers is pretty good, a nice side dish to order.
The place is very bright, airy and clean, great for a relaxing meal. If you want to be seen by passerby, can opt to sit beside the open window by the corridor. I mean, why not, if you are looking great.
Thoughts: Good food at good prices. One of my regular places to go to.
