Whatup yo! How's this week been going for you lovely people? Hope the week's been passing smoothly for you all! May&FJ's introducing you all to this amazing Japanese restaurant situated in CBD area in Singapore! Dear May came here once and told me that this is one place worth coming for the food and price as they are very generous in their servings! Apparently this restaurant's opened by a Japanese who brought back tastes closest to the ones you get in Japan!
It took both of us forever to locate this restaurant as neither of us were familiar with this area~there's just too many hidden caches! But, the 'miles' we've walked were definitely worth it. We were greeted by the Japanese Chef himself and led to our seats by one of their staffs. We ordered a Chirashi Sushi ($25) and a Yakiniku Set ($20) and the bill totaled to about $52.95. I have included the menu right below here so you guys can check it out.
Chirashi Sushi :
Comes with:
- Chawanmushi (chicken, mushroom and Japanese fishcake)
- Miso Soup
- 2 slices of Oranges
Ingredients:
- Sushi rice topped with seaweed strips
- Salmon
- Hamachi (Yellow Tail)
- Majuro Akami (Red Tuna)
- Red Snapper
- Ebi
- Kani Stick (Crab Meat)
- Tamago
- Sword Fish
- Topiko (Flying Fish) Roe
- Sakura Denbo (Shredded fish flakes)
Comments:
- All sashimi were very fresh!!
- They gave very generous servings of Salmon
- Topiko was very fresh! They BURST in your mouth!
- The Tuna did not leave a bloody taste unlike those that we've usually tried.
- The Kani Stick's super sweet
- Tamago was very sweet and milky~more milky than usual, interesting!
- The Sakura Denbo was slightly savory and sweet! It has a texture similar to candy floss according to May!
- The Sword Fish was firm, Q and sweet! Awesome!
Yakiniku Set:
Comes with:
Mini Soup:
- Consists of: Half a boiled egg, 2 Japanese fishcakes, Broccoli, Radish and a piece of Steamed Chicken
- The soup is sweet with the essence of radish in it! AWESOME starter really!
- Japanese fishcakes were really great!
- Chicken is slightly dry, but it's fine as the taste of the soup makes up for it!
Sushi Plate:
- Consists of: Salmon, Tuna and Yellow Tail sashimi. (about 9 slices)
- The Salmon was heavenly! Absolutely great!
- Tuna and Yellow Tail were not as bloody as I thought it'd be. Good for me for I tend to avoid bloody sashimi~
- I do not see why I shouldn't say that the sashimi's UBER fresh again :)
Beef Plate:
- Not too oily compared to those you eat at Kopitiam.
- It's full of carrots, cabbage and onions! (All my favourite vegetables in one set!)
- Amount of beef is reasonable, but it was slightly dry.
- The sauce was tasty! Makes you eat non-stop and crave for more even though you're done with the plate!
Chawanmushi:
- Smoooooooooooooth~
- The ingredients do not cover the eggy taste! Just the way May loves it^^
Miso Soup:
- Filled with tofu chunks, seaweed and spring onion! Unlike some restaurants that give you like a few pieces of tofu and a few strips of seaweed-.-
Overall Advantages:
- We were very happy with the service staffs! The service they provide was really tip top when we were there.
- We were served hot towels when we sat down and before we left. (I really love this gesture, reminds me dearly of Japan)
- One of the service staffs even had the initiative to draw another chair for May to put her bag on.
- They have loads of patience especially with us as we asked for a detailed description of the types of sashimi in our meal and they really went through one by one with us.
- The Yakiniku set came rather quickly, but we had to wait awhile for the Chirashi Sushi.
- They refill your Japanese Tea rather often.
- The portions are really HUGE! Your tummy will be filled to the brim if you ever managed to finish every single thing including the rice.
- They provide you a variety in the set meal so that you get to try a bit of everything and hence the price is worth every single cent of it.
Over Disadvantages:
- So far, NONE that we can pin point.
Note:
- GST and Service Charges applies.
- It's best to make a reservation for lunch hours, it's PACKED.
May&FJ highly recommend you people to visit Botan Japanese Restaurant! Trust us! You'll NEVER regret going there ever. It's a one of a kind experience and the food's great! GO GO GO!!! Till next time lovelies!
<3 May&FJ
