HELLO!!! May&FJ are back with our new review on Fukuichi Japanese Dining. I have read about it before and have been pestering May to try! And yes! We were there after Phyllis ended her exams and had craving for sashimi ^^.

We ordered: a Shake Aburi Maki ($22), a Sushi Teishoku Lunch Set ($20) and a Shake Sashimi Udon Teishoku Lunch Set ($18). The lunch set menu comes with a dessert (Vanilla Mochi) too. We spent about $75 in total. 

Lunch menu:

Ala Carte Menu:

Shake Aburi Maki:

• Consists of: Seared Salmon, Salmon Roe, Crab Meat, Avocado and Cucumber.
• Salmon was well seared.
• The crab meat provided a sweet taste to it.
• However, this dish does not warrant $22. Koh Grill & Sushi Bar provides a better rendition at a MUCH better price. 

Sushi Teishoku Lunch Set:

• The tangy sesame sauce complimented the greens in the salad. The corn provided the sweet taste.
• The udon was normal, there was nothing much to comment on it.
• The flying fish roe maki had uber fresh flying fish roe! It pops in your mouth.
• The fresh fish sushi consists of: Salmon, Yellow Tail, Prawn, Squid and Tuna. (We changed the Tuna to Salmon as none of us enjoy the bloody aftertaste the tuna has) 
• The tamago was really sweet.
• The chawanmushi had sufficient amount of Dashi stock. It comes with mushroom slices and a piece of chicken. It tasted slightly different from the normal chawanmushi though; but in a good way.
• This is one Lunch set to recommend you all to try! Definitely your money's worth!

Shake Sashimi Udon Teishoku Lunch Set:

• The tangy sesame sauce complimented the greens in the salad. The corn provided the sweet taste.
• The udon was normal, there was nothing much to comment on it.
• It had 5 THICK slices of super fresh Sashimi. It kinda melts in your mouth!
• Their century egg tofu is something we HIGHLY recommend you all to TRY IT! The century egg sauce is very thick and the chopped spring onions provided the crunch. They have included a generous portion of crab meat into this dish which provided a sweet taste and it added a contrast to the savory century egg sauce.
• Another lunch set to go for ^^

A little on the disadvantages would be their service staffs. They were definitely not the most helpful nor the most courteous staff. They just glide next to the tables and lifted the plates away without a "May I clear this?" or " May I?". We had a miscommunication over the lunch set where we told them we would like the tuna replaced with salmon; they mistook that and thought that we wanted another set but this time without the tuna. So they brought us 3 sets instead of 2.

But I guess we gotta applaud them for having the initiative to serve the dessert last.  

Overall, we feel that their ala carte menu is on the expensive side. However, their lunch set menu is one to consider if you are looking for quality and cheap Japanese food. 

That's all from May&FJ today:) The start of the week is nearing! Till the next food post! Ciao~
