Today's post is gonna be a short and sweet one^^ Sharing with you all one of the best places to have cheap chirashi and reasonably priced sashimi. Sukuraya Fish Mart has three outlets in Singapore; one at Parkway Parade Mall, Anchorpoint, and West Coast Plaza. The one May and I visited together with Joey was the one at Parkway Parade.

The menu is included at the bottom. We ordered a Special Chirashi Don ($20), Bara Chirashi Don ($15), a Chirashi Don ($14) and some fresh catch of the day off the counter. In total we spent about $70 in total which was rather reasonable. I went back another time and had a Salmon and Salmon Roe Don at an offer price of $12! (They usually have some promotions there which are value for your money! You should keep a look out!)










Chirashi Don:

  • All raw fishes and prawn was rather fresh.
  • Portion was absolutely reasonable.
  • Amount of raw fish given was really reasonable.
  • Amount of seaweed was enough to have some seaweed at every bite of rice.
  • There was a thin layer of grated egg slices covering the rice at the bottom of the raw fish which was a lovely touch.

Fresh Fish off the counter:
  • Prices are supposedly wholesale prices. But to be honest, it just feels like the kinda price you can get from any of your supermarkets.
  • The only difference is that they can give you a sashimi cut. We gave them instructions to separate the fish to three portions which resulted each slice of the fish to be too thin and each slice had a different slice which was a waste of a good slab of fresh fish.
  • So we advice you to allow the chef to do as he pleases without giving much instructions hahas.

Overall, we would say that this is a must go! The food there is soooo good!! Doing a mid night post makes me hungry!!!!!!!!!! Bahhhh~till next time!

Hello!!!!!!!!!! IT BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE ANYTHING HAS BEEN UPDATED ON THIS BLOG. HOW HAVE YOU ALL BEEN?!?!?!? To be very honest, the NOM review has been hanging for quite some time for both May&FJ. Exams were a torture but we are finally FREE! Instagram would tell you that! (This sounds so similar to the last post we've made)

Anyway, coming back to NOM, we actually visited this place to celebrate dear HY's birthday! It's located quite farrrrrr away from the city areas and quite hard to access. But we urge you not to be detered by this. The food and prices there are so worth the hunting down of this place!!!! Below are the menu photos.




We ordered: Iced Cookies and Cream Chocolate ($4.90), Hot Caramel Chocolate ($4.90), Hot Salted Caramel Chocolate ($4.90), Wild Mushroom Soup ($3.90), Slow Roast Bird Leg ($13.90), Half&Half Pizza ($16.90), Sweet Potato Fries ($5.90), and one Rainbow Salted Caramel Cake ($7.90). The bill totaled to: $63.20. That was about $21 for three people!

Drinks:
  • Iced Cookies&Cream Chocolate: was one of the popular drinks and I can see why. It was nice and had cookie bits in it! It was meg!
  • Hot Caramel Chocolate: It only had a tinge of caramel in it. Not thaaat sweet.
  • Hot Salted Caramel Chocolate: Slightly salted only. Chocolate is thick.

Wild Mushroom Soup:
  • Puree enough.
  • Portion worth the money! It was very reasonable.
  • They had onions inside, giving it extra flavour!

Slow Roast Bird Leg:
  • Their mash potato was made from REAL potatos grated into mash. (Some places give you the powered version which was ewwwww)
  • The potato skin inside the mash adds to its chewyness.
  • The chicken leg was slightly dry at certain parts.
  • But the combination of meat and cranberry sauce was ultz!

Half&Half Pizza:
  • We had smoked duck, and portebello.
  • They had loads of cheese in it. (Spammed)
  • Smoked duck was good. It was hidden under a layer of cheese.
  • The tomato did not go very well with the smoked duck and cheese.
  • The portabello pizza was a disappointment as the portabello was too thin and dry. It lacked the juiciness that portabello mushrooms are famous for.

Sweet Potato Fries:
  • It was very sweet as they dashed sugar over it.
  • The slices were fat.
  • It was a VERY addictive snack.

Rainbow Salted Caramel Cake:
  • For those peepos that said Coffee Daily has the best rainbow cake that costs $10. Wells, let us tell you something better. NOM has a better rainbow cake that costs only $7.90. That's almost $2 lesser than Coffee Daily. (Beat that. Hah!)
  • The cake was moist and soft, and it was not very sweet.
  • The cream came in a reasonable amount.
  • Better still, the presentation was ultz! (I heard that they DIY their logo on those pans)

So what are you waiting for? Should we further entice you by saying that all prices are nett? And that their service staff are excellent? Aboslutely lovely people. Head down to NOM soon!!!!!

Till more food to come.
