Otoko Ten Ten Japanese Food
An upper-crust kickshaw like sashimi and the humble coffee shop don't jibe together, their mere confederation perhaps even tantamounting to sacrilegious? Not so for David Wong, a 39-year-old trained culinarian who once cut his teeth with the renowned Zuma group in Hong Kong. On 15 January 2022, he piloted Otoko Ten Ten at Food Village Punggol along Edgedale Plains, bussing out near-restaurant-grade sashimi (plus sushi, donburis) - to somewhat mixed success. Either spurred or undeterred, Wong afterwards swapped location via National University of Singapore's (NUS) Flavours@UTown; more latterly, another stall saddled up 30 August 2024 at Da Sun Food House within Kitchener Complex.

What knocked our socks off:
We exulted in the chockablock Bara Chirashi Don which simply swolled with deliquescent, pyknic knobs of salmon and maguro (octopus oddments, cucumber too) over mirin-anointed Japonica rice. The à la carte quintuple-doorstopper Hamachi Yellowtail Sashimi, meanwhile, also incited considerable hedonistic gusto. Read: criminally buttery, a skosh sweet, not least copacetically chaste mouthfeel-wise. Accompanying (imitation?) wasabi however totally freight trained nasal passages, therefore you might want to go real easy when applying that stuff.
Bara Chirashi Don ($13.90)
Hamachi Yellowtail Sashimi ($15)
Other item(s) sampled but turned out to be non-event(s):
Tori Nanban Donburi ($9.90)

Tenya Singapore
 Most lauded for slinging unerringly frizzled tempura-headlined donburis, Japanese tendon super chain Tempura Tendon Tenya, or simply Tenya (天丼), first stirred back in 1989 when one Mr Yoshio Iwashita sallied forth with a rather picayune shop at Tokyo station's labyrinthian Yaesu Chikagai mall (八重洲地下街); today it has tentacled across Japan, Philippines, Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, as well as Singapore.......

Reiwa Soba Honten  Reiwa Soba Honten (for the unenlightened, Reiwa, or "beautiful harmony", connotes the current regnancy of Japan's 126th Emperor Naruhito) had humble rumblings as a single Kelantan Road hawker stall way back in August 2020 (permanently winded up on 14 December 2021); another came to pass at Clementi sometime around May 2021 (that too went six feet under......

Super Sushi  Super Sushi arrived sotto voce 18 June, tenanting a crack in a cranny at the basement of Tampines Mall. Its value proposition reads bone-simple: "Sushi Reimagined." - fleshed through downright aberrant, localized takes which see iconic favourites such as nasi lemak, mala chicken, chilli crab and dry laksa turned into familiarly fetching objets d'art (nevertheless, those preferring archetypal varieties à la California maki, grilled eel......
