The Food Dossier

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 (sushi, donburis too) - 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 (as well as octopus oddments, cucumber) 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 wish to go real easy on its application.

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)
