Megumi Japanese Restaurant @ Upper East Coast Road (Siglap)

Mr Kon has always been a great the best contributor for the restaurants i patronised and this time, it's this Japanese restaurant in the famous chill-out area; Siglap.

I don't have to give much explanation on Japanese cuisine, with it gaining a very strong foothold in Singapore for a few decades already.

So let's go straight to the food we had!

Mixed Sashimi Salad

Overall, this was a refreshing dish with its use of raw seafood instead of cooked meat as we usually know. 

Sadly, the dressings and seasonings seemed to be out of place. Personally, raw fish should just go with soy sauce and wasabi.

UFO Maki

The soft vinegarish rice with generous sprinklings of fish roe was obviously a big contrast to the crunchy fried seafood wrapped in the middle.

I love it!

Tempura Moriawase

They were not extraordinary.

Henceforth, not something i will specially come back for.

Suki Yaki

This is a dish i will definitely come back for!

The slices of nicely marbled beef were nothing to scream about. It's the soup that really matters in tingling thousands of your taste buds!

Clear, light yet full of flavours!!

Tori Katsu Curry Rice

Granted the chicken cutlet was crunchy but we all know Japanese curry differs very much from the Indian, Singapore curry we know.

Yes, i still prefer the curry prepared by my dear mummy!

Unagi Yaki Meshi

Typically a dish of fried rice with grilled eel, the unagi was not as tasty as what i expected it.

On its own however, the fried rice was a killer!!!

Gyu Don

My favourite BBQ beef don of all times came from this home style Japanese eatery in Junction, which had since closed down.

For a long period of time, a comparable gyu don had never been found. Until yesterday when i dined in Megumi!

Each spoonful was so amazingly memorable; slightly soggy rice that was soaked in a delish teriyaki sauce with one raw egg, slices of fresh onions, spring onions, seaweed and of course, yummy beef!!

Shoyu Char Siew Ramen

With my take on various famous ramen restaurants this year, this took a pretty average rating.

=====

With the best gyu don and sukiyaki i ever have, this is a restaurant i am confirmed to be back again!
