A meet up with a good friend was long overdue but i wasn't willing to splurge on expensive restaurants when finance is going to be a problem in the next few months. :(

Knowing my upcoming predicament, this same friend suggested Hifumi Japanese restaurant which supposedly, according to her, offers economically priced Japanese set meals AND throws in a complementary all-you-can-binge-appetizer bar!
To sweeten the deal, you can also get free flow drinks for a mere S$1.99! Definitely the place to while away my afternoon if i simply want to have a long chit-chat session with my friends, especially for big gulpers like the great Kon!!
Guess i shall start with my set meal; the 'recommended' chicken oyakoni set came with rice and miso soup. For the uninitiated, this is simply simmered chicken with onions and egg.
I can only say this is plain comfort food that did not surprise my taste buds given how generic the taste has become in Singapore. The delicious gyu don from Megumi would be much preferred over this oyakoni!
Despite the limited space, you can find more than ten types of appetizers on the bar-top that were frequently topped up by the service staff.
Don't expect fanciful, expensive stuff like sashimi! As you can see from the picture above, i took nine different appetizers; yes, the grilled onion was one of them. Out of the nine, i absolutely dislike the disgusting jelly salad!!!
Alex, if he had joined us, would obviously indulged in the mini-cups of chawanmushi (steamed egg) that were truthfully better than what you can get from Sakae Sushi nowadays.
My favorite had to be the rich pumpkin walnut salad with sizable crunchy brained shaped walnuts that have the marvelous ability to increase fat oxidation and improve memory!
I want need its power!!
