Ootoya in Singapore

A few weeks ago, I suddenly have the urge for Japanese Katsu and Oysters. Therefore, I decided to make the trip down to 'Orchard Central'. However, that's a Wednesday and due to the promotion at 'Tonkichi' every Wednesday, the queue outside 'Tonkichi' every Wednesday will always ended up to be pretty long. In the end, I decided to give the other Japanese restaurants nearby a try instead.

'Chicken Katsutoji Jyuu Set' The 'Chicken Katsu' over here are pretty crunchy and delicious. And the fried egg that's covering the 'Katsu' aren't soggy and aren't too salty. Therefore, as and when you took a piece of 'Katsu', a bit of onions and a bit of rice into your mouth, you will experience a sudden sense of happiness. As compared to the 'Katsu', the other dishes that come with the set meal are pretty ordinary. (By the way, in terms of the taste and the texture, I still think that 'Tonkichi' still serve the best 'Tonkatsu' in Singapore.)

'Asari Seiro' Pretty much the same way how 'Dim Sum' was prepared, the chef had thrown ingredients like 'rice', 'vegetables', 'mushrooms', 'clams' into the 'Dim Sum' basket and steam them together. The final product has a pretty exciting and delicious taste as compared to an ordinary 'fried rice'. Besides for the taste, the rice were pretty soft too and the chef has also added a generous portion of ingredients into this dish. (Too bad they didn't have a similar dish that was made out of 'Oysters'. I seriously would like to give it a try.)

This shows the interior of the Japanese restaurant. I guess that most of you should have a pretty good idea what's the name of this Japanese restaurant already.

That's right. The name of this Japanese restaurant would be 'Ootoya'. This would be one of the Singapore branches that is located on level 8 of 'Orchard Central' shopping mall.
