Uya Japanese Unagi Restaurant 四代目菊川

Man Man Japanese Unagi Restaurant was the first restaurant that introduced me to the wonderful world of unagi don. 

I have been on a unagi don spree for the past few weeks. I have tried Una Una, Unaemon and now I am going on to the forth restaurant, Uya Japanese Unagi Restaurant 四代目菊川。

Uya Japanese Unagi Restaurant - Restaurant Front

Located on the 2nd level of Wheelock Place, I was pleasantly surprised by the entrance of Uya Japanese Unagi Restaurant. 

The bamboo panel and wooden cashier counter are angled with white Japanese curtains that leads you into the restaurant. An eel is projected to be swimming on the floor. 

Uya Japanese Unagi Restaurant - Interior

The interior is just as beautifully decorated with a wooden partition that separates the private rooms from the rest of the restaurant. 

I especially like sitting at the communal table surrounding a fake autumn leave tree. It really makes me feel like I am enjoying momijigari (autumn leave viewing) in Japan.

The menu is written in Japanese with English translations below. It does make the restaurant feel more authentic than other restaurants. 

Uya Japanese Unagi Restaurant - Hitsumabushi Set

Uya Japanese Unagi Restaurant - Hitsumabushi

The signature Hitsumabushi [S$35 for Medium, S$48 for Large] can be found on the last page of the menu, which I find rather weird. 

The chopped unagi is served in a black lacquer tray with red lining, accompanied by condiments, daikon broth, miso soup and pickles. 

The unagi are fork-tender juicy with beautiful golden crispy skin but I find it a little on the bland side. I do wish there could be just a little more sweetness to the unagi and everything will be perfect.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
