Unagiya Ichinoji 鳗家一の字 - 125 Years Old Unagi Restaurant from Tokyo

If you have been following my blog, you know that I have been on a unagi craze for the past few weeks. 

I have already been to Man Man Japanese Unagi Restaurant, Una Una, Unaemon and Uya Japanese Unagi Restaurant. The last unagi restaurant on my list is Unagi Ichinoji. 

Unagi Ichinoji - Outside

Unagi Ichinoji originated from Tokyo, Japan. This unagi speciality restaurant has been around for 125 years and it is known as Miyagawa Hoten in Japan. The Singapore outlet at Robertson Quay is their first overseas outlet. 

Unagi Ichinoji can be a little tricky to find. I walked around Village Residence Roberson Quay twice before I finally found the place. Look out for the signage that says “Village Residence Robertson Quay” between Italian restaurant Mondo Mio and Japanese restaurant Amazing Hokkaido.

Unagi Ichinoji’s black-colored exterior shows understated elegance. Black wooden panel and glass sliding doors merges traditional Japanese elements with contemporary design.

The seating capacity of Unagi Ichinoji is much small than the other restaurants. There are 4 counter seats and 3-4 tables, the total seating capacity is around 20 people or so. This is probably why there is always a long queue at Unagi Ichinoji.

Unagi Ichinoji specializes in unagi, it’s all about unagi in this restaurant. Besides Nagoya style grilled unagi, there is also seiro mushi (steamed eel) and mamushi donburi. 

Unagi Ichinoji - Hitsumabushi Set

Unagi Ichinoji’s Hitsumabushi comes in four sizes - Small (S)[S$26.80], Medium (M) [S$32.80], Large (L) [S$38.80] and Extra Large (XL) [S$84.80]. You can choose to have your unagi cooked with original Tokyo Style Sauce or sweeter Singapore Style Sauce.

The Hitsumabushi I have here is the Large (L) size with traditional Tokyo Style Sauce. The unagi is crispy on the outside yet melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside. Paired with the fluffy Japanese rice, it is really “a match made in heaven”.

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...
