Counter Seating Kaunta Seki at Mitsuba Japanese Cheap Buffet - The Central Clarke Quay

ABBEY: As Christmas is nearing, me, Wilma and Chat planned our buffet Christmas dinner at Mitsuba.

And we got the best seat in the house; a bar seat (in front of the chef). We didn’t waste a minute and we immediately ordered via iPad all the Chef’s Choice items like Sashimi Moriawase (the swordfish is so tender), Sake Mentai Aburi, Ikura Sushi, Spider Temaki, and Wagyu Bifu Maki. My repeat orders are roast pork belly (yaki buta), ebi tempura, smoked duck (oh the layer of fat melts in your mouth), and Meltique Bifu (beef slice with garlic and salt). They also have ice cream; chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, and lychee flavors.

There are hundreds of choices so be sure to keep the orders coming but in moderation. I can say that we’ll definitely be back to this restaurant.

WILL: Mitsuba is one of the renowned sushi buffet here in Singapore. If you’ll check the online reviews and the long queue outside their restaurant, you’ll be curious and persuaded to check and book a table with them. And I am one of the proud victim of my own curiosity. Haha. I purposely indicated that we want to be sitting in front of the chefs, and we were granted with our request. What is the pero of that? You can see them do their masterpieces and your order is super fast that they will just hand it out to you. No to a long waiting time. 

So how was it? I have told to Abbey, that is is a bank for the buck! The price of $56.90++ is totally worth it. We’ll be saving our 2 dinner trips in a sushi conveyor belts to eat here in Mitsuba. What you should not skip (sashimis are given) Spider and Unaki Temaki, Dobinmushi, the crunchy and melt in your mouth Yaki Buta, Ika Geso and Salmon Skin. 

Will surely coming back here and of course still requesting Mitsuba for counter seating. See you there!

HUBER’S BUTCHERY THE BISTRO: CHEAP WITH A QUALITY STEAK IN SINGAPORE

ABBEY: Another restaurant to satisfy your steak cravings but not break the bank. I got medium-well hanger steak with sides of potato tartiflette (premium version of potato with cheese), corn and chimichurri sauce. 

My beef is tender and juicy; no tough part. And the corn kernels almost fall off the cob. As for the potato, it is blanketed by melted gruyere cheese. Adjacent to the restaurant is their butchery. Pick your choices of meat and take them home.

HUBER’S BUTCHERY THE BISTRO: CHEAP WITH A QUALITY STEAK IN SINGAPORE

WILL: Steak is one of the intimidating foods to eat. There are rules on how to cook the meat itself and etiquettes to follow while eating in a steakhouse. Well, that breaks your comfort zone if you are always prompted to dine in a fast food chain. Right? But here comes Huber’s Bistro located few steps away from Singapore Botanic Gardens. 

The Bistro's aura is friendly and accommodating. Not too casual but not too fancy either. It is like a diner ambiance that staffs are willing to go beyond to serve you and know you better. So how’s the steak? It is flavourful and definitely not came from a frozen meat. It is tender, milky and juicy! The price? Starts at $24! It is like you are buying a raw meat of 200grams. 

They have their own butchery that might explain their affordable pricing for the steaks. Ha! This is our favourite place for steaks right now! Visit them whenever you are Singapore Botanic Gardens
