Budget-Friendly Japanese Tonkatsu: Discover Katsu-AN at Suntec City!

ABBEY: We went here for a couple of times and they didn’t disappoint (except maybe for the queue). They offer a katsu bowl along with soup, drink and shredded cabbage and seasonal vegetable. Enough to fill you up. The katsu is tender; you can even put yellow mustard along with it. 

Don’t foget the sesame dressing on the cabbage. There is pickled ginger to clean the pallet. Slurp their umami miso soup and wash them all down with cold tea. Talk about katsudon and this is a recommended place.

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!

Kotobuki Coffee at Wisma Atria Orchard

ABBEY: We had our lunch date at Kotobuki Japanese Restaurant. A lunch set starts at SGD 9.90 with free flow of salad, coffee and tea. 

I ordered Yakiniku Don; sliced pork rice bowl. The sweet teriyaki sauce runs through the meat and into the rice. This goes well with shredded cabbage, cherry tomatoes and balsamic vinegar as side dish.

WILL: After my session on underarm IPL, Abbey and I went to Wisma Atria for our lunch. 

A big banner at the escalator advertises that Kotobuki having a set lunch for S$9.90+ with free flow of salad, tea and coffee. Well, who will not grab that deal right? 

Before Katsu Jyu was serve on my table, we straight away go to the salad table and I fell for in love with their potato salad and marinates seaweeds. My tummy became full in no time. 

For Pork Katsu , the rice is amazingly heavy and the Pork Katsu is tender enough and you can swallow by two or three chew. Haha! 

This is a little bit too much for about S$10. Thanks Kotobuki. Definitely recommendable.

OMU - Japanese Omurice Restaurant Singapore at Suntec City Mall

ABBEY: The line is so long the first time we tried to eat at Omu. So we headed before the clock strikes noon. No queue. 

I ordered curry sauce omurice with chicken cutlets - lava style (yes the one where the runny scrambled egg flows to the plate once it’s cut). The curry sauce is thick and has lots of flavor. However the breading of chicken cutlets has a little burnt taste and the still can see the raw batter inside.

WILL: Omu is a big craze of 2017 and we are a year late. Apologies for that readers. We made a stop at Omu located at Suntec City. 

There are two choices. Ordinary and "Lava" Style. I chose the ordinary and Abbey got the other. The egg is creamy even it is not "Lava Style". My meal comes with (of course white sauce) cream sauce, spinach, salmon and corn. The sauce is delightfully rich. The salmon cooked with consistency. Half of this plate definitely will fill up your tummy! Yup, this is a heavy meal! 

Go at Omu Rice is always packed with diners on lunch and dinner. Be aware of the timing. :)
