The Traveling Hungryboy

I've been wanting to come to this shop for a while now (15 Stamford Road #01-87, 6384-9087), in large part because they apparently featured a chef who worked at some famous tempura place from Japan. Best of all, they had a lunchtime udon set for only S$15 (US$11). That sounded like a steal!

I was thus rather disappointed to find then that the batter was soft and chewy, not the light and airy perfection that I was expecting. Indeed, I never would've thought that this had some prestigious lineage if no one had told me. Well, at least the ingredients were of decent quality and still not a bad deal for such a low price.

The other thing that this place is known for is a bara chirashi in a triple drawer wooden box called okamochi. But it seemed a bit gimmicky and even impractical, as the fish and rice were spread thinly across the trays, which to me it just seems like it would make it very difficult to eat compared to a bowl.
