kagoshima wagyu sukiyaki konabe 

lost the bet on euro 2016 finals to a good OPS primary school friend.

not that i particularly knowledgeable on soccer & both finalist portugal & france not my favourite teams. anyway france home team & lesser of my “unfavoruites”…the result = i lost.

so we went for lunch at mikuni on 31.8.2016. ^^

last time i came with my OPS primary school friends was on 4.7.2016.

i ordered the mikuni chirashi for myself. for my friend i ordered the lobster uniyaki + kagoshima wagyu sukiyaki konabe. those are always great dishes & safer orders. not everyone likes sashimi.

prawn crakers & salad 

we had the usual prawn crackers.

for my chirashi i had a simply salad.

chirashi don 

my chirashi don today was better than usual.

for a start, the don (rice) at mikuni always quite poor. today it was very tasty. there were some small chopped pickles in the don also.

chirashi don 

& very good sashimi, though that has always been. notably the really huge botan ebi today, 2 pieces of chutoro, & uni. quite excellent.

lobster uniyaki 

my friend enjoyed the kagoshima wagyu (top photo), very tasty “pang” he said.

& like me, he liked it rare. o know its marbled & tasty.

but the soup is too thick & salty & no finesse (eg like what hachi served in its omakase lunch).

& the lobster was quite big today. on some days it looked like 400g. today it was like 500g. it came with the bonito soup dip. my friend quite enjoyed it too.

creme brulee dessert 

i declined to order dessert. i had a creme brulee dessert in my set so i passed it to my friend.

i didn’t order tea also. amex “love-dining” offers 50% discounts for 2pax (for up to 5pax on mondays). tea cost S$5 no discounts.

2pax lunch came to S$112. quite ok for the quality of food.
