Sakuraya Fish Dining Mart (Parkway Parade outlet)

You can shop and/ or dine when you visit this casual Japanese eatery.  The various fresh fishes on display are available for salt-grilled, deep fry or sashimi.  You can buy them home or get them to prepare it for you to dine there.


We ordered the soft shell crab sushi and kappa maki to start.  It was very good.


The tuna sashimi was really fresh.  We picked it from the counter and they prepared it for us.  It was delicious.

My chawanmushi was very nice.  It was tasty and came with a mushroom and a slice of Japanese fishcake.  Alas, I only remembered to take a shot after I had stirred it... Lol


The Shishamo yaki was really nice too.  We requested for them to grill it slightly longer when we ordered and it was perfect!


The prawn tempura batter was crispy and light.  It was also not too oily either. 


Again, we requested for the Saba Shioyaki to be grilled slightly longer when we placed our order.  It was very good.  The other two dishes that we had was the grilled salmon head and the fresh scallops sashimi.  I had forgotten to take shots of both.  The salmon head was excellent!  The flesh was tender and juicy and not dry at all even though it was grilled.  The fresh scallops were really fresh too.

I would definitely visit this eatery again.  Everything was fresh and fabulous.  However, be prepared to queue as they do get a lot of customers and not too many tables.

Razack's Kitchen Halal Hong Kong Noodles and Rice


This coffeeshop is located in an old shophouse and the owners were originally from Hong Kong.  My friend and I were not hungry as we had lunch about a couple of hours ago.  We were talking about food as usual and I remembered this eatery as it was featured in a television "makan" programme.  My friend googled and we found it.

We did not order a lot so we decided to share a Mee Hongkong (my fave, btw) and just a couple of dim sum dishes.  The noodles were good, not too salty, rather tasty and the consistency of the sauce was just right.  I am sure fans of Mee Hongkong will agree that it is now difficult to find a good one nowadays.



Next, we had the Crispy Beancurd Skin stuff with chicken and prawns.  It was piping hot and very good.  Excellent as a snack.



The other one we ordered was the shark's fin dumpling.  It was not as tasty as I expected it to be.   



I would definitely come back again to try out other dishes.  The elderly couple who owns this modest eatery are also very friendly.  They are apparently known for their Bak Chang as well.  Perhaps I will try that next time.

Changi Road, just after the junction of Telok Kurau.
If you are coming from Bedok, keep left at the junction and veer into
the carpark area immediately after the traffic light to the first row of shophouses you see on the left.
