Japanese Ala Carte Buffet Restaurant!

Since we "lost" Igen at East Coast Road (next to the Thai Express at Siglap), we've been looking out for another. Last week HL went to Elias Mall for lunch with his colleagues and discovered a JACBR at the Pasir Ris Elias Community Club, so we went to try it out yesterday.

Decor was so-so, definitely not as posh as Igen, but at least it's more spacious, and I prefer the service here. We loved the food. Softshell crab was crisp but not oily (good fire control, as the Chinese put it), sashimi was fresh, plentiful and attractive (we ordered 4 plates of Moriwase in total, sampled Kajiki Toro, Sake, Maguro, fresh sweet Scallop, Tai, Ika which I dislike, whatever the chef gives but you can specify your preference so we told them no more Ika please), and they had Ikura (flying fish roe) sushi too! As much as you like! But this being the first time we're trying this, we discovered we cannot eat too much, maybe max 2 pieces each, as the taste is a little too strong for us. Loved their Temaki too. Chawanmushi was fresh, soft and yummy, it took some time coming so we knew it was made to order. I guess it helped that we were the first customers of the evening. Nobody else came in the whole hour we were there.

Name: Hi Sshou Japanese Restaurant
Address: Pasir Ris Elias Community Club, Pasir Ris Dr 3, next to Elias mall
Cost: Adults $29.90++, Children (5-11) $14.90++, kids below 5 dine free
Dinner hours: 6pm to... er... not sure
They open for lunch too but I didn't pay attention to the time.

People in the East must try!! I'm not too keen on visiting Sakura frequently. Next time I think I shall gather up some courage to try the Nattou. Heard it stinks, but taste?
