I can't believe it took me so long to visit this place despite how near it is from where I stay. To be honest, I have walked past it so many times but I never really take notice of this place till I read some good reviews online #powerofinternet It's located outside of Bugis Junction, beside Fish n Co., at the less crowded end so I guess not many people know about this place. This place is truly a hidden gem and i'm really glad we decided to try this out on last Fri night..hehe!

Sumire is an established  yakitori restaurant in Tokyo with around 15 outlets, serving a wide range of good quality food such as yakitori, agemono, udon, ramen, rice, etc. with affordable price. The price of the food here is surprisingly affordable and I think this is by far the best yakitori that I have ever eaten in sg..haha!

As you can see above, we ordered quite a lot for 2 pax but we just feel like trying everything on the menu. The Bakudan Korokke is the main reason that I want to try sumire..lol! It's a giant potato croquette with a surprise inside! THERE'S AN EGG INSIDE OMG and the egg yolk oozed out when we cut open the potato croquette..omg this has got to be my favorite dish at sumire!! MUST TRY!!! The croquette is crispy at the outside and filled with creamy mashed potato and of course the egg complement the dish perfectly. As a tamago lover, I have to order the tamagoyaki with mentai cheese and it certainly didn't disappoint me, thumbs up~

For the yakitori, we ordered Gyu Kushi with Black Pepper, Enoki Bacon and Cheese Tsukune. My favorite is definitely the Cheese Tsukune! Their tsukune comes in 2 sizes which are 'men' and 'female'. Apparently the 'men' version consists of 2 meatballs with bigger size whereas the 'female' version consists of 3 smaller meatballs. We ordered the 'men' size anyway..lol! And not forgetting the grilled squid which is super affordable in our opinion!!

We ordered a sparkling sake and calamansi whiskey to share and the total bill came to about S$74 with 7 food items and 2 alcoholic drinks. This place definitely serve good quality food with reasonable price and the service is really good too. So glad that Carol was really steady and ok with whatever I suggested to order hahahaha! Awesome dinner with awesome company definitely made my day! :)

I guess the pictures kinda tell the whole story. We actually queued for an hour for this, it was really insane! The salmon sashimi was certainly a cheap thrill, $3 for 5 fat slices! Anelie wanted to order 50 slices(?!) but I stopped her so we cut down to 40 slices instead. Man I was so wrong to underestimate her appetite, I think she could finish all 40 slices by herself! Beside the sashimi, we also order the rock star sushi roll, tamago sushi and chawanmushi to share. It was really shiok to eat salmon sashimi like this, I think i never had so much sashimi at once in my life. We were so excited when they served us the sashimi, hehe! The rock star sushi roll was really yummy too!

"Just inhale the salmon sashimi~" quoted by Anelie..lol!
