Mitsu Sushi Bar - Super Fresh Sashimi and Sushi

A new friend that I made during a hiking trip was returning back to the US and I wanted to treat him to a farewell dinner. He said he wanted to have some good sushi so I brought him to Mitsu Sushi Bar.

Mitsu Sushi Bar - Restaurant Front

Mitsu Sushi Bar is a small Japanese restaurant on Duxton Road that specializes in sushi and sashimi. There are also Japanese rice bowls, noodles, seafood and meat dishes.

Decor

There are only counter seats on the  ground floor of Mitsu Sushi Bar. These 12 counter seats all face the counter, giving you full view of the sushi chef at work.

The wooden earthen furnishings makes this small Japanese restaurant feel very authentic.

There are Japanese-style rooms on the upper floor for groups of 4 people and more (reservation needed).

The Food

To ensure optimal freshness and best selection of fish, Mitsu Sushi Bar ships fresh fish and produce five times a week from two of Japan’s most well-known markets, Kyushu and Hokkaido.

Mitsu Sushi Bar - Sake Display

Mitsu Sushi Bar serves a wide variety of sake and sochu to complement their seafood dishes. The restaurant even imports fresh unpasteurized sake via cold-chain supply to ensure the finest quality.

This is Mitsu Sushi Bar’s menu in PDF format which you can also find here.

Mitsu Sushi Bar - Fugu Mirin Boshi

I have always wanted to try fugu (Japanese pufferfish) so I ordered Fugu Mirin Boshi (Grilled Marinated Pufferfish [S$13]. I was really disappointed because these look like warmed-up fish strips. They don’t bear any resemblance to pufferfish, the only good thing is there is no fishy taste.

Mitsu Sushi Bar - Shiromi Haru Maki

Even though Shiromi Hari Maki (Fish Meat and Burdock Spring Roll) [S$7] is from the Recommendation menu, I am not impressed. It tastes like regular deep-fried spring rolls, all I could taste was the burdock.

I have always wanted to try omakase where the chef decides you eat but the hefty price puts me off. Mitsu Sushi Bar offers lunch and dinner omasake sets at S$68++ - S$188++ and S$118++ - S$298++ respectively.

Mitsu Sushi Bar - Kaze Sushi

You can also order sushi sets such as Kaze Sushi [S$78] from the ala carte menu. The Kaze sushi set comes with 8 pieces of sushi and 1 maki. The staff explained the 8 pieces of sushi and they were:

  • Toro Sushi
  • Flounder Fin with Uni Sushi
  • Shima-aji (Stripjack) Sushi
  • Kimedai (Golden Eye Snapper) Sushi
  • Madai (Sea Bream) Sushi
  • Ikura Sushi
  • Tamago Sushi
  • Hegitoro Maki

The sushi changes according to the type of fish available.

Mitsu Sushi Bar - Kaisen Don

For the carb-lovers, donburis such as  Kaisen Don [S$38] is a great option. You get thick pieces of tuna, salmon and anmberjack, melt-in-the-mouth uni, sweet Hokkaido scallop, sweet shrimp, squid and egg omelette roll on a bed of sourish sushi rice.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
