UYA Charcoal-Grilled Live Unagi (Oasia Hotel Novena)

I visited the first Uya Japanese Unagi Restaurant 四代目菊川 in Wheelock Place back in 2019.

The restaurant has since been renamed to UYA Charcoal-Grilled Live Unagi. There is now a second outlet in Oasia Hotel Novena which happens to be next to Marmalade Pantry.

UYA Charcoal-Grilled Live Unagi - Menu

Eel A La Carte

UYA Charcoal-Grilled Live Unagi offers some interesting appetizers made with eels which is not commonly found elsewhere:

UYA Charcoal-Grilled Live Unagi - Deep Fried Liver

Deep Fried Liver [S$9] surprisingly doesn’t have any fishy smell.

UYA Charcoal-Grilled Live Unagi - Crispy Bone

The deep-fried Crispy Bone [S$6] is such an interesting snack. It looks like a whip, and it’s really crispy.

Eel Set Menu

UYA Charcoal-Grilled Live Unagi - Hitsumabushi

Their signature Hitsumabushi [Medium S$37, Large S$50] is still as good as I remembered. It is served with condiments, pickles, broth and miso soup.

UYA Charcoal-Grilled Live Unagi - Hitsumabushi Instructions

If this is your first time having hitsumabushi, you can refer to this card for instructions on how best to enjoy this delicacy. Use the wooden spoon to divide the unagi rice into four portions and scoop into the empty bowl:

  1. Enjoy as it is without adding anything.
  2. Add the condiments (spring onion, wasabi and seaweed) to your liking.
  3. Make ochazuke (rice with soup) with the condiments and dashi broth from the pitcher.
  4. Enjoy it any way you like.

UYA Charcoal-Grilled Live Unagi - Unagi Rice Bowl

There is also Unagi Rice Bowl [Small S$26, Medium S$35] and Unagi Rice Box [Large S$48] which comes with appetizer, soup and pickles.

Desserts

UYA Charcoal-Grilled Live Unagi - Parfait

Matcha custard forms the base of the Parfait [S$12] which is then topped with whipped cream, cereal flakes, azuki beans, a scoop of matcha ice-cream and two matcha-coated biscuit sticks.

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...
