Japanese Curry Express (#03-04 Fortune Centre, 190 Middle Road, tel : +65 9689 6314) has sporadically popped up in my radar over the years. In spite of the name, these guys do not just serve Japanese curry. There're a bunch of other stuff like makis, donburis and miscellaneous small plates that can be ordered. The food is localized Japanese. I've never paid much attention to them before.
We tried a few items that they were known for. Like their mentai salmon don. Not bad. Would have liked it better if they aburi-ed the salmon to the point where the meat had a smoky char.
Their ebi mango maki was nice. The salty tobiko popping over the tangy sweet mango draped across freshly fried prawn covered in rice was just fun textures and a tasty melange of flavours.
Their salmon sashimi came in thick slices. Reminded me of the old Wasabi Tei.
Chawanmushi was served in a huge bowl and steamed to order. This was easily more than double the portion of most chawanmushi servings. Hidden in the steamed egg were bits of scallops, a prawn, chicken and naruto. I liked that they added a drizzle of La-Yu for some heat. A nice bit of warm distraction from the homogeneously savoury egg custard.
