A 12 skewer kushiyaki lunch set from Nanbantei at Chinatown Point

Nanbantei, Chinatown Point

The thing that I've always wondered about Nanbantei at Chinatown Point (#02-40, 133 New Bridge Road, tel : +65 6443 5659) was - who's doing all that grilling if the master is at Far East Plaza? We were curious enough to give this branch a go at their lunch. This was a 12 skewer option that was a part of a lunch set which came with oshinko, miso soup, rice and some adzuki bean dessert with mochi.

One could view this as the upgrade to their obento lunch.

The picture on the menu showed a platter of 12 skewers. In reality, the skewers were served in three batches. Which made sense since serving them altogether would only mean that some of them would turn cold by the time you ate them. The were competent enough but also lacked that something which food from the original shop had. The negima was tiny and I didn't like the stick of beef that was slathered with miso/ginger. Well, at least now we know.
