Chirashizushi Shou, Bukit Timah Plaza

Chirashizushi Shou, Bukit Timah Plaza

Local joint that's known for raw fish rice bowls. The folks behind Chirashizushi Shou (#B1-55A Bukit Timah Plaza, 1 Jalan Anak Bukit, tel : +65 8810 4190) are same as the ones that previously used to run the currently defunct Sumo-Ya. Shop is right next door to Myung Ga II.

From what I understood, the rice in chirashi uses sumeshi which is the vinegared rice that is used for shari in sushi. Kaisendon uses regular rice. Everything here uses sumeshi so I don't know what is the difference between their chirashi and kaisendon. They don't even differentiate between chirashi and barachirashi.

Chirashizushi Shou, kaki chirashi don

That's their kaki chirashi don. Technically a kaki barachirashi but let's not go further down that road. The quality of the cubed sashimi was meh. 😒 Oysters were awesome though. 😬 Three fat, creamy and briny ones which were pretty much the stars of the bowl.

Chirashizushi Shou, premium aburi don

Their premium aburi don featured scallops, unagi, anago, ikura and three thick slices of fish - salmon, hamachi and what I believe to be tuna. I wasn't sure. 😂 Yeah, it's like that. Aside from the eels, the rest of the fishes were strangely muted in flavour and also lacking much smokiness from the aburi. Even the scallops didn't have much taste.😳

Chirashizushi Shou, ebi mentaiko yaki

Grilled prawns with mentai mayo were not bad tasting though. 

Chirashizushi Shou, sanma shioyaki

There's sanma shioyaki. Enjoyed it. Fish was small but it also wasn't expensive.
