Kushigin

mummy snob spotted this when we were eating at sushi kawana. it was really a hole in the wall kinda restaurant and if anything, it should be good as we saw a number of japanese business man tucking in into their grub. and oh did i mention that a japanese chef was right in the middle of thw sweat fest inside the grill area? immediately plus points for me already!



i came back here today after skipping japanese classes and i was seated behind where there were like mini compartments. btw it was really hot.... They need proper ventilation man



i ordered ox tongue skewer, minced chickeb skewer, bean sprout with pigs intestine in spicy miso sauce and ramen in shoyu sauce.

oh i finally ordered bali hai on tap and i have to say, it tasted good! no wonder the japs keep drinking it



i was given a cabbage salad with soya sauce. it was simple but it worked, although i kept to the thinner pieces



the ox tongue came out first. i squeezed some lemon on it and took a bite. the ox tongue was a little on the salty side, but considering this is more of a robotayaki/izakaya style restaurant plus the beer kinda make it very quite good. plus the ox tongue was really juicy!



then came the spicy miso dish, it was good except it was an overkill for me considering i was alone. i contemplated ordering rice to make this dish even better but i know i wldnt survive the rest of the meal if i did.



the minced chicken skewer came out with a semi boiled egg. the minced chicken had peanuts in it which gave it a different complexity t it. personally i cld have done without the peanut, but it was okay. the skewer dipped with the semi boiled egg was good!



lastly it was the ramen. usually i dont order soya based ramen, and much prefer the tonkatsu or miso ones. but it was clean and refreshing. it wasnt as heavy as the ones i prefer which is good considering how much sweat i was producing in that poorly ventilated space.

i'd definitely come back here and try the other skewers. but its not cheap, i spent bout 200k including the beer
