Chikuwa Tei

 A quick and simple lunch at Mohamed Sultan, nearby my old workplace.

 Otoshi (which means appetiser): Pickled lotus roots, these were served complimentary.

Sake Sashimi ($10++)

Fresh, thickly-sliced salmon.. So good you can eat it on its own!

*I was thrilled to see Otoro on their menu, but only to be told that it wasn't available on that day! T_T

 Chawanmushi ($5++)

This might just be the best I've ever had. Simmered with fragrant dashi stock, the silky egg custard glides down your throat without any resistance. It's also worth its price tag; just look at the amount of ingredients in it!

Cod & Vegetables Hot Pot Set ($24++)

The set came with an additional miso soup, rice, and fruits (watermelon). I find this rather value-for-money for their generosity with the cod fish slices(boneless!).

The broth was slightly sweet and quite tasty, perfect for people who want something light.

 Warming the tummy and the soul, I would call this comfort food.

My dining partner had the Yaki Udon set with Salmon (I'd forgotten the price)

I tried a little of it and found it quite decent.

This came with the udon set too

Will definitely recommend this restaurant for true-blue Jap food lovers (no fusion nonsense here) for its affordable lunch sets. They serve a wide variety of sashimi and sushi as well. People who'd like a change from the usual Sushi Tei, Ichiban, or Sakae Sushi can venture here for a nice and quiet meal. But be sure to call up to make reservations as this is a small restaurants and seats are limited.
