Review Pelanggan untuk Itacho Sushi

Roasted Salmon with Foie Gras. The only thing that made me order this was the foie gras. Foie gras and it's affordable. And it turned into another disappointment. First, the salmon was super thin, didn't taste much. Then the rice was also too damn plain. No salmon juice aroma or anything. My best guess is they didn't torch the salmon on top of the rice but torched it first then put the torched salmon on top of the rice instead. Otherwise it means the salmon wasn't that good in the first place. The foie gras, just forget it. Didn't taste like one. It's not even similar with the foie gras I remember. I should have known that from the very start, it's too good to be true. But at least it got some taste to it.

Roasted Salmon Skin with Butter and Blackpepper. The skin was way too thin and tasteless. The butter and blackpepper weren't even existed. There's no butter block kind of thing like the picture on the menu. Did the chef mess up and gave me a total different menu? I know that the real dish and the picture on the menu can be different but to remove the most essential component? Not wise I gotta say. 

Like any itacho place, they do have special promotion menu, a super cheap one. And the rule is one person can only buy that a piece. And this is that menu. I tried itacho in SG and the special promotion sushi was the best cheap sushi I've ever had. It almost tasted better than their regular sushi. But here, total disappointment. The rice was way too solid and plain. Lacked of that sourness like any good sushi rice has. Not to mention the misleading butter and blackpepper name. Before you judge me with "deal with it, it's the cheap one", I'd like to tell you that the rice on the regular sushi was no better than this. 

The rule is one sushi per person right? In my personal opinion, better keep it that way. So no one will buy it in numerous amount and feel like being deceived.
To sum my sushi review in 1 word : pathetic. No hard feelings but it is what it is. The sushi was sucks, the only good menu I tried that day was the skewers. Unlike this pretty f*cked up sushi, the skewers were nice.

Teriyaki Chicken with Yuzu Kosho. A solid skewer. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The burnt charred aroma was good. It had that charred smokiness to it. Then the spring onion, it gave crunchy texture and earthiness to it. I love spring onion in chicken skewer. I just do.

Then I tried to use the yellowish pile of sauce which was the yuzu kosho. It introduced a nice surprising flavors. Zesty, salty and bit spicy. I gotta say you must use it if you happen to eat this. The zestyness and spiciness of the yuzu really enhanced the charred chicken and the earthiness of the spring onion balanced the flavor out.
