Ministry of Food (MOF) - My Izakaya @ Bugis Junction, Singapore

Chanced upon this outlet during one of the walks around Bugis Junction. I have tried MOF in Malaysia before but that outlet only serves dessert and some light sandwiches. No full Japanese fare. The MOF here in Singapore actually serves full Japanese meals including desserts! I have always heard about how good Japanese food is in Singapore compared to Malaysia and took this opportunity to try it out myself.

We arrived there pretty early, before 7pm and the place is already nearly full. So do try to come early so that you get a place. Noticed something cute, they actually have a menu underneath each seating area.

The green tea that they serve is kept in a pot and constantly heated by tea lights.

The tofu avocado salad tastes excellent. Delicious cubes of tofu, avocado, tomatoes, crispy roasted almond slices and an excellent light wasabe-mayo dressing which is out of this world. One of the better salads I have ever tried.

The Unagi with Rice was excellent. The fish is fresh and well marinated. Rice was just nice and warm.

The Udon Set comes with a small bowl of Udon in Soup, five Sashimi pieces and tempura. The sashimi pieces are really fresh. Tempura pieces were just alright. Udon with broth tasted nice and feels like comfort food.

After the meal, they actually gave us a complimentary coffee voucher. You can actually redeem it on the spot. The coffee, just mediocre.

Definitely a great experience here. If I have the chance, I would come here again to try their onigiri :)
