Besides sushi, Sakae Sushi also offers many variety of Japanese food – one of which is Sumiyaki (a form of Japanese BBQ). There are different sets of Sumiyaki offered at Sakae Sushi Wheelock Place (near Orchard MRT) – different pricing for various quantities and flavours.
We ordered the Sumiyaki Onigiri set at $12.90 which comprised the following items:
* Tebasaki (BBQ Chicken Wings) * Yakitori (Grilled Chicken on Sticks) * Salmon Bara (BBQ Salmon) * Gyu Bara with Asparagus (BBQ Beef Bacon wrapped around Asparagus) * Onigiri Lime (Japanese White Rice Balls) * Onigiri Katsuobushi * Yaki Pineapple * Miso Cabbage * Miso Soup
If you like BBQ food, you will like the Sumiyaki set and you can choose a variety of Sumiyaki sets ranging from $8 to $20 , depending on your preference of ingredients and quantity. For a limited period only, Sakae Sushi Wheelock Place is also offering a 30% discount on single sticks of Sumiyaki (not valid for set meals and platters). Perfect if you just want to sample and try these Japanese BBQ food.

I had the opportunity to ask 9 of my colleagues along for a treat at Hachi Restaurant as part of a Class 95 Office Lunch Treat programme. Class 95 DJs Glenn Ong, Flying Dutchman and Vernetta Lopez were also present to have lunch with us. We were treated to Hachi’s Omakase Dinner which typically comprises 9-10 specially crafted dishes and takes over 2 hours. It starts at $108 per pax. There is also a lunch Omakase available at Hachi with 5 to 7 dishes.
Our Omakase experience consists of 12 dishes – each of them small in quantity but huge in freshness and taste. You won’t feel overwhelmed because the serving is well-paced and planned such that your appetite will first be whetted via light dishes such as asparagus and fresh egg yolk before graduating to oysters and sashimi. You are given a breather at the 7th dish with a soup with mushrooms and clams before the heavy-duty food comes in – Alaskan King Crab and Roasted Wagyu Beef (so tender yet crispy) and fried croquette. It then ends off with soba in light sauce and dessert – black sesame ice-cream. See attached picture for all 12 dishes we conquered.

Having tried the Long Beach restaurant branch at East Coast, we decided to try out the Dempsey branch to see if the food would taste better, considering that this is such a high-class location.
Some of the noteworthy dishes include the black pepper crab - the meat is succulent and juicy; one of the freshest I ever tried. Definitely better than the one we tried at the East Coast branch but we could just be lucky in this instance.
The cereal prawns is also very good - the meat is fresh (there is a taste distinction between farm-bred and those caught at sea - this is definitely the latter which tasted much better).
One other must try dish is the scallop and clams cooked with soy sauce. Again, the seafood here is really fresh and tasted very good.
The best thing about this place is that it is airconditioned so despite some of the dishes being more spicy, it is still very comfortable to dine here.
This restaurant was highly recommended by Straits Times as one of the best places to try Korean food. We ordered the Bibimbap which is a mix of various vegetables with the sweet sauce - it tastes really good. At $5.50, it is quite pricey considering that there is no meat in it.
The other dish we ordered - Ramyon tasted like Maggi Mee cooked in some special spicy sauce. I believe you will also be able to prepare something similar with one of those Korean instant noodles - very pricey at $4.50. It comes with a small side dish of Kimchi.
We tried out the new Pasta Perfetto at Bukit Timah branch Pizza Hut.
I ordered a Fish in Tomato Cream Sauce (their signature Pasta Perfetto Specialty Pasta dish – $11.90). Pizza Hut describes this dish as “Crispy fried fish fillet on a bed of spaghetti gets a refreshing spin with a unique blend of tangy pomodoro and white cream sauces.“
We also ordered a Prawn Aglio Olio ($7.50) – This is the perfect choice if you love the mild spicy kick that comes with fresh prawns on spaghetti with olive oil, freshly crushed garlic and sliced chilli padi.
The Fish in Tomato Cream Sauce Pasta looks very appealing presentation-wise. Another plus is its strong cream sauce smell that makes you want to dive straight into it. Mix well and you are good to go for a yummy pasta meal.
The Aglio Olio was spicy and the prawn was very fresh – very appetising as well. For an additional $5, you can upgrade your meal to include a soft drink, 3 roasted chicken wings and the soup of the day.
Our total bill for 2 comes up to $19.90 for 2 pasta, 3 roasted chicken wings, 1 soft drink and soup of the day. Quite reasonable thanks to the HSBC 1-for-1 Pasta Perfetto Offer.
Service at Bukit Timah Branch Pizza Hut was so-so. I think they are short-handed thus service was rather slow coupled with the fact that there were a lot of customers then. Nonetheless the service staff were polite and understand the product and credit card promotions well.
