Sumo House (Clementi Central)

Yesterday was my first time going to sumo house. I do agree that the food was cheap and there was free flow of hot green tea. The service was good and there was complimetary plate of fried fish served as more than 4 person patronized their store. I was quite disappointed when my udon in iron pot came. I ordered the udon in iron pot because i was wishing that my udon will be constantly be heated up. But when the food came, i realised that the iron pot was not placed over a flame. This made me wonder why anyone will wanna eat in a iron pot. Wouldn't the food turn cold even faster than normal.

Other than the udon in iron pot, i will say the sumo house is definitely a good place to have your meal when you really have no budget.

We all know Japanese food as expensive, pocket-ripping cuisine that's irresistible at the same time! But fear not (especially students!), because Sumo House is here to the rescue!

I used to patronize Sumo House at Bedok Central, but after they closed down that outlet, I never went there anymore. But recently I had the chance to go to Clementi, of course I didn't miss the chance to have Sumo House!

Although most of the things sold at Sumo House are mainly rice and noodles stuff, and not the fresh sashimi which maybe many love, I think what you can get from them is really good enough.

I ordered a Katsu Curry and my friend got a Yakimeshi (Breaded Chicken with Fried Rice), both to go. Although we had to pay an extra 50c, I was rather impressed when I received my food. As I did not have a proper table to eat (at where I was), because the bento was properly packed and the food well arranged, it made eating while sitting on the floor very convenient. I felt that their curry rice was good and the chicken wasn't too soggy (after being soaked under the hot curry gravy). The curry had a tinge of sweetness and got me wanting for more! As for their fried rice, it wasn't too salty but I found it rather oily. And the breaded chicken was crispy and tender too! Lastly, the miso soup! Half the time I get very salty miso soup when I have Japanese food, obviously instant-soup. But this time I found the miso soup tasty and not salty, with a generous serving of seaweed! The only thing lacking probably was tofu cubes.

The best thing - Both our bentos were less than $6! I'd definitely recommend everyone to try out Sumo House!
