Hello Unregistered,

30 Victoria Street, 02-01 Chijmes, Tel: 6336-3166 Open: Noon to 3pm, 6.30 to 11pm (Sundays to Thursdays), 6.30pm to midnight (Fridays and Saturdays)

When you order kamameshi or rice cooked and served in a pot, you have to suffer a bit of delayed gratification, but what exquisite suffering it is.

The waiter will tell you not to lift the wooden lift immediately. Wait until the violently pink sand in the little hour glass runs out, he will say.

It takes about a minute, during which you can fidget, look at the hour glass, drink some water, then look at the hour glass again.

When you finally open the pot, all these wonderful smells waft out from it. It is worth the wait.

You can mush the foie gras up with the rice or eat the piece whole. But take time to savour the thick slices of beef tenderloin.

Dig into the pot and you’ll find bright green broad beans, chunks of sweet and delicious chestnut, shredded carrots and mushrooms. The plump rice grains, cooked in fish stock, are delicious.

Although the ingredients are the kind that shout for attention, this dish still manages to be comforting and homey. It is just the thing to perk up a jaded palate.

The dish comes in two set versions at lunch. The $28.80 one comes with sashimi, while the $25.80 set includes a cold dish. At dinner, it costs $19.50 a la carte.
