Sakuraya

The weather was quite good today...no dark clouds threatening to unleash a heavy downpour on us. So Aileen and I decided, instead of frequenting the usual cafeterias around our office, to venture a little further today. We decided on Sakuraya, another Japanese restaurant tucked away on the 2nd storey of the Village Centre along South Bouna Vista Road.

Aileen recommended we go for the Sashimi as the cuts of fish sold at the restaurant are really fresh. So when we arrived there, we wasted to time in choosing a few cuts of salmon, salmon belly and swordfish.

We also ordered some other side dishes to go along with our sashimi platter.

Looks like such small servings right? Well, I was surprisingly stuffed after our satisfying lunch and was quite grateful for the short walk from the Village Centre to the bus stop! This was one meal that has not only met and but exceeded my expectations. The sashimi slices were INDEED very fresh and tasty. And the cooked food selections were equally tasty and well prepared as well. Needless to say, between the 2 of us, we practically cleaned up the plates (yes, even the wasabi...THAT was Aileen @.@) And the price (the MAIN consideration for me) was very reasonable. It was worth every single cent.

I also like the fact that the restaurant, by virtue of the fact that it is also suppose to be like a fish mart, sold other Japanese foodstuff there (miso paste, udon noodles, etc). So convenient.

I am definitely going to come back to sample the yummilicious sashimi again. This time I will bring along my dear, long suffering husband to savour the selection there. Compensation for the non-treat on his birthday perhaps? :P
