go-to japanese rice bowls w/o breaking the bank 😮‍💨

when things get rough i feel like #MyGoTo comfort food is always rice bowls.... 🥲 and sukiya was definitely an amazing find for future episodes where i just need to stuff my face with solid grains 🤡 now i know they aren't new in town, in fact they're literally all across the island with up to 11 branches - but it was my first time trying it finally and it's safe to say that both my tummy and wallets were happy and satisfied 🤤

📍11 locations across the island including jewel, funan and century square

🚶 all locations are either heartland malls / common locations which are super accessible!

📆 most locations are open daily from 10am - 10pm

— FOOD CHECK 🍚 | 5/5

i think sukiya really checks the boxes for a whole lot of things:

💸 budget friendly: you can literally fill your tummy with about $10 without breaking the bank

😮‍💨 stomach friendly: there are various different sizes ranging from S, M, L to even XM which means same amount of rice but more meat! so there's flexibility based on how hungry you are that day

🍖 not to mention they provide lots of options ranging from gyudon to yakitori to karaage.. you name it

with that in mind, here's what we eventually got:

01 — 🧀 curry rice with beef & triple cheese (S $9.7)

curry rice with double toppings: beef and triple cheese

✔️ cheese melted really nicely when mixed with the hot curry which created that sticky texture without being overwhelming

✔️ solid amount of curry such that every bite of rice was nice and flavourful!

✔️ meat was tender - not the best out there, but loved that it wasn't overly tough and went well with the cheese

02 — 🐮 double half boiled egg gyudon (XM $8.8)

2pc half boiled eggs topping on gyudon for people who love egg

✔️ eggs come fresh for you to crack and it's really the perfect level of half boiled

✔️ ordering XM for this is a bomb decision because you get a whole lot of moist meat when mixed with egg

03 — 🍢 double half boiled egg yakitori bowl (L $8.4)

yakitori bowl with 2pc half boiled eggs

✔️ this is like 02 but elevated with the savory flavour of the yakitori

✔️ goes super well with the condiments that every table is given i.e. chilli flakes, red ginger so it won't be jelat at well

04 — 🧅 spring onion and half boiled egg gyudon (L $8.8)

comes with sweet spicy korean chilli pepper sauce and a half boiled egg to make it super fresh

✔️ literally comes as a mountain of spring onion...

✔️ when mixed with the chilli and the meat, it becomes super fresh without becoming jelat again

so yes, this was really... a good meal that provided us with the comfort of carbs 🍚 and it did keep our walelts intact for sure. i'd definitely be back again - maybe not all the way in jewel since it's pretty far from me, but i'll definitely stop by one of their outlets closer to the central area. let me know if you'd tried sukiya... and if you have your own comfort carb recommendations!!
