SG Food on Foot's Monthly Grub Recommendation March 2017

In the blink of an eye, we are in the 4th edition of the Monthly Grub Recommendation. For this March 2017 listing, I am recommending 6 new restaurants that have opened recently which I have visited and enjoyed the food there. On top of that, 2 restaurants have refreshed their menu which is worthy of a visit. Last but not least, Japanese Restaurant Week is taking place this month whereby diners stand a chance to win air tickets to Japan.

Teppanyaki Hamburg Nihonbashi Keisuke Bettei @ Peck Seah Street (Tanjong Pagar) - Beef Hamburg Set With Free Flow Osozai And Eggs

Ramen Keisuke Group has established itself as the kingpin of Japanese comfort food in Singapore with another new dining concept, Teppanyaki Hamburg Nihonbashi Keisuke Beettei at Peck Seah Street in Tanjong Pagar. The menu here is keep simple. Offering only two main dishes but with unlimited free flow of Japanese side dishes and eggs cooked in different style.

Osozai 4.2/5

The impressive spread of Osozai or Japanese side dishes caught my attention when I stepped into the restaurant. At any one time, they are around 20 different items which will be rotated daily. You can find items such as fresh greens, cha soba salad, pasta salad with tuna & eggplant, simmered pumpkin and pickled cabbage. All there are free flow!

Not forgetting, the mains come with free flow eggs too. There are in all 8 different style of cooking the eggs. You can get different eggs cooked to your preference of style such as scrambled, sunny-side up and Japanese tamagoyaki etc.

The highlight at Teppanyaki Hamburg Nihonbashi Keisuke Bettei is the US prime US beef patties, seared on a teppanyaki grill and served sizzling on hotplates.

Keisuke Prime Beef Hamburg Set 4.2/5

As I mentioned earlier, Teppanyaki Hamburg Nihonbashi Keisuke Bettei  offers only 2 mains on their menu. The first is the Keisuke Prime Beef Hamburg Set ($18,80) which comprises of a hand formed prime US beef shoulder (150g). The set comes with an ebi furai (fried shrimp), strips of aburaage (fried beancurd) and tofu with bonito flakes. Diner has a choice of four different sauces to choice from. They are Keisuke original sweet and spicy sauce, demi-glace, oroshi ponzu and teriyaki. Out of the four, my favourite is the oroshi ponzu which goes better with the beef patty. The other sauces are too rich which sort of overpowered the flavour of the beef.

Triple Cheese Prime Beef Hamburg Set 4.5/5

I could not really figure out what other ingredients are used in the patty but the tender and moist patty is really very flavorful. Imagine this with a medley of 3 cheeses stuffing (cheddar, mozzarella and parmesan) in the Triple Cheese Prime Beef Hamburg ($20.80). This is oozing goodness with the molten core.

Note: This is an invited tasting.
