Maguro Brothers @ 100 AM Mall - Grilled Whole Gigantic Maguro Head & Rare Parts Of Bluefin Tuna

If you are a fan of good quality maguro sashimi, look no further. The new Maguro Brothers at 100 AM Mall offers sashimi connoisseurs a wide range of offerings, including rare parts of the Bluefin Tuna that are difficult to get at affordable prices.

3 Cuts of Sashimi 5/5

A must-have at Maguro Brothers is the 3 Cuts of Sashimi that consists of the Otoro (fatty tuna belly), Akami (meaty red tuna) and Chutoro (back and stomach). You will be guaranteed quality as Misaki Megumi Suisan, responsible for the concept, is a wholesaler of maguro and sashimi in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. The Maguro is skinkei-jime using a Japanese tradition of inserting a spike into the hindbrain and destroying the spinal cord to preserve the quality and freshness. It stops lactic acid production and thus maintains the fish's quality. It is then kept in a minus-60 degree freezer to maintain its freshness.

Special Cuts of Maguro 4.2/5

You can also get rare parts of the maguro here. We have the following special cuts of maguro, starting with the Toumi (head toro sashimi). The texture is like otoro with a firmer texture. It is best to consume quickly as it may melt relatively fast due to its high-fat content. The other three cuts are Behind the Eye, Dorsal (above the chutoro) and Cheek of the maguro. These cuts are deeper in colour that has a texture reminiscent of beef. Prices start from $62 for a platter of 12 slices featuring seven special cuts of maguro.

Maguro Ribs Saikyo Yaki 4.8/5

Other than sashimi, the restaurant also offers a range of cooked dishes. One of our favourite items was the Maguro Ribs Saikyo Yaki ($29.80), painstakingly prepared for four days. The tender and succulent ribs, sweetened by Saikyo miso, packed an umami punch that left you wanting more.

Maguro Hohoniku Nanban Style 4/5

The Maguro Hohoniku Nanban Style ($16.80) boasts a western influence with tartar sauce and marinated onions to enjoy the crispiness of the deep-fried maguro cheek.

The Grilled Hon Maguro Head ($188) requires a day advance reservation. The gigantic bluefin maguro can serve 4 to 6 pax. Interestingly, chopped red chilli with ponzu sauce is served to go with the exotic meat around the maguro's head.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Maddie's Kitchen @ Far East Plaza - Wallet Friendly Zi Char Dishes At Orchard Road

If you think that having a meal at Orchard Road will be very expensive, you are wrong. They are food outlets that sell affordable priced food in that area too. Maddie's Kitchen is probably known to many locals, hidden and located in the far corner on level two of Far East Plaza.

Pork Chop Set 3.8/5

I tried the Pork Chop Set Curry Rice ($6.80). For the price, it is value for money. The messy plate of rice comes with deep-fried pork chop, stewed cabbage and a fried egg, drenched in a pool of curry sauce. Though the curry sauce is not spicy, it is packed with aroma. It is the soul that holds everything together. As for the other ingredients on the plate, the pork chop was a bit hard but generous in serving, while the cabbage was sweet and soft. 

Beef Tenderloin Hor Fun 4.2/5

The highlight for me is the Beef Tenderloin Hor Fun ($13.80). First to hit me is the breadth of the wok, piled with a generous serving of bittergourd, black beans and tender beef slices. The noodle dish is common in many zichar places but what makes it different here is the quality of beef used. Slightly seared, thickly cut and tender.

Overall, Maddie's Kitchen offers delicious yet wallet-friendly zichar dishes at Orchard Road. Though I only tried two dishes out of the eclectic menu, it already won me over with its delicious food. I will definitely drop by again for my meal if I am at Orchard Road.
