Una Una @ Suntec City (Eat at Seven)

Chose this place because Wendy likes unagi. For me, I'd like to try new places and the draw of Una Una, is its reasonable pricing and availability without overly long queues.

The restaurant is located within the inner section of the Eat At Seven area. Reservation is encouraged if you'd like a place after 630pm on a weekend.

Ordered two appetisers; Unagi Omelette and Sashimi Salad. For drinks, we had Sapporo Beer (bottled). It was value for $$ at $10++ for 2 bottles. Can't say the same for Unagi Omelette though.

'Sapporo Buddy' @$10++ (2 bottles)

Unagi Omelette @$9.80++

However, the Sashimi salad made us happy again. Was pleasantly surprised by the thick-cut sashimi and the generous portions on the salad for that price. The colour of the tuna slices was rather dull but taste wise was alright.

Sashimi Salad @$10.80++

salad dressing (goma sauce)

Next item, was the Grilled Hokkaido Squid. It was such a huge squid! Portion was good for sharing amongst at least 3 people.

Grilled Squid @$14.80++

The squid has a very mild smokey aroma and of light seasoning with natural flavours. Texture was chewy tender with a gentle bite to it. Good with drinks. The mayo and ginger paste served, provided extra oomph for those seeking a change of flavours every now and then.

table-ful

On hindsight, should have just ordered the full unagi Hitsumabushi (double portion). But we had the Kaisen Hitsumabushi instead. No point having more chopped sashimi on this bowl when there is sashimi salad.

Kaisen Hitsumabushi @$18.80++

lovely grilled unagi

Loved the flavours on the grilled unagi which leaned towards the sweeter side of things. The texture was not too soft and neither was it too dry. Would gladly have more of the flavourful unagi but alas, there wasn't any ala-carte option for it.

For the eating style, I liked it as it is (without the soup). Or place a portion of the rice, the chopped seafood and a piece of the unagi (mash up the unagi to release more of the flavours), a dab of wasabi and with a bit of the dashi.

Expect to spend about $35 per pax for a meal with drinks.

[Tasting] Summer Menu @ Unagiya Ichinoji Dining

Was invited to Unagiya Ichinoji Dining to try their newly launched Summer Menu.  Unagiya Ichinoji Dining is located at Suntec City Mall's Eat At Seven restaurants cluster at Level 3.

For starters, we had the chilled appetiser of Maguro Tartar with Yuzu Jelly and the other was the Salmon Tartar Ichinoji Style. The yuzu flavour was dominant in the maguro tartar. There was no other seasoning for the maguro except for yuzu shoyu and dashi stock.

I personally preferred the Salmon Tartar where it consists of chopped salmon, mayonnaise, deep fried Chinese wanton skin, capers, chopped avocado, sea salt, and extra virgin olive oil.

Maguro Tartar with Yuzu Jelly @$7.80++

Salmon Tartar Ichinoji Style @$7.80++

The main dishes are Ichinoji Cold Somen and the Ichinoji Summer Ocean Mixed Box. Both sets came with unagi chawanmushi.

Ichinoji Cold Somen (top) and  Ichinoji Summer Ocean Mixed Box (bottom)

Let's start with a refreshing bowl of Ichinoji Cold Somen. The chilled dashi stock was light and flavourful. Yummy when slurped together with those thin strands of well cooked noodles. Slices of smoked duck, Hokkaido crab claw, shredded omelette and Unagiya Ichinoji's signature charcoal grilled unagi.

The portion of the noodles were pretty generous for one pax and this set is also paired with a mini don. A mini bowl of rice, topped with slices of air-flown salmon sashimi, crab meat and some tobiko. Simply pour in some shoyu onto the rice and then mix well. Be careful of the dollop of wasabi in there though!

Ichinoji Cold Somen @$29.80++

yummy signature charcoal grilled unagi

If you are not a noodles person and you can't get enough of those delicious unagi, then perhaps the Ichinoji Summer Ocean Mixed Box would be your preferred choice. The lacquered box is laden with shredded tamago, Hokkaido Snow Crab Claw, charcoal grilled unagi and scallops, and a few slices of maguro sashimi. Lovely.

Ichinoji Summer Ocean Mixed Box @$36.80++

Thank you Kris for the invite and Unagiya Ichinoji Dining for the food!
