I’m doing great! Very busy lately but it feels…
Itacho Sushi (板长寿司) is currently holding a Premium Hokkaido Scallop Festival with up to 30 per cent off their range of innovative scallop items. As a seafood lover, I can’t afford to miss this chance to savour the shellfishes. Heading to the branch at ION Orchard on a weekday morning to beat the peak lunch time crowd.
Flipping through the online menu via the tablet, I quickly zoomed in to the Scallop Sushi promotion page and started sending the items to the cart. Took a slightly longer time to decide which are the dishes I wanted as they all look equally delectable. In the meantime, scooped out a small spoonful of wasabi and poured soy sauce over it.
Didn’t have to wait for long before the first plate of sushi was served. From the left are two each of Roasted Salmon Skin Soya Sauce (S$1++ each) and Roasted Salmon Skin Soya Sauce with Cod Fish Caviar Mayo (S$1.20++ each) sushi. The salmon sushi were melt in the mouth soft and so yummy. If not because the restaurant limits each customer to just two pieces per type, I would have order it over and over again.
The three scallop sushi on the right side of the plate are Roasted Scallop Sushi (S$3.50++), Roasted Scallop with Black Truffle Sushi (S$3.90++) and Roasted Scallop with Cod Fish Caviar Sushi (S$3.70++). All three of the scallop items were so fresh and sweet tasting just like those I had in Hokkaido. The toppings on the two of the sushi enhanced the overall flavours to raise it up a notch.
The next plate I ordered is the 3 Kinds Scallop Sushi Set (S$5.80++). The scallops are un-torched and came with different toppings of tobiko mayo (seasoned flying fish roe), black truffle (paste form) and lobster salad with avocado. Again the raw scallops were just so yummy and the toppings complemented the whole package.
The last dish to be served is this Baked Scallop Spicy Salmon Mayo Egg with Rice (S$8.40++). A beautiful dish topped with six scallops, an egg and baked till golden brown. The creamy and spicy salmon mayonnaise completely covered the white rice underneath. The oozing egg yolk added a wholesome goodness to the rice dish. Even as I walked to the cashier to pay the bill, I am already planning on the next trip to try out the other dishes on the menu.
Mayo is such a white american answer but I gotta justify myself cause it's just a good solid creamy base to make a million sauces and dressings myself, you know? It's my kitchen's Every Girl. She's Barbie, she can be anything. She's playing dress up.
as someone who hates ketchup, mayo is my everything. I eat it with any form of potato, on sandwiches, etc etc. don't come in here dissing how white American it is. if there is one time i'm willing to stand for the flag it's when the stars are mayonnaise bottles.

First up, from the appetizers section are these Sweet Egg Omelettes (Tamago Yaki). Ordered the plain version and the one with mentaiko sauce. Between the two, the one with the cod roe mayonnaise is the better eat as the torched surface gave a smoky flavour while the salty roe and creamy mayo lend to the overall taste. The Century Egg Tofu (Pidan Tofu) came in individual serving cup. Plain silky tofu topped with a blend of century egg yolk and seasoned flying fish roe in mayonnaise and more pidan (皮蛋). Every spoon of it in the mouth is such a delightful flavour bomb.
The red Marinated Baby Octopus (Chuka Iidako) aren't necessary a bad eat, just that I don’t like the gel-like marinate coating it. This dish also frequently found its way into the cold appetizer platter in Chinese wedding dinners.
