didn't know where to have lunch at bugis so tried out this new place at level 4 of the iluma. tsubohachi is part of a cluster of japanese restaurants at ebisboshi shotengai.tsubohachi hails from sapporo, hokkaido and is one of the largest izakaya [japanese bar] chain in japan. an izakaya is a place where the working class gathers for drinks and snacks after work.
that explains the rather extensive alcoholic drinks selection. however, we were more interested with the set lunch menu. estee had the ikura set while my mum and i had the sashimi set. i think the sashimi lunch set is quite reasonable at $14. of course the usual service and gst charges apply.
the kitchen doesn't seem to have gotten its act together just yet. our sashimi sets took such a long time to be served that estee had almost finished her food when they arrived. and you thought they only need to slice the sashimi, right?
what reinforced my impression further was they forgot to include a saucer for my sashimi set. how to eat the sashimi without a dipping dish for the shoyu, right?
and to think that this happened at a restaurant with a japanese manager and server!
tsk, tsk, tsk...
