Sumire Yakitori House was first introduced to me as the chicken specialist tbh, that sent

a shiver down my spine - was it a slaughterhouse? Apparently not as it is backed by a

rich history and firm footing in Japan itself where it already has over 50 outlets

located around the country. Yakitori items are the name of the game here, the

intimating stacked menu of grilled sticks throwing me off just a little. But I was here for

the new menu - featured wholesome dishes and lunch sets that gets customers more

bang for their buck.

We eased into the meal with the usual suspects, Aburi Salmon Mentai Mayo Roll

And then there were the yakitori sticks. Not just your usual ones but Sumire's yakitori

sticks bordered on fictitious, over-indulgent even. The Hinatoro ($4.90), who would

have thought that Chicken Shoulders were so gorgeously succulent, each tiny nugget

packing in the intensity of 3 chickens into a tiny morsel. Then there is the Foie Gras

Kushi ($6.90), I had my stick and proceeded to eyeball the second one sitting

innocently on a plate. Grilled with a caramelised exterior, the fatty liver is irresistible

despite the protesting diet.

 

Chipi Bacon ($5.90) combines all of my favourite things on a skewer. Japanese green

pepper stuffed with cheese and wrapped with bacon; the smoky char on the fats

complimenting that beautiful ooze. Another one bites the dust.

slow arduous cooking process, bubbling gently over a flame; cooking a stockpot of

ingredients gradually. Simply, unadulterated pleasures with minimal seasoning for

maximum enjoyment.

 

I would normally steer for more simple flavors, but if in the case of hot-heads, you'll

want to try the spicy Red soup that is prepared with original white soup boosted with

Sumire's homemade chilli paste. Add ramen noodles ($3.90) to make a more

wholesome meal or, do as I advise and get the Japanese rice and egg soup ($2.90),

stirred in at the very end to capture the essence of the broth in a delicious porridge like

concoction.

I would strongly recommend this chicken and egg dilemma of Tokusei Yakitori

Tamago Toji Gozen ($21.80) - highlighting the simple combination of egg and chicken,

the bubbling pot is flanked by a special rice bowl topped with egg tempura that

literally bursts when split open, pouring its salacious secrets over a bed of Japanese rice

with hidden gems of braised chicken folded through. This is one for the rainy day and

occasional treats for morale boosters.

Conclude your meal with the Homemade Tofu Cheese Pudding ($3.80) in a myriad of

different flavors. The original rendition stealing my heart with the depth of cultured

milk and the silky smoothness of egg custard. Those who prefer a spunkier mix should

opt for the yuzu version, the bittersweet yuzu confit nestled on top the silken mixture

accentuating the pleasant milky notes.

 

Note that Sumire Yakitori House is extending their lunch set promotion till the 31st

August 2016 where diners will get to enjoy 20% discount off all lunch-sets such as

the Tokusei Yakitori Tamago Toji Gozen and the Daisen Tori Nabe. Grab your homies

and make a trip down soon!
