KOH grill and Sushi Bar @ Wisma Atria
To be continued on Saturday after wasting 30 mins at Cafe Fest, Bf and I decided to train down to Bugis to catch a movie. And YES, we watched step up 4!! Lucky Bf has Safra card, we were entitled to a 1 for 1 movie tickets so a pair of movie tickets cost us $11. But it served in first come first serve basis, the first 1000 Safra member will receive such good benefits. I wouldn't say that its the best step up films compared to the rest, would preferably goes with less talking and more dancing scenes but the ending was good enough to prevent me from falling asleep ( Probably will if I watch action films).
Movie ended at 4.30pm and we were so ready to meet up another couple for our dinner date. Bf and I simply walked from Bugis to Marina Bay Sand to look for them as they were hanging around Cafe Fest. Had a romantic walk with Bf over the Helix bridge ( I was hoping the skies to get darker! It would be definitely more romantic than usual).
Wei min was telling me how disappointed she was as most of the cafes are preparing to close the shops. 85% of the food were sold out too when they reached! She only got a slice of rainbow cake and ice-cream sandwiches throughout the whole tour.
Since dessert doesn't make us full, we proceed on to town for our dinner and also the couple wants to buy mooncakes for their families.Dinner was at Koh Grill & Sushi Bar and as usual, it always has a long queue of people waiting to savour for their Shiok Maki. Why? Because they serve the best cheesy mentai maki ever! I'm not even kidding, these are legendary. Koh Grill & Sushi Bar have appeared in papers and magazines several times now. You gotta try to find out what all that rave is about.
The menu is simple and covers all the usual Japanese food suspects like sushi, sashimi, udon, makis and more. Despite the extensive menu, little focus is taken away from their star attraction, the legendary Shiok Maki.
Bf trying to advertise his apple soda and it taste like beer please. My tummy literally felt bloated after drinking a few sips.
Shiok Maki ($16.80)– a sushi roll consisting of lightly roasted salmon, avocado, mayo, charcoal-grilled unagi that is finally topped with a generous serving of tobiko. For those of you not convinced to brave the wait for a seat and still in search of valid reason to return, you can look forward to the 2nd Gen Shiok Maki, which holds the promise of deep-fried prawns and mango sauce. With either Shiok Makis spotted on every other table (and their Instagram location geotag), I’m pretty confident that it would be game over for Koh Grill if they decided to do away with them.
Shiok Maki 2nd Generation ($16.80) - Crispy prawn sushi roll wrapped with aburi salmon is better that the original 1st generation, in my opinion. Or maybe because I prefer prawn to eel.
Despite of the famous SHIOK MAKI that we ordered, we also had Teriyaki Chicken sushi roll and Bf has to order his Pork set meal because he needs to eat rice to regain his energy!
The only little grouse I have about Koh Grill and Sushi Bar is the order in which food was served. However, due to the large number of people ordering the Shiok Maki, the sushi counter was moving slower than the cooked food counter. Thus all our food arrived except the both main dishes. Other than that, it was perfectly good having dinner with the couple.
More couple date again! (:
