SHIN KUSHIYA @ VIVO


Lunner (lunch + dinner) after a morning-afternoon of fun at sentosa cove. Well, for those who wanted to know more about sentosa cove, it's basically the same stuff as wild wild wet, just that it's more thrilling. However it just means that the queue is atleast trice as long. And the thing that you can't miss at adventure cove is their man made snorkeling. However as someone that had tried real Snorkeling before, i have to say that it's not the same. In the wild the fishes will swim towards you, but in adventure cove the swim away from you. So yeah, Now Back to my LUNNER!

Well since vivo city is the nearest mall with reasonable price than dining at sentosa, me and my friend decided to head over there. The first restaurant that caught our eye was Shin Kushiya it has a nice elegant decor door front and peaceful interior. We were place by the window seat viewing towards sentosa, all i could say is the ambiance is great.

Well we ordered the Tori Shogayaki Don ($13.80) and the Buta Don ($14.80). The meat on both dishes was tender, flavourful and damn right tasty. Accompanying our "Don's" are Green Tea @ $1.50/ea


We decided to order some skewers to go with our don's as they seem to be the specialty of shin kushiya.
Start from the left,  Chizu Maki ($3.20), Salmon Maki Tare ($3.60), Tori Sasami Mentai ($2.80), Tori Sasami Chizu ($2.80). The Chizu maki is pork, stuffed with melted cheese in the middle, you couldn't believe how food orgasmic is that. It's bound to be my new favorite dish. The Salmon Maki Tare is salmon (duh!) dipped with sweet sauce and barbecued to perfection, i'm normally not a salmon eater but this. wow, and it's just the beginning.Tori Sasami Mentai are diced chicken barbecued and topped up with fishroe sauce (made out of fish roe and mayonnaise), and lastly the Sasami Chizu diced chicken barbecued and topped up with cheese. Ahh, best skewers i've eaten. i could go on and on more about them and i'm feeling so hungry right now blogging about them.


Lastly to end our perfect Lunner, we had Umeshu Tiramisu ($7.80) for dessert. It's Tiramisu with Umeshu, what more can i say? The Tiramisu is smooth throughout with slight hint of umeshu and the fruits are of course crisp and fresh. This tiramisu is even better than those that are from specialty dessert restaurants. oh my, what a great day.

Overall if you had read what i say about the skewers and dessert, you'll predict whats my verdict. Its the place to come for japanese barbecue skewers.
Price Range, $30/person (With Skewers)(total cost of my meal, $61.65 (After Service Charge and GST)
Ambiance, 8.5/10 (Thanks to it's woody interior and glass panel that shows sentosa)
Taste, 9/10 (The highest rating i've ever given)
Crowd, Need not book in advance.(Except for Weekends)

Maybe it's just me. Well, you'll just have to try it yourself.
