Flaming Don ?? is the latest dining concept by Creative Eateries to introduce at Bugis Plus. Located at 5th floor of the shopping mall, this small restaurant offers 15 different kinds of rice bowl to choose from, with a small variety of ramen choices and some sides.
As the name goes, the restaurant should be good for their dons, thus all 6 of us ordered their dons to try. Ordering is self service at the ordering machine. For additional $2.90, one can enjoy free flow of drinks and miso soup. Here's the list of dons that we tried:
1. Japanese pork hamburger don ($12.90) - grilled pork patty with soft runny eggs and honey black pepper sauce. The hamburg patty was overly cooked and very tough. Eggs were not silky and runny. In fact rather dry. Overall, this dish was a disappointment as compared to the picture. Upsize not recommended as they can only add more rice. Rating: 3/5
2. Karaage don ($12.90) - crispy fried chicken with yakitori sauce and mentaiko mayo. The chicken tasted very much like popcorn chicken and the mayo provided didn't taste like mentaiko but normal mayo. Rating: 3.2/5
3. Chicken curry don ($9.90) - guess this was the nicest dish of all. Japanese chicken with carrots and onions. A dish that will not go too wrong. Rating: 3.5/5
4. Chicken combo don ($12.90) - midwing joints, sumibiyaki chicken thigh, yakitori chicken skewer and onsen egg. The chicken is tough and overly cooked. There was too little sauce, and don tasted too dry. For $4.90, we paid for extra shaker salad that was fresh but nothing special. Rating: 3/5
5. Flaming chicken ramen ($12.90) - charcoal grilled chicken with ramen in butter broth. Broth was thick and garlicky and this dish offered the most tender meat as compared to the rest. Rating: 3.5/5
Prices are subjected to gst but no service charge. Overall, we were rather disappointed with the don quality as we expected something closer to the menu pictures.
