OMU, Japanese lava omu rice, has opened its first branch in Singapore at Suntec City. Very similar to Kyoto's Kichi Kichi omu rice, the restaurant offers various omu/lava omu rice with sides. OMU is not originated from Japan but from Thailand. In Bangkok, they have several branches like in Siam Center etc.
The lava omu is a $2 top-up from the usual standard omu rice. Would say its worth the top up as its fluffy on the inside. However, the texture is not as viscuous as Kichi Kichi Omu when cut open.
We had 2 mains and a salad.
1. Curry omu rice with chicken cutlet ($12.80) - crispy and juicy breaded chicken cutlet fried to the right taste and texture accompanied with hot and delicious tasting curry sauce omu rice. Really one of the better omu rice tasted. The rice is flavourful unlike others which could be served with plain rice. Rating: 4/5
2. Nagoya style red miso omu rice with pork cutlet ($14.90) - the pork cutlet was similarly juicy and crunchy. The rice is sauteed with chicken chunks and homemade sauce. The red miso sauce was a little sourish and it is much preferred over the curry. Rating: 4.1/5
3. Mushroom salad ($9.90) - generous portion of salad with sauteed garlic mushrooms. Ordinary in taste. Rating: 3.5/5
For omu rice lovers, OMU is definitely worth a try as it really serves the better omu as compared to others.
