Hoshigaoka Japanese Restaurant

I suppose this isnt the first time I'm blogging about this Japanese Restaurant. 

Here's a little history about Restaurant Hoshigaoka. 

This restaurant was first opened in Singapore at Apollo Hotel back in 1972 and was initially named as Hoshigaoka Saryo which was brought from Japan with their traditional Japanese cooking together with their culinary tastes, sumptuous dishes as well as trademark of Japanese Hospitality. In order to appeal to the broader market, Hoshigaoka Saryo was being renamed as Restaurant Hoshigaoka in 1986.

 

Restaurant Hoshigaoka was a family Japanese restaurant which was since brought over by JP Pepperdine, the owner of Jack's Place, Eatzi Gourmet and Brewbaker’s kitchen & bar. 

Now, Restaurant Hoshigaoka has 3 outlets in Singapore, located at Isetan Scotts (#4-00), Eastpoint Mall (#03-14) as well as Woodlands Civic Centre (#02-05)

Whenever, the boyfriend and I ran out of ideas what to have for dinner / lunch, we will always head down for their lunch as it was just 10mins away from the boyfriend's place. With their affordable price, they are still able to come up with such good food, I really think its worth going back over and over again. 

Even thou the sushi in this restaurant might cost a bomb, but this sushi are not the reason why i choose to head down for lunch / dinner. Also, with the stiff competition with Sakae Sushi just at level 1, I was telling boyfriend that this might close down. But not quite true after i've tried Sakae Sushi over at the outlet at Civics. 

Okay, this time round, they boyfriend ordered his usual dish - Beef Shabu Shabu. 

They comes with chicken too! (In case you are not a beef lover). But no joke, their beef was really fresh and tender. But of cuz, this would also depends on how you cook them in this mini hot pot! (:

They always comes with huge mushrooms which I totally love.

The broth of this Shabu Shabu is slightly salty and less sweet as compare to Sukiyaki! So for those who love eating Sukiyaki, you shld really give this a try! (:

 

Check out the beef! Okay, Sorry for the filter that I've done! 

But the redness of the meat would somehow show that the beef is fresh, not quite sure if this is true thou, but someone told me this before.

This is the sauce that comes together with the boyfriend's dish! (:

Called the salty sauce! LOL!

 

Next up would be mine! (:

This time round, I intended to try something different.
Because whenever I head there for meals, I couldnt decide what I want to order for myself LOL!

So this time I've tried their Katsu Don. 

I was never a fan of porky!

But this is really good! 

It doesnt comes with that porky smell, and when they fry the eggs tgt with the onions! 

Slurp! Makes me hungry for food again! =D 

The meat was tender, and the onions could do the job to give u more flavouring. (:

Would definitely head down to try more of their dishes and do a more detailed post up! LOL!

But overall, the atmosphere and also the food is really worth the visit! (:

Do give it a try, and you might soon fall in love with them (:
