Shiny Fish at 'Izakaya Kizuna'


Had to keep the floofs calm and away from the major fireworks on the 9th as well as tonight when the fireworks go off in the five heartland locations. Went up to Potong Pasir to escape the booms at the Parade venue in town. Headed out to Kizuna for dinner on the 9th.  

The izakaya was up and running. Tonight's menu offered had shiny fish! There was an easy appetiser of marinated gizzard shad (コハダの酢〆), and a main as grilled silver beltfish (太刀鱼). Noms. These aren't served in big portions. Bite-sized, I'd call it. Just nice for our stomachs.

I also needed something more substantial. Since I ordered the goya chanpuru (ゴーヤチャンプルー / bittergourd, bits of pork belly, egg and tofu), and pork jowl, I went for broke and had a bowl of steamed Japanese white rice sprinkled with furikake. Teeheehheeh. These go so well together.

The man also couldn't resist the garlic fried rice. He had loads of it with the fish, corn, eggplant and pickled cucumbers. He also ordered a second serving of marinated kohada. The izakaya's rice cooker ran out of rice by 9pm. LOL Loads of highballs accompanied the meal. Ahh...dinner was absolutely satisfying. 'Izakaya Kizuna' is always a good way for us to spend an easy happy night.
