In the many closures and relocation of the merry-go-round of restaurants, I'm glad that sake bar Orihara Shoten is still around. They have been at this Unity Street address for 15 years, and at end May, they'll move across to 25 Mhd Sultan Road.
Dunno if they'll still welcome dogs. I believe they would. If so, that would be great. I really hope that they'll survive the 'curse' of the F&B businesses at the shophouses on that stretch.
Took the dog for an evening walk and at 6.10pm, I decided to have an early dinner at Orihara. Of course I started with a highball. Dog didn't mind sitting down with me and watch the other dogs get their walk, and check out the world coming home or coming out to dinner.
Orihara still ties up with Shirokane Tori-Tama next door for bigger food items. I forgot to ask if they're moving together. I assumed so. Anyway, I'll ask them next week. This is a joint that serves up easy comfort food. I don't actually spend that much here, but I come in frequently for meals. Heh.
I do love the braised chicken skin here. I don't want it seasoned weird. Just salt or soy will do. This iteration is done with soy and shredded ginger. You'll have to like the taste of ginger. I don't mind a little bit. However tonight, there was a ton of shredded ginger. Walao. I spent quite some time picking it out.
I could never resist the rice here. There's something about rice and chicken skin and grilled chicken hearts. Just ignore the nutritional value okay. It's ZILCH. To get some values up, I would usually have the cold tomato slices with salt (and don't bother much with the salt), grilled shiitake and gingko nuts. I was too full for a tofu salad tonight.
