Itadakimasu

A Hawker Centre Hidden Gem: Itadakimasu Craving something different, I found myself at Itadakimasu at Old Airport Road Hawker Centre after seeing its impressive 4.9-star rating on Google Reviews. The stall was packed, and the mouthwatering smell of grilled unagi instantly pulled me in. I ordered the Teriyaki Unagi Don, and for the perfect side, I went with a chawanmushi and a free miso soup with clams(love that combo deal!). The unagi? It was perfectly glazed, smoky, and tender, practically melting in my mouth. The rice was fluffy and light, making every bite a perfect balance. The chawanmushi was smooth and comforting, and the miso soup, with its rich umami and tender clams, was the ideal way to warm up on a rainy day. What really blew me away was learning that the boss used to be the head chef at an omakase restaurant. It makes sense the attention to detail and the quality of the ingredients definitely show. You can tell this isn’t just casual hawker food it’s crafted with the skill and passion of a top-tier chef. It’s easy to see why Itadakimasu has earned such high praise. The food was absolutely delicious, the vibe of the hawker centre added to the experience, and knowing the chef’s background made it all the more special. I’ll definitely be back for more!

Food was amazing, the seller was also very nice and gavefree top up for noodles. He puts in alot of effort to make the food look presentable and ensures that the food is of his best standard. The ingredients were also very fresh. 10/10 would recommend.

Well-cooked quality fish used in the rice bowl and finished off with golden powder like those in Japanese high-class restaurants or fine dining. The Ikura melts in your mouth for sure. For this kind of standard, you won’t believe it’s in a hawker centre. Try it and you won’t regret!

Amazed with the quality of the food like fine dining and Japanese restaurants style. Chef prepared each dish with the best ingredient & the freshness of the unagi, salmon and scallop is so good! Definitely patronized again. It is hard to find such authentic Japanese Cuisine in the hawker.

My second visit and I love the teriyaki chicken don! The chicken is so tender and juicy, the teriyaki sauce is flavourful, topped with ikura and gold spray. High quality with affordable price!
