HIDDEN JAPANESE GEM IN PARKWAY PARADE

I've said this a million times, I loooove Japanese food. Lucky for me, my boyfriend shares the same liking. We could eat Japanese food everyday and you won't hear us complain.

One of our go-to's is Fish Mart Sakuraya. I first learned of this place on my first year in Singapore when my boss and some colleagues and I went to Parkway Parade to buy Christmas dinner goodies. Good thing too because I wouldn't have thought that you could actually dine inside. I mean, would you? It looks like an ordinary Japanese grocery store when you pass it from the outside.

The storefront. SEE! You wouldn't have given it a second glance (if you don't cook)!

But if you go further inside, you see this: Fresh Catch Dining. YUM!

What does this actually mean? Well, for starters, you get to choose your raw food and how much of it. It's priced per gram so you get to see the portions and gauge for yourself how much you want. You grab a packet and give it to the counter for them to slice up and serve. I find that this makes sashimi cheaper than if you order from restaurants.

The chiller filled with salmon, tuna, hamachi, sea urchin, scallops, crabs, squids, shrimps, everything!

If sashimi isn't your thing, don't worry, they also serve cooked food and yes, they make rolls too. It's a casual japanese dining experience that doesn't scrimp on quality. It's no frills but you know it's high standard. I'll let the photos (collected over time) do the talking, but please don't scroll if you're hungry!
