Oiishii Corner Review: Halal Japanese Hawker Stall At Toa Payoh With Beef Don And Teriyaki Chicken Ramen Under $6

Situated at Toa Payoh, halal-certified Oiishii Corner serves a myriad of comforting Japanese fare at wallet-friendly quotations. The jovial husband and wife pair threw open its doors this hawker stall with the intention of letting more Muslims enjoy Japanese food.

All their recipes are tweaked to fit the mould of halal Japanese food, and do not contain any alcohol or pork. Food at Oiishii Corner A few of Oiishii Corner’s menu items have a playful local twist to them, such as their popular Oiishii Beef Don ($5.50) . Sweet and spicy beef in a Japanese rice bowl is totally new for me.

Each beef slice in addition possessed a certain smoky wok hei savour, and my dining companion and I were pleasantly surprised at the stall’s rendition of a beef don. Coated in the sweet and spicy chilli, the rich and starchy Japanese rice gave the beef a savoury touch, and added a new dimension of savour to this dish.

I’m a big fan of Japanese curry, and I had to try the Chicken Katsu Curry Don ($5) . I was pleasantly surprised to find a generous amount of fried chicken pieces that were neatly placed atop a bed of Japanese rice.

The chicken pieces were moist and tender, and I was met with a pleasant crunch with each bite. Though not as sweet as the other Japanese curries I have tasted before, it was richer and full-bodied. My dining companion in addition commented that this Japanese curry was on the red side, which was different from the usual brown-looking ones at Japanese restaurants.

Finally, we opted for the Teriyaki Chicken Ramen ($6) to see how it’ll fare against the more pricey ramen dishes from famous chains. The bowl was filled to the brim with ramen, big chunks of teriyaki chicken, and vegetables.

You can choose from a few broths, such as kimchi and miso, and I made a mental note to try the others during my next visit. “Huge” is the word to describe each piece of teriyaki chicken. I was glad that the chicken pieces did not taste soggy even though it was immersed in the broth for some time.

A ramen dish has to come with a Hanjuku egg, and I was pleasantly surprised at how the latter was executed. The verdict Oiishii Corner’s halal Japanese fare is tasty and comforting, Though their dishes would not fit into the mould of traditional Japanese cuisine, they’re a solid rendition of it considering its quotation. With generous portions and affordable quotations, Oiishii Corner is definitely worth a visit. 18 Japanese Food Delivery Places With Delivery Fees Of $5 And Below For Ramen, Sushi And More Japanese food lovers have to check out these 18 Japanese food delivery places with delivery fees under $5 .
