Probably the first time planning a birthday surprise for a guy and it can be quite nerve-wrecking. Prepared a Braun Buffel as a birthday present as well as a set of cake comprising of different slices with alcohol contents from the talented Cat & Fiddle. I love how they mix different flavours together as a set so it saves me the trouble of purchasing the wrong flavours. Personally, I also like to get practical items rather than things that the other party won't use it that often and I took a long and difficult time to choose what to buy too. He did mention to me a few days back about this place selling unagi so I thought it would be perfect to bring him here on his birthday instead. This place is located at Clarke Quay and is called Unagi Ichinoji. We spent quite a while queuing outside and mosquito sucking on my blood before we can actually go in. While peeking through the window, I could see that there is insects in their tank that contains the live eel which was actually quite a turn off for me. Inside the restaurant was rather crampy too and there wasn't even a space for me to put the gift and cake down. Lucky for us, the staff is friendly and helpful to the extent that they even put our cake in the fridge for us! Apparently this restaurant is famous for their unagi and perhaps it might be partly due to my high expectations, I thought that it was be comparable to Man Man restaurant but to be honest, I would say it's not even half of their standards. The food is still acceptable overall but in terms of paying around the same price for the same ingredients then I would say I rather go for Man Man. The unagi meat was rather average and not as flavourful as compared to Man Man while the noodles on the bottom was sort of a weird combination. Unagiya Ichinoji
