MY RATING:
(3 out of 5)
AMBIENCE
A charming uniquely designed interior which was inspired by street scenes of the Old Quarter of Hanoi. I was mesmerised with the Steel telegraph poles with the iconic Hanoi loudspeakers. They have an amazing 7 meter tall wall, backed with hand-made circular tiles chisel with dragon & phoenix from a pottery village in Vietnam. It looks quite stylish and elegant. A refreshing break from the hectic lifestyle.
SERVICE
The service staff is swift in their ordering and serving the dishes. They are also very meticulous in alerting us that we should not touch the bowl of the wagyu beef don as it is very hot.
FOOD
UNI IKURA BOWL S$58
Hokkaido Sea Urchin, Flavoured Sushi Rice The Sashimi is very fresh and quite generous. I am an UNI lover! The layers of UNI is so awesome! The burst of flavors in the mouth! Awww NOM NOM! We had it on Friday Set Lunch at S$38.80++. What a steal!
WAGYU BEEF DON S$32
Onsen Egg, Shio konbu White Truffle Oil, Yakiniku Sauce Love the aroma from the Truffle Oil. The thin tender wagyu beef slices is very flavourful too. Be careful of their bowl. It is pretty hot. The onsen egg was perfect!
FREE FLOW SALAD
All mains include free flow salad. They had served 4 four types of salad (Macaroni Salad, Bamboo Shoot with Wasabi Dressing, Couscous Salad and Mix Mesclun Salad) on the bar counter. The salads are flavourful and crunchy fresh.
~CONCLUSION~
MARU (TANJONG PAGAR)~ A contemporary fusion restaurant hidden in Icon Village. It offers innovative appealing dishes. It is also less than 10 minutes walk from Tanjong Pagar Mrt (East-West Line). They are great for casual after-work drinks and group gatherings. The office warriors will love this to have a break from the hectic work. A charming uniquely designed interior which was inspired by street scenes of the Old Quarter of Hanoi. We especially enjoy the UNI IKURA BOWL and WAGYU BEEF DON.
We ordered the 1 Lunch Special and 1 Main. Both comes with free-flow salad.
