My photo
Photos help to capture our memories in remarkable ways, sparked by a dash of color or a visual feast. The memories come flooding back like a tidal wave. These are my memories of food - some of the very best. They make me laugh. Sometimes we forget what we have, because of what we want. These are my memories.

kuriya: dinner or lunch? shaw center or great world city?


Today's lunch was my second trip to Kuriya in a few days. With Soh Chin for dinner at Kuriya in Great World City, we ended up spending SGD170 for two persons. SC had chirashi sushi (SGD$42) and I had a sushi platter called "Fuji" (with Uni and Anago) priced at SGD$58. We order two additional dishes to share - assorted tempura and eel/cheese roll. It was good, don't get me wrong, but was it worth the price?

Today with Jeanette and David, we went to Kuriya in Shaw Center. Jeanette has a Wagyu beef set (SGD$35), David had the Lady's set lunch (SGD$28) and I had the Chirashi/Sashimi set lunc (SGD$42). We shared small dishes at SGD$3.50 (?) each - spinach with poached egg, grilled egg and fresh tohu with tuna. Total bill was just under SGD$150. It does not compute. Lunch was far better than dinner. Restaurants truly do not understand the importance of quality and consistency. Asian consumers are far too placid to notice or if noticed, to take action (e.g. vote with your feet). While I enjoyed Kuriya, they need to reconcile their prices for lunch and dinner, and between different outlets before I return again. So there. :)

Damn. I forgot to take a photo of my sushi/chirashi combo meal. I forgot last time to take a photo too. Old age!
