[MOVED] 46 Mittsu @ Everton Park, Outram Park – HDB Joint Serving Thicc Sandos and Good Vibes

Update 19 Jan 2025: 46 Mittsu has moved to North Canal Road and re-branded to Go Rogue

I have a love-hate relationship with sandos. On one hand, they’re crazy delicious and stuffed to the brim with flavourful ingredients. On the other hand, I’ve never had a sando eating experience that did not end in a handful of ingredients spilling from two slices of bread gallantly holding it all together. 

And yet, like after every messy break in between a tumultuous, yet addictive relationship, I find myself going back for more. Today’s trip against better judgement is to 46 Mittsu, a sando kiosk tucked away in Everton Park

Tokyo Soba @ Icon Village, Tanjong Pagar – Authentic, Hole-In-The-Wall Soba Shop in CBD

A known rule of thumb when determining if a food place, especially Japanese, serves genuinely authentic food is to check if its clientele is comprised mainly of Singaporeans or expat families.

Tokyo Soba, which operates out of Icon Village in Tanjong Pagar, is supposedly an offshoot of Yomoda Soba, which is itself a noodle stand in Japan. The hole-in-the-wall eatery caters to office dwellers on weekdays, and Japanese families and groups of friends on weekends.

When in Tokyo: Bistro Fukumimi Corridor @ Ginza, Chuo City – Bustling and Modern Izakaya Open Till 11.30pm

I was determined to eat as many different local dishes as possible, and yakitori seemed like the best way to conclude my Tokyo trip.

It was by pure chance that I found myself back at Bistro Fukumimi Corridor, the very same yakitori bar that my colleagues and I had visited during our last work trip.

As with most other dining places situated in touristy Ginza, Bistro Fukumimi Corridor is foreigner-friendly, with items listed in both English and Japanese.
