Yay! Julie has been organizing all these outings (so that I dun have to keep sms-ing people and coordinating times) and she also looks out for yummy places to eat at! So I'm spared all the researching on hungrygowhere :P (btw this place is also recommended by ice :D)I was super hungry by the time dinner started (late) and decided that since I've dragged myself all the way down to China Square (which I would never go to on a normal day especially since the parking before 5pm is frigging $2 for half an hour), I decided to go for the best (biggest) set. The chirashi bento set ($30++ for dinner, they have another menu for lunch) is the biggest bento box I've ever eaten, especially since the chirashi part is piled high and nearly spilling over. On the list of things to eat (apart from the many pieces of sashimi), is tempura prawn, fish and eggplant, 2 different types of croquetts (I think one is potato and the other is fish), grilled saba (i think), some snail, potato salad, some mushy Japanese things which I can't identify, some more potato salad, teriyaki chicken, chawanmushi, watermelon and miso soup. Of course, I was stuffed to the point of exploding after finishing (nearly) everything :D It's really very big and I think that 2 people can actually eat this.I actually wanted to order the Ladies' Set cos there's califonia roll as well as sashimi, but then for the $4 difference, I thought that I'd better make my trip down worth it and eat the set that everyone is raving about. This is Julie's sashimi set($25) which is incomparable to my chirashi set. She was very sad and envious of my chirashi bento. This is the 'im-very-full' flyfairy's chicken soup with rice cake. We were wondering what rice cake was, so she happily showed us how 'big' it was. I pinched a bit of her soup - it tastes very healthy.

Cel's tamago sushi ($5++)-apparently, the skill of a Japanese chef is judged by his skill for making tamago. But I don't really see how this translates to making good sushi or good anything else. I mean, you'll just be a tamgo specialist if you keep making the same egg thing.

Overall, it's real good value for money, though it's extremely inaccessible (unless you're willing to pay a hefty sum for carpark and ERP). It's pretty hard to find (since I haven't been there before) and it's much easier if you ask people where Harry's Bar is. It's also fairly near the 7-11 store from the road.
The best time to go here (by car) is in the evening, when the carpark fare isn't so crazily high. It's $3 per entry after 6pm (or is it after 5?). It's pretty much a ghost town in the evening since all the office workers aren't there.
