Aburi-EN (Tanjong Pagar Centre), Singapore

Tucked away in a cosy corner of Basement 2 (same level as MRT station) of  Tanjong Pagar Centre aka Guoco Land Tower is the cosy Japanese restaurant Aburi-EN.

No ordinary Japanese restaurant, Aburi-EN specializes in aburi or partially grilled meats.  Aburi-EN’s core offering is a variety of high quality donburi (rice bowls) built around their delicious grilled meats.  The blockbuster items on their menu are Japan’s No.1 champion beef, Miyazaki Wagyu, and chestnut-fed pork.  All these at affordable prices in a comfortable and affable ambience.

At Aburi-EN, you can also enjoy Japanese drinking culture with an extensive selection of Japanese cocktails, highballs, shochu and sake that complements the array of grilled meats.

Wagyu Karubi Don S$19

Aburi-EN lives up to its marketing claim of serving Japan’s No. 1 Champion beef for 5 consecutive years.  It really was the most tender beef I have tried.

All lunch mains come with a delicious and generous bowl of Miso soup (complete with kelp, clams! and tofu) as well as pickles.  This offer is only valid from 11 to 5pm.  After 5pm,  all items come only in the a la carte version.

Buta Don S$12

This is a down-to-earth, wholesome and filling bowl.
