#55: miso

this is one of the numerous branches of the Masuya group restaurant chain, which seems to be attempting to cater for all tastes and budget requirements in Japanese dining.

Miso is a cute and colourful place conveniently located in World Square which caters for casual dining. We saw quite a few people dining solo, grabbing a quick bite on the way home. We ordered the chicken teriyaki and tempura udon. The tempura came served on top of the udon, and was completely soggy, which I detest. I don’t entirely understand why some places will serve the tempura on the size so it stays crispy, and some wont. But perhaps, some people like it soggy ;) Apart from that the udon itself was okay. My friend wasn’t a huge fan of her teriyaki either, because the chicken itself was dry and lacking the sweet caramelised flavour of teriyaki. The extras were good though – it came with a salad, miso soup, several small side dishes and a small omelette.

Overall, it was passable but I wouldn’t rush to go back.

They also do takeaway bentos. I’ve only tried the salmon bento ($14.5) which I thought was quite average in terms of quality, but a generous size.
