Tucked beside the escalator of the top level of Square 2,
one might not have high expectations of the quality of the food served at the
Hokkaido Fish Market. However, our visits to Hokkaido Fish Market have
(thankfully) proven us wrong.
We ordered the Saba Set ($11.80 nett) and the Unagi Set
($13.80 nett).
The presentation of the Saba Set (Saba fish, rice, miso soup
and green tea, $11.80 nett) was simply stunning – with the slight sizzling on
the surface of the skin of the Saba fish, which made the dining experience a
slightly unique and exciting one. The Saba fish was cooked to perfection (not
overcooked or dry, unlike most served in Singapore). My only complaint for the
Saba fish would be that it cried out for a touch of seasoning/acidity (the thin
lemon wedge was too small for the entire fish. Those with a smaller appetite or
who would like to try some sashimi, should consider the Lunch Bento Set instead
(1/2 Saba fish, sashimi rice, miso soup and green tea, $10.80 nett).
Saba Fish - 3.5/5 Tummies
Unagi Set ($13.80 nett) – The Unagi set consists of unagi,
sashimi, rice, miso soup and green tea. The unagi was nicely cut, bones soft,
served with an absolutely beautiful sauce which complemented the Unagi
perfectly. It was not too salty per bane of many Unagi dishes, yet sufficiently
flavoured and tasty enough for you to savour every bite of the precious Unagi.

The sashimi, served on a beautiful bed of ice, was skilfully
cut and had a delightful texture to it. While it wasn’t the best sashimi we’ve
had, it was definitely above average and surpassed our expectations.

Overall, we enjoyed the affordability of the meal (taking
into consideration the quality and freshness of the fish). A value-for-money
lunch, especially for fish/seafood lovers. Re-visit? Definitely!
