New in town: Kichi Kichi Omurice's Chef Motokichi coming to SG next month
If you've seen Chef Motokichi Yukimura slicing open fluffy omelettes over fried rice online, you'll know why I'm so excited. From 10 Jul, Kichi Kichi Omurice's collab with Tsukimi Hamburg in Singapore will unveil 2 new menu items. Omurice, featuring a layer of omelette covering a bed of rice usually stir-fried with ketchup, is a common Japanese meal. Kichi Kichi Omurice's rendition of the dish features an omelette with a runny centre, flowing down the rice and topped with demi-glace sauce. To create the 2 special menu items, Tsukimi Hamburg's head chef travelled to Kyoto. The recipes are the result of a joint effort from both chefs, and you know I'll definitely be trying them out. Thankfully, the dishes are a permanent addition to Tsukimi Hamburg Singapore's menu! The first collaborative dish, the Kichi Kichi Omurice (S$12.80), features that signature omelette with a twist. Literally. Drawing upon the popular trend, a 'tornado' omelette covers the fried rice instead. The visuals are impeccable with thick demi-glace sauce running down the ridges of the omelette. If you're not familiar with demi-glace, think of it as ketchup's mature older brother. Jokes aside, demi-glace offers an umami-rich flavour through a combination of bone broth and aromatics that's reduced into a sauce. Next, we have the Kichi Kichi Hamburg Omurice (S$16.80). Above the fried rice peppered with edamame and chicken lies a meaty, juicy burger patty. It features the same 'tornado' omelette as the Kichi Kichi Omurice, though you might be too preoccupied with the giant hamburg steak to notice! If the food isn't exciting enough for you, why not try your luck for a meeting with Chef Motokichi himself? On 11 and 12 Jul, Chef Motokichi will be hosting a cooking showcase at Tsukimi Hamburg's Jurong Point outlet. With 40 pairs of tickets up for grabs, a single receipt with a minimum of S$20 spent at Nex or Jurong Point's &JOY Japanese Food Street will give you 1 chance. The lucky draw period only lasts from 3 to 30 Jun, so remember to save your receipts. And yes, the curated meal will be free! So what's holding you back? Take a trip down to &JOY Japanese Food Street during the lucky draw period, and save a date in your calendar to give the Tsukimi Hamburg X Kichi Kichi Omurice collab a try!
