LIVE EELS AND HOW TO EAT JAPANESE UNAGI
Man Man Unagi Restaurant in Keong Saik Road is one of the new entrants in this year's Bib Gourmand list, a section in the Michelin Guide that showcases eateries offering quality food for not more than $45 a person.
The restaurant specialises in grilled eel, which is dipped into a housemade sauce before it is served. (See story on C16 and 17.)
Chef-owner Teppei Yamashita, 36, demonstrates four ways to eat unagi.
Eat the eel and rice as it is, the way it is served; top it with freshly grated wasabi; as a porridge with dashi; and as a porridge with wasabi, chopped spring onions and shredded roasted seaweed.
