Sushi Samba Singapore

We opted for the crispy taquitos with pork belly, which reminds of Kong ba (扣肉）. The caramelised sugar gives it a good burnt sweet taste. I expected something bigger for its price though.

Next came the crispy octopus. Our impression was deep fried but the staff informed it would be boiled then pan fried. Presentation wise, it was like how most upmarket restaurant would do. It looked good on the coloured plate with the chimichurri garnishing. Upon biting, you would feel the crispiness more, so it had to do with the miso kabocha purée. It was not bad but I am not a big fan of octopus, and too much for 2 ladies.

The 3rd dish was Samba Singapore, which was Maine lobster avocado with honey truffle sushi roll. If my friend was not here, I would not have ordered this. I am not a fan of lobster and truffle. I envisioned lobster chunk! I’m a California roll girl haha. But it is silly to order such here. Surprisingly, it was good, the sauce combination, with chopped lobster meat. My friend could not smell or taste the truffle much but I could. I’m sensitive to smell. Nevertheless, it was acceptable to me as I smelt the honey first😆

Half the menu was not available and I took the Dancing Passion.

Passable to me but IG worthy. 

It came in a transparent glass sake holder where there is a separate compartment for the ice to keep the infusion cold yet not dilute the drink.

Being a Brazilian Japanese restaurant, the drinks are extensive. We skipped the alcohol. Under the non-alcoholic list, it has the tall glass and sake glass formats. 

My friend had genmaicha and it was not bad.
