Japanese cuisine is absolute comfort food at its best. With a fluffy egg omelette covering a bed of savoury ketchup flavoured chicken fried centre, the omurice is a beloved staple in Japanese cooking and a dish that I am very much infatuated with.

Processed With Vsco With Hb1 Preset

While this was no way comparable to those served in restaurants, I would say it was nevertheless, utterly delicious.

The dish was overall quite enjoyable, with light and fluffy-soft eggs and tender chicken chunks. The omelette was firmer in texture as compared to the lava-styled ones, though. While the tomato paste may seem like an insignificant addition just to fill the plate, it added depth and flavour to the dish with its vibrant red colour and savoury sweet taste.

The onions helped to elevate the flavour of the dish, balancing out the sweetness of the ketchup with plenty of umami. The best part—the flavours were light on the palate and it didn’t wear my appetite down after a few spoonfuls.
