\"ToriQ\"<\/a>Countless numbers of shopping centres fill Orchard Road and, from observing all the various construction, is a trend that will probably continue for some time. Amongst all the huge number of stores, food stops along the way offer the shopper a brief reprise to their endless frenzy. <\/p>\n

I stumbled across one small food stop I thought worth blogging about, a small store called ToriQ. ToriQ is a store specialising in Japanese Yakitori, a semi-equivalent to the Malaysia Satay stick. One employee is always busy grilling away little hunks of meat and sometimes assorted vegetables skewered onto little sticks that provide a very portable and relatively healthy snack. <\/p>\n

ToriQ is not very large with the insides only big enough for the all the employees grilling and serving and a few stools encouraging very brief stays. A big glass panel separates the customers from the grilling section but the entire cooking process is very visible, at least guaranteeing a certain level of quality. <\/p>\n

\"Yaki<\/a>The menu is not overly complex – you order various types of skewers with the option of the better value “packs” providing rice and a drink as well. Most of the grilled skewers are dunked into a warm sauce (my guess is teriyaki) and then put into the various bags or packages. The cheapest sticks are the chicken sticks at only S$0.90 each and the most expensive being the Unagi (eel) ones at S$2.00. <\/p>\n

Details: <\/strong>ToriQ
\nFound On: <\/strong>I think it was at the bottom floor of Tang’s Shopping Complex on Orchard Road
\nHighlights: <\/strong>Freshly grilled meat and vegetables provide a healthier alternative to all the stalls serving fried variations. Pretty good value for money as well.
\nImprovements: <\/strong>More seating for patrons.
\nThe Kua Rating: <\/strong>6.5 out of 10<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
