Discover the best food and drink pairings at DON DON DONKI's newest location in Bukit Panjang Plaza. From spicy mala salmon don to build-your-own pasta and refreshing yuzu sours, this Japanese megastore offers endless culinary possibilities.
DON DON DONKI , Singapore's beloved Japanese megastore, has opened its newest location at Bukit Panjang Plaza , delighting shoppers with endless aisles of Japanese treats. From sushi and snacks to drinks and fresh produce, the store offers a treasure trove of culinary delights. To celebrate the launch, we embarked on a mission to uncover the best food and drink pairings available at DON DON DONKI .
After consulting with local enthusiasts and indulging in our own taste tests, we've curated a list of our top five combinations, featuring some surprising and delectable discoveries.For spice aficionados, the mala salmon don is an absolute must-try. This fiery rice bowl combines succulent salmon sashimi with a tantalizingly spicy mala seasoning that ignites your taste buds. To tame the heat, we recommend pairing it with a zesty lemon sour. This refreshing carbonated alcoholic beverage acts as the perfect palate cleanser between bites, creating an exhilarating and addictive duo. Pro tip: add a dash of the ever-popular extra crispy garlic chili oil from the condiment section for an added layer of texture and complexity.Another standout combination is the build-your-own pasta at Senraku Pasta House, a brand-new yoshoku-inspired spot exclusive to Bukit Panjang Plaza. Take control of your culinary creation with unique sauces and an array of toppings, allowing for a personalized Japanese twist on this classic dish. We opted for spaghetti with tsuyu cream mentaiko sauce, topped with shrimp and chicken katsu for an umami-packed experience. To complement this symphony of flavors, we paired it with a chilled oolong tea from the drinks aisle. The earthy, slightly bitter notes of the tea beautifully balanced the creamy richness of the pasta, creating a harmonious culinary journey.Japanese oden, a beloved comfort food, consists of a medley of fish cakes simmered in a light dashi broth. While traditionally enjoyed with its classic broth, we decided to experiment by adding DON DON DONKI's tomato collagen nabe. Don't miss this limited-time offer - DON DON DONKI's house brand collagen soups are available for $18 for two during Bukit Panjang Plaza's opening special! The result is a hearty, nutritious, and surprisingly luxurious fusion. The richness of the tomato base adds depth to the dish while the collagen infuses it with an indulgent, silky texture.Gyoza lovers will rejoice at DON DON DONKI's ready-to-cook options, known for their crispy bottoms and juicy fillings. To elevate this classic snack, we paired it with a seasonal yuzu sour. The citrusy, slightly tangy notes of the yuzu sour cut through the richness of the gyoza, enhancing the flavor and creating a lighter, more refreshing experience. This pairing is perfect for those seeking a snackable yet satisfying treat. Don't miss out on this seasonal gem – we stumbled upon this yuzu sour during a trip to Japan last October and haven't seen it since! Hurry to Bukit Panjang Plaza's DON DON DONKI to stock up for Lunar New Year.For a truly memorable sushi experience, pair it with hot, crispy karaage. To elevate this combination to new heights, introduce apple tea sour (a collaboration between Suntory and Lipton!) into the mix. The refreshing sweetness of the apple beer perfectly balances the richness of the karaage. For a more traditional accompaniment, DON DON DONKI's extensive sake selection offers a range of options from dry to fruity. Our pick? A smooth, slightly sweet sake that enhances the umami of the sushi while complementing the crispy karaage.These are just a few of the many delectable pairings discovered at DON DON DONKI's new Bukit Panjang Plaza outlet. From mochi desserts paired with matcha lattes to sashimi platters enjoyed alongside sparkling sake, the possibilities are endless. With their constant introduction of new products and seasonal specials, there's always something exciting to explore. DON DON DONKI is more than just a shopping destination; it's a playground for food enthusiasts. Whether you're indulging in classic Japanese favorites or experimenting with unexpected combinations, there's something to tantalize every palate. Gather your friends, explore the aisles, and don't be afraid to get creative! You might just stumble upon your next favorite culinary pairing.
