The Flying Squirrel

Located in a narrow alley off Amoy Street, the Flying Squirrel might not be the easiest to locate if you stroll down the bustling street. In fact, my friend walked right past the alley and reached Amoy Food Centre before realising that she was lost and had to turn back. With all the other restaurants and cafes jostling for attention along the main Amoy Street, you might think that the Flying Squirrel would be a dead town inside. But you would be wrong.

The Flying Squirrel was packed when I entered on a Friday night. It's a small place and there were people seated all around. Dimly lit and with a distinctive bar vibe, the Flying Squirrel is popular for their makis and sashimi.

I intended to order their Salmon Ikura Don but alas, it was sold out. At 730 pm. On a Friday night. Shows you how good business gets at this little joint. So I went for their Unagi Don ($29).

Very generous portions. Just look at that thick slab of nicely grilled unagi sitting on a small mound of rice. While it may not be as yummy as the unagi at Man Man or Uya, this was definitely still good. 

Ambience at the Flying Squirrel was nice and cozy. Feels like eating in a bar. As it is a small place, good idea to make a reservation if you are intending to have dinner here!
