Lunch at The Newly Opened Ninja Cut At Seah Street Is A Must

The folks at The Astronauts Group who opened Ninja Bowl at Duxton Hill in April this year has just opened another outlet in Seah Street in October. If you read our review of Ninja Bowl, we absolutely loved it there. Ninja Cut offers casual dining set in slate grey interiors, with marble counter and industrial-chic design with ten main items and all day brunch items comprising hearty proteins with an option of bases, similar to the concept at Ninja Bowl.

Enter Ninja Cut. Order and pay at the counter. Find a seat and wait for your order to be served. All prices here are nett and there is no service charge.

The prices indicated below are for the main dishes. Add on the bases such as Ninja Rice, a blend of vinegared Japanese pearl rice, brown rice with seaweed flakes, buckwheat Soba noodles or Garden Greens for a top up of S$2. Quinoa is also available at a premium of S$3.

 

 

Highlights at Ninja Cut

The baked Norwegian cod fish is marinated with saikyo shiromiso, a type of white miso paste from Kyoto known for its sweeter notes and mild savoury flavour and sake marinade. Oh My Cod is also served with edamame, honey glazed carrots, asparagus and pickled beetroot.

 

Sous-vide chicken breast is prepared with Cajun spice rub. The Gimme Chimi Chicken is topped with a house-made chimichurri sauce consisting Italian parsley, coriander, chilli flakes, honey and balsamic vinegar. Sides include corn kernel, sunflower seeds, balsamic tomatoes and brussels sprouts.

 

How can anyone resist grilled surume ika? The Squid Fix is served with sautéed mushrooms, miso cucumbers, honey-glazed carrots and furikake. Squeeze some lime over the dish for a zesty flavour.

 

Only 30 servings of What’s Your Beef are available each day. 150 grammes of Australian ribeye is marinated with thyme, salt and pepper and slow cooked to medium rare doneness. The sides include grilled corn seasoned with furikake, sautéed mushrooms, honey glazed carrots, a wobbly onsen egg and golden garlic chips. The golden garlic chips are spectacular. Personally, I think they are better than potato chips anytime.

 

The Polenta Mash is Ninja Cut’s take on the hearty Southern-Creole breakfast of pork and grits. The homemade aburi chashu roulade is served with warm truffle polenta mash, sautéed mushrooms and generous servings of Parmesan cheese shavings. I think you would love this dish!

 

The brioche sandwich contains oozy grilled cheddar cheeses. But that’s not the only highlight of The Cheeky Cheese. Beef cheek is seasoned with red wine and braised for a full day in Ninja Cut’s own Japanese curry. Eat both the brioche and cheek together. I will come back for more!

 

Marvellous Matcha is not only delicious, it is simply beautiful to photograph! The matcha ‘hotcake’ is filled with green tea fondant and then baked to a crisp at 200 degrees celsius. It is topped with a dollop of ricotta cheese and adorned with beautiful edible flowers. The hotcake rests on speculoos crumble, yuzu peel, and homemade chewy dango. Order this dish early as it takes 15 to 20 minutes to create to order. It is a perfect way to end the meal here at Ninja Cut.
