It seems like the onigiri trend is here to stay for a while longer. With that, there’s a new kid in town for Upper Thomson residents to check out: Mr Onigiri, a takeaway kiosk that offers a good selection of onigiri from just $3.90.
The newly opened kiosk is located along the main stretch of shophouses, which is within a six-minute walk from Upper Thomson MRT Station.
Simply order at the window where you’ll find the menu in full display. Each onigiri is prepared and hand-assembled to order, so you’re getting them the freshest possible.
The Otakotak Onigiri ($6.90)Â is a unique take on the classic onigiri, as you get a generous chunk of spicy and savoury otah paired with tamagoyaki, spam, and mentaiko sauce.
Then there’s also the Signature Melty Cheesy Crispy Chicken ($5.90), featuring a deep-fried chicken patty with creamy tartar sauce and melty cheese for a party in the mouth.
Those who prefer sticking to the classics can opt for the Spam with Onigiri ($3.90), which is the cheapest item on the menu. This Okinawan favourite comes with pan-fried spam, tamagoyaki, and tartar sauce, sandwiched by Japanese rice and seaweed.
Nothing on the menu is above $7 and prices are nett—even more reason to pop by for your onigiri fix.
At the moment, there are no seats at this takeaway-only kiosk, except for a small bench directly outside.
