Hearth Irori & Oden Izakaya in Tanjong Pagar

Here's a slightly upscale izakaya that centers around a charcoal irori grilling technique (41 Craig Road). I grabbed a gindara lunch set today and liked it, although the highlight for me wasn't the fish itself, but instead everything else that it came with. That meant that tray of cold dishes above, which featured everything from watercress (yay!) and creamy tofu but also a tender piece of fatty pork. It was also cool that the gindara's daikon garnish was coarsely chopped rather than grated. I'd like to go back for dinner, but it doesn't look cheap.
