Hototogisu x Hakata Mentai Yamaya in Singapore

Chicken Mentai Takana Don

Yamaya, a big mentaiko chain, recently opened an outlet in Singapore, but I haven't made my way out there yet. Fortunately, Hototogisu is doing a collaboration with them on donburi, which I went to go try today since I had favorable impressions of the shop in Japan. That set the wrong expectation though, as I envisioned those huge sacs of mentaiko on each table back there, whereas this was a comically small teaspoon-sized dab (yes, it's smaller than what's depicted on the menu's photo too). Granted, this was pretty low-priced, and I still ate it quickly, so I shouldn't complain. But I feel rather duped by how small that portion of mentaiko was.
