Mr. Onigiri in Singapore

Otakotak Onigiri

Here's a small chain of Okinawan onigiri shops. But it's local, so they also have options for things like otah as a filling too, which is what I opted for today along with those tater tots (cue: Napoleon Dynamite).

I've never been to Okinawa, so it was only today that I realized that their onigiri are rectangular to accomodate the shape of the Spam, which is standard issue along with egg and soggy seaweed that helps form the sandwich. These guys then inserted the otah on top of that.

I have no idea how authentic their food is, but I ate this quickly, even if I wasn't particularly dazzled. Actually, it looks like they are now offering a Luke's Lobster collaboration, which sounds interesting.
