Daiwa Sushi 大和寿司@Tokyo ★★★

Freshest "Sushi Breakfast" at Tsukiji Market at 7:00am. We arrived the restaurant at 6:00am, and we were seated at 7:00am. Set menu is 3,500 yen ($30 USD) per person for 7 pieces of nigiri sushi and 1 roll. We ordered a few more add-ons in the end, which ended up to be 5,500 yen ($45 USD) per person. 1-hour-wait is definitely worth it. The quality is very close to Sushi Dai next door, but I still like Sushi Dai a bit more (which was 1.5-hour-wait at 6:00am).

Chinatown Crab Master@Singapore ★★★

Best Crab Ever at Singapore Chinatown. My first time trying Salted Egg Custard Crab. It's made from live crab - super fresh and flavorful. The Steamed Scallops were not as fresh though. The beauty about eating at the stalls in Chinatown is that it's like eating in a food court - you can get food from different stalls and eat them altogether. We got Shaved Ice and Tiger Beer from another stall.
