Our kidneys are still in shock. How did JooJoo, a full-service kushiyaki eatery, get away with being tangential and offensive at the same time?
The space of this Japanese grilled skewered-foods restaurant looks pleasant enough. It’s set up in a simple, white-walled ground-floor shophouse unit that’s been divided into three sections – sister establishments Awfully Chocolate and Mooshi Bakes serve as the restaurant’s neighbours. Diners at JooJoo can place orders with any of the siblings through the servers. Unfortunately, not all siblings are made equal: during our visit, the pastry kitchen held its own. The hot kitchen, however, was haemorrhaging salt.
