These giant salmon nigiri and belly slices are sold in Taiwan’s San Wei Shi Tang Restaurant — 三味食堂 in Chinese.

And the best part? You won’t have to burn multiple holes in your pocket just to enjoy an epic meal.

Giant salmon nigiri & belly less than S$5 each

We gather the reason why this restaurant has escaped the mainstream radar is because it’s a neighbourhood joint, located not too far away from the main shopping precinct Xi Men Ding.
