What Kind of Omu-Rice is this?

Omu-rice is "omelette rice". But the Japanese call it "omu-rice". So it is rice, usually stir-fried with ketchup and served inside an egg wrapping. That is the traditional type. And I love it.

And yesterday, I ordered a "Tarako Omu-Rice" while having dinner in Ma Maison at The Central. I had no idea what it is, but I decided to give it try anyways.



When I didn't see the demi-glace sauce, frankly, I was disappointed. Instead of the demi-glace sauce, it was a clear broth. When I took the first bite, I didn't quite like it. It tasted like the sea. The rice is not ketchup rice, but I can't tell what it is. Maybe some seafood broth or the likes. Then I noticed there was a red blob of dunno-what, as indicated by the arrow in the photo. It tasted savory and a bit like ume. And surprisingly, it tasted better when I mixed some of the reddish stuff with the omu-rice.

But this will be the first and the last time I am ordering this. In the meantime, the search for the delectable demi-glace sauce continues.



"Where is that demi-glace sauce?"
