Their tempura sauce is definitely a secret recipe I wish to master.

Almost as if I've teleported to Japan, the 24-seater outlet boasts an all-around Japanese vibe, the ones you find in back street Tokyo. I was lucky to be assigned to one of the counter-top seats, where customers can watch each & every action in front of a seemingly very open kitchen.
.
Not all the staff are pure Japanese, but they sure seemed very well-trained in their own set of duties - from dipping tempura into exceptionally-seasoned batter, skilfully frying each tempura with care & precise timings (with their timer), to stacking up each of the tempura in the porcelain bowl to look exactly like the ones they've displayed in the menu. Also realised that they've 7 Japanese conventional rice cookers (not those commercial kinds you find in typical restaurants), which they've to consistently time & prepare each batches of those high grade short-grain Japanese rice.
.
Not compromising on quality in any bit, I find this to be one of the most value-for-money set meals one can find. Set also comes along with steamed egg (super good chanwamushi), miso soup, & complimentary pickles on every table.

P.S. Sure is a long-winded caption, but this is totally an independent review & I'm raving like it's nobody's business. I'd make my visits anytime any day! Have yet to try the competitor at Suntec, but the one at Bugis just anywhere near it (will review soon).
