Tempura Ten Ten @ Raffles City

Tempura Ten Ten joins the stable of tendon restaurants available but their unique selling proposition is, they sell more than just tendon, infact, unagi don and even ramen. Talk about diversification.

Special Tendon ($13.80)




There are a number of customizations, original, spicy or type of rice. I was honestly tempted by truffle rice with a top up of a dollar but the companion mused "truffle oil".




I love how this tendon does not sport the same ingredients as the rest - it does get boring when all restaurants offer exactly the same dish without any differentiation.




Two prawns, pumpkin, meatball with cheese, long bean, mushroom, seaweed on a bed of rice made a decently filling meal for me. This probably suits ladies better and it comes with a side of cabbage and chilli padi as well as miso soup.




The batter is light yet it still ended up soggy less than mid-way and no complaints since the spicy sauce was tantalizing enough to ignore that.




Tempura Ten Ten is a decent tendon place and truly, another place to consider when I'm nursing a tendon craving next time!

Baba Steven's Private Dining: A ex-chef turned home cook

Image
Baba Steven or Chef Steven is endearingly known as has been whipping up peranakan feasts from his Bukit Batok Home since he retired. We booked a table of 8 for a $450 dinner comprising of 8 dishes. Baba Steven's chilli is a must try, fragrant and so tasty with just white rice. I clearly overdosed on this whilst waiting for the rest to arrive, just like soy sauce and rice, so simple yet my belly was full on happiness. The feasting kind of started before the mains were served - freshly baked pineapple tarts. These open faced babies come with a mildly sweet pineapple jam baked atop a really buttery pastry shell. Bakwan Kepiting Soup This is almost a Peranakan staple across the private dinners I have done and whilst this is homecooked, I found the meatballs rolled a tad too tightly. Soup is refillable but those balls are limited to two per diner. Ayam Buah Keluak is the classic peranakan dish at all peranakan meals and Baba Steven takes pride in deshelling each of these tough nu

Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) @ Old Airport Food Center

Image
Jin Hua is a household name for fish soup in CBD , very much so that I have joined the relentless queues during lunch just for a bowl of steaming hot goodness. Hurray to this franchise which also sports queues but more forgiving ones! Even way past 2 pm, the queues were neverending. Sliced Fish Soup ($5) Bland broth in comparison to Hougang Hai Zhen Yuan's, the sliced fish slices made it worse since they were barely seasoned too.   It may problems with a franchise but I still prefer their fried fish version over sliced. Given now I have found an alternative, I'd probably be switching camps.  Jin Hua Fish Head Bee Hoon (金华鱼头米粉) Old Airport Food Center #01-120
