Tok-queuing for Tempura
Finally we're at the door...but then when we got in, there was more waiting inside but this time at least there were benches :)
I was told a good Tempura is one that leaves little oil stain on the paper, so here's my before shot for comparison.
They give the usual Tempura dipping sauce, but the salts, especially the Wasabi salt was really good even though I am not a fan of Wasabi. LR and myself couldn't figure out the black purplish one.
Prawn, fish and my anti-histamines!
Cuttlefish with the most amazing texture, it is like sinking your teeth into scallops!
Wild mushrooms.
Abalone!

We would incur the wrath of the very strict Japanese manager and there would be no smile on our faces. When can we eat?
Appetiser was raw fermented squid, very yummy and I had 2 portions because LR doesn't eat squid. Yay!
Tofu with strong taste of soy and the smooth mushroom clear sauce complemented so well with the slightly grainy texture of the tofu.
A warm side dish that is very similar to chicken dumplings, however this time, the sauce was a little too starchy for me.
Pork Shabu Shabu
Bubbling and boiling...
In the midst of enjoying my pork shabu shabu, the gleaming grilled fish seasoned with miso gave variety to dinner.
Then came a tempura calamari with wasabi salt. WOW, love the texture contrast to the dinner.
