We were quite lucky at Tenjin’s second outlet, which is located in Raffles City, where there was no queue despite the limited seats due to social distancing measures. It was just a short wait before we were ushered to our table.

Note that each diner has to order a set meal individually. I had the special set also known as Jo, which is the typical standard tendon bowl that you will come across, consisting of prawns, vegetables, crisp Shiso leaf and an egg. The egg used here is a freedom range co. egg by the way. There are also more superior choices such as the premium set which has additional anago, fish and crab leg, or the prawn set which has 5 prawns as compared to Jo. I especially enjoyed the deep fried lotus root tempura as it retained the original crunchiness of the root even after frying. There’s also pumpkin, eggplant, mushroom and 2 prawns, all fried in a light tempura batter. You could also choose between spicy or regular tare. I had the regular tare which I felt was slightly saltier than sweet. It’s consistency also seemed more watery than those that I have come across. Each set is served with miso soup and kyabetsu salad, which you can drizzle the amount of sesame sauce over of your preference, since they generously provide a bottle on each table.
