The latest contender to the Tendon scene, Tenjin might easily be one of my favourite. The space is cozy, spacious with attentive service, plus you can finish your meal without smelling like a walking tempura😛

There are 3 types of tendon to choose from - Yasai ($12.80, assorted vegetables), Special ($14.80, prawn, egg and assorted vegetables) and my favourite would be the Premium Toku-Jo ($22.80, Anago, fish, crab leg, prawn, egg and assorted vegetables). Choice of spicy/ normal tare(sauce). Every set comes with miso soup and a very refreshing kyabetsu salad (sesame sauce’s served on the side so add as you like!).

Each ingredient was lightly battered, not too greasy; the sauces were well-balanced and not overly generous so it doesn’t overpower the rest of the bowl. And most importantly, the batter remained crispy for a long time even after a bit of a photography session frenzy. I loved how the vegetables remained juicy and moist, very delicate and crisp shiso leaf and the flavourful free range egg. No flowy egg porn but oozy enough!

Thank you @tenjinsg for having us, Agnes for your kind hospitality and #burpple for extending the invite!😋
