From 6-8 July, @kohakutendon has launched an exclusive tendon that is offered at just $10++ for the first 200 customers daily. Headed there around 11am (30 minutes before the opening time) and managed to be the 6th in line! ✌🏻. Thank goodness I did not queue for long as the wait wasn’t worthwhile after all. Paling in comparison to the Chinatown branch which I had visited twice, the batter here felt thicker and drier, though it still retained a crispy texture. Furthermore, the tempura battered ingredients were served just slightly warm, instead of hot as what I have experienced at the Chinatown branch. Perhaps the chef had prepared them in big batches to beat the crowd? 😏 . Opted for multigrain mixed rice and spicy tendon sauce which WAS NOT SPICY AT ALL. So lacking greatly in spice that I have to spam the side of chilli powder provided. Comprising of Anago (eel), King crabstick, Prawn, Sillaginoid (fish), Enoki mushroom, Baby Corn and French bean, the tendon is dusted with golden powder for a glittery, shiny appearance (which had no effect to the flavour afterall). My favourite element got to be the prawn that was fresh, plump and juicy. My longest anticipation for this tendon was actually the Anago, which is the biggest and longest element here. Unfortunately, my anticipation for it turned out to be a disappointment, with the eel being dry and lacking marination, requiring the constant need for me to add on the side of tendon sauce provided. Hopefully @kohakutendon can be more consistent with their standard across all branches as otherwise I might just strike it off from my #1 list of tendons👋🏻 .
