Tenjin is the latest concept by the Les Amis group, and joins the ever popular tendon scene in Singapore. The moment i stepped into the restaurant, i was wowed by the beautiful interior. Tenjin definitely makes for a very instagrammable dining spot!

Featured here is the Premium Toku-Jo, consisting of anago, crab leg, prawn, fish, egg and assorted vegetables. I like how each of the items were lightly battered and not too oily, retaining its crispiness even after the time we spent to take our photos. My favourite items were the anago, crab leg and egg! Each set also comes with miso soup and kyabetsu salad. Another important thing i wanna mention is that the ventilation here is superb, so you will not walk out smelling like fried food after your meal.

Thanks Burpple for inviting and Tenjin for hosting us.

Another don to add to my 'collection' !

#tip #solodiner - Go for the set lunch. I got a counter seat so I can sit in front of the fresh fish and watch the chef at work. The service was good, staff was friendly. #noawkwardness #othersolodinerspresent

From this quiet cafe that serves up freshly-baked bread with specialty coffee brewed with soy milk. Prrhaps one of the most eye-catching item they have on display from the description, the Matcha Croissant comes with a flavourful matcha cream with bitter undertones from the tea; works well with the flaky and light croissant that encases it. Pretty delightful.

From Mo&Jo Sourdough Burgers, a new concept by the same folks behind Baker & Cook and Plank Sourdough Pizza at Greenwood Avenue.

This burger comes with beef patty, smoked bacon, caramalised onion, house mayo and house BBQ sauce — patrons can opt between sourdough, Soy & Linseed or gluten-free bun options. Went for the sourdough option; a classic combination of condiments that provides for a safe option on the menu here. The beef patty is well-crusted whilst done with a pinkish centre; comes flavourful without being particularly gamey whilst being juicy and tender while the crisp bacon adds a saltish, smoky flavour to the burger. The sweet caramalised onions helps to cut out all that meatiness, together with the crunch of the lettuce and refreshing burst of flavours from the tomato beneath; all that in between two light and fluffy sourdough buns which went well without being particularly dense nor heavy. Thought the burgers here were a slightly lighter option despite the larger portions; not as much as a sinful treat that we were expecting out of a burger, but still pretty delicious overall.

Finally tasted the egg tarts from Tai Cheong bakery @ $1.90! Egg tarts served were hot and was plated on a beautiful glass plate!
.
Thickness of the crust was just nice! Crispy and a hint of savoury-ness after biting off the crust! Easy to bite off and it gave off a scent of fragrant! Egg filling was jelly-liked soft and sweet! Filling was alot!
.
In terms of display and taste or being pocket friendly, have already satisfied my food liking and me. In terms of transport, its a walkable distance from Holland Villiage MRT! Super convinent and accessible!
.
Since, its such an all rounder bakery! Cheap, affordable and good! Do check it out! Love my experience!

Part of lunch menu.

Udon came with a choice of hot/cold.

This placed truly changed my perception of udon being thick, fat and chewy. Inaniwa Udon is one of the top 3 udon that differentiates itself from the Kansai version with its thin and refined texture. It even has a glossy sheen to it! Was told that this noodle was served to royalty in the past and it is laborious to prepare (takes 4 days)!

For the cold udon, there are two types of tare (dipping sauces), shoyu and sesame. I only tried the former and it was so tasty especially after a lot a lot of grated wasabi added! Noodle texture was surprisingly springy, chewy and smooth! Every mouthful was refreshing after dipping into the shoyu and kept me wanting more!

Kra Pow is found along Orchard Road. No. 1 popular Drunkard Noodle Pork did not disappoint. Squid Tentacles Fritters is a right snack companion. Mango Sticky Rice literally took me back to Thailand (my favorite). Tender Sliced Pork to fill the spot, and Red Ruby with smooth shaved ice in coconut milk to finish. For someone who hasn't been to Thailand for years, I'm a very happy camper!

Price: $19.50. Authentic fish and chips from Smiths. The fish was fresh and did not have a single tinge of fishy smell. Unlike the fish and chips from some places where the fish itself would be mushy (and disgusting), the fish here is firm (but not hard). The batter was also crisp, not too thick, and wasn't oily at all! Really, it is actually quite hard to find decent fish and chips in Singapore these days.

The chips were also well made. Unlike most stall, especially chain stalls like MFM where the fries are factory made and usually quite horrible, the chips here are quite evidently home-made from potatoes they buy from the market. The chips were well made and they gave a really large portion too!

If you prefer melt-in-the-mouth type of fish, I would recommend the cod; if you prefer the type that's firmer in texture, then I'll recommend the haddock.
