Enjoyed a chill evening with friends at Tempura Oji π Of all the sides, I thoroughly enjoyed the Renkon Age (lotus root with truffle oil) and Tori Karaage which were thankfully not too oily.
If you're looking for something heavier, definitely recommend the Tempura Udon which used the thin Inaniwa Udon, and was served with tiger prawn and other vegetable tempura π
For drinks, you can find your usual selection of Japanese gin and whisky! π€
We came here just to try this dessert! However, we were disappointed as the taste of pistachio was really faint, and we thought that the tiramisu contained a little too much cream. Would have been even better if there was a bit of alcohol in the dessert! π Nonetheless, the ambience is still a reason to dine at Italian Osteria!
The pastas somehow fared better than the pizzas here .
Amazing garlicky , spicy , tomato-ey.
Al dente pasta .
One of the best arrabiata I have had .
Service was also really really good π.

π¬ The soup was so delicious! Shoyu broth is already somewhat light and flavorful but with the added truffle, it is a musical symphony in your mouth. The soba texture and consistency felt like ramen but I did not manage to verify with the staff. It was cooked perfectly al dente. The pork had little fats, might be a pork collar so it had some chew to it. The truffle shoyu broth was the carry. This sits highly on top as one of my favourites!

π¬ One of my favourite tsukemen around! The noodles were chewy with a nice bite to them and always cooked perfectly. They know you would love the noodles so the noodles automatically comes in a x1.5 portion. The broth is made with dried sardines and bonito which jam-packs it with umami-ness and a robust flavour! I'm already salivating just by writing this!
(Unfortunately I can't upload two photos into a single post here, but no worries the photo of the dipping broth is on Instagram, go check it out!)

π¬: Had the mala soup which looked super harmless but sure packs a punch!
Recommend ordering this too if you are there for your first time because it comes with a variety of toppings so you get to try it all

π¬ I did not feel like having chashu that day so the seafood bowl caught my eye. Since it was priced relatively cheap, the seafood were understandably not fresh but most likely frozen. However they completely made up for it by being very generous with the toppings. I had plenty of asari and prawns left after finishing my noodles. The prawns had a nice crunch to them, similar to those you would find in chinese dimsum. The broth came in a light tonkotsu soup base; so if you are looking for something rich, this is not it. The noodles were not very springy but not too bad nonetheless.
