Tenshin

Tenshin is a high end Japanese outlet known for its tempura. Taste wise the tempura is better than normal with a lighter batter and less greasy bite. However the prices are insanely expensive. A dinner cost many hundred dollars per person for not super a lot of food. They also don't have a very wide menu. The prawn tempura was one of the better dishes being fresh and fried well, not overcooked. Sashimi was fresh too!…Read More

Ten shin is a Japanese restaurant specializing in tempura. This means their menu is limited to mostly tempura items. The batter here is very very light, and the tempura is not greasy at all. Overall pretty good tempura, however the price is exorbitant! A simply dinner consisting a few pieces of tempura rice and some sashimi and fruit came up to almost five hundred dollars a person!…Read More

- The ShopA very small modern Japanese restaurant that receive top accolades from the international culinary community. They have less than 10 tables and a long counter where you can dine and watch the chef at work.- The FoodWe ordered Mini Kaiseki set @ S$85Experiment your tempura with chilli salt, sea salt, matcha salt, and curry salt. The sea salt is the highly recommended for tempura yet I love the chilli salt.AppetizerSome seaweed and vegetable served cold. Pretty tasty.SashimiSliced sashimi was fresh and sweet. It has a rich taste with flavor, taste so good that I want more!SaladThe tangy Japanese sauce sets off the vegetables and crisp renkon chips (deep fried lotus roots) perfectly.Mixed Tempura - 3 SeafoodA perfectly light but crispy fried coating. They are the best tempura I ever tried in Singapore! Heard the deep-frying technique comes from Japan, each Japanese master chef has his or her own secret formula of flour, seasonal ingredients and oil. This tempura is even tastier with the chilli or sea salt.Mixed Tempura - 3 VeggieThe juicy veggie tempura will be a waste to dip in the radish and tempura sauce. I like the crispy coasting, it still taste awesome by its own thou it's highly recommended to sprinkle a little salt to enhance the flavour. I prefer the chilli salt, the matcha salt is slightly bland and the curry salt don't really go well.Scattered Tempura RiceHot rice with generous chunks of chopped tempura prawn topped with a dash of sea salt and generous sesame seeds. Sprinkling some chilli powder and its so good! oh, there was the pickles too, but I had it in my tummy too fast, oops.Yuzu sorbetRefreshingly citrusy sorbet.- My OpinionTop quality food, dishes well executed, even the service was beyond satisfactory. I will definitely be back some day for a special occasion with my family!I only had my iPhone with me, do forgive the poor quality of the pictures, but I can't help to post this because their food are really too good not to be share!…Read More

Tenshin (天信), a tiny upscale Japanese restaurant @ Regent Hotel, has already gained a following of Tai-tais & elite businessmen. The sister of the "infamous" Shiraishi, presents the glories of Japan with its Signature Tempura with “indecent pricing”, if you must try. For lunch, I’d the ミニ会席 (Mini Kaiseki). Do not be deceived by the word “mini”, for this set lunch is @ an exorbitant price of S$85 per person! What I ate...... Sashimi made up of Toro, Tuna, Salmon & Scallop. The fresh seafood was real yummy though I wouldn't say the Toro was the best.Next came the salad, accompanied thinly-sliced crispy Lotus. A unqiue combi indeed.Then the Chef started making the batter for Tempura. The prawn was deep-fried to perfection. Batter was light & fluffy & tasted delicious when mixed with the radish given. Love the prawn head. Yum-yum! Just 1 complaint - I only get a miserable piece of prawn. The Lotus & Asparagus Tempura were superbly executed. Dish was simple but delicious.As I ain't a fish lover, I rarely finish a plate of fish. But in this case, I gobbled up the entire Meguchi (Flat Headfish) within seconds.Maitake (マイタケ) is an edible & medicinal mushroom & is considered the first-rank edible mushroom. This fungus is crunchy & "spongy" at the same time. I didn't have quite enough though.Their rice sang a different tune. It has chunks of Prawn Tempura bits & sesame seeds. It's flavourful & it was a joy eating it. …Read More
