Tenya

Was at City Hall to run an errand and went for lunch at the newly renovated food court. Some of the stalls have changed, as normally I would just order the Ban Mian soup.

Today I tried this Japanese stall, Tenya, selling everything tempura. It is the first tempura bar in a Singapore food court. I ordered their Set 2 rice set, as I was sort of craving for sticky rice. The set comes with a bowl of rice and 8 pieces of tempura - mushroom, scallop!, prawn, pumpkin (my favourite), zucchini, sweet potato, carrot, avocado - and a bowl of miso soup. Other variations come with salmon too. It costs about $6.20 per set which was quite worth it considering it has scallop and prawn, the pieces are big, and they were generous with tofu in their miso soup. The rice was sprinkled with their special sauce and the crisps from tempura batter.

The best thing is, if you prefer ala carte, they have a wide spread of many other items all laid out as well, for you to choose from if you do not fancy their standard sets. Each piece of veggie costs $0.60, and seafood costs $1.80 each. Another thing was, the tempura batter was not bad, which produced a good tempura. Not many food courts sell good Japanese tempura and always it is due to the flour used. So I thought this stall Tenya was worth the try - tempura with the standard of a restaurant at food court prices.
