restaurant: TEMPURA

**ghosthunter** · June 25th, 2004 11:56 PM

I like eating japanese food, especially now that there are places where you can eat japanese food without emptying your wallet.

Now there is this place near Greenhills Shopping Center called TEMPURA. I've eaten here when it was a week old. The food was great but the chicken terriyaki wasn't as good as at Terriyaki Boy.

Tonight, my wife and I went back there to have dinner out. We ordered futo-maki, gyodon, seafood ramen and some shrimp tempura.

Here's my take:
-futomaki: the menu mentioned 5 pieces but our order arrived with only FOUR. We mentioned it to the waiter but he said, "mali lang ng hiwa". Not satisfied with his answer, we asked him to make another order of futo-maki. This time it arrived 5 pieces and it seems the pieces were just as thick as the first order our waiter brought over.... HMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmm, so what happened to the first order??? The waiter/cook/chef did a sampling to check if the food was good???

-gyudon: my most often order "rice-topping" in japanese restaurants. In my previous dinning experience in Tempura, the meat was moist and soft and there was a lot of sauce in the rice to make it nice and flavorful. Tonight, the meat was kinda "overcooked" tough and there was barely enough sauce to give the rice a slight color... hhmmmmmmmmmm

-seafood ramen: well, my wife ordered this... among other stuff mixed into it is some squid... which was probably tough as leather because she couldn't bite through it. The noodles probably came from chow-king by how it tasted... hmmmmm

-shrimp tempura: probably the only good order we had tonight. It better be, because it's the restaurant's damn name!!!

Basically we weren't happy when we left... and probably be the last time we'll be eating there
