Revisiting Ginza Tendon Itsuki

Ginza Tendon Itsuki, Tanjong Pagar

Been some years since we first and last ate at Keisuke's Ginza Tendon Itsuki.

I don't know if any improvements have been made to the ventilation but the shop still leaves the smell from the fryer all over you when you leave.

It's a good place to load up on their lightly pickled vegetables though. A couple of servings before the tendons are served and a couple more during to cut through all the greasy fried food.

Each order of their tendon comes with a miso soup and a small chawanmushi.

Seafood tendon's pretty decent. There's a surprisingly moist chunk of salmon in there which I thought was a better eat than the white fish piece which had the taste/texture of cheap dory. Prawn's nice and so were the scallops. It's all pretty good as long as one doesn't make unrealistic comparisons.

Ginza Tendon Itsuki, spicy chicken mushroom tendon

We picked the spicy tendon sauce for the chicken & mushroom tendon. There's a piece of fillet, thigh and breast meat. Mushrooms included eringi, maitake and a shitake cap. That spicy sauce had a prickling heat which paired nicely with the sweetness of the base tendon sauce. 👍🏼

Who could begrudge the molten yolk over rice?
