Tendon Ginza Itsuki @ Tanjong Pagar Road

Tendon Ginza Itsuki at Orchid Hotel, Tanjong Pagar is Ramen Keisuke's eighth and latest concept outlet in Singapore. The newest concept offers delightful one bowl soul food meals to the diners, served in a special porcelain bowls by Arita (a 400 year old porcelain brand from Japan).

The menu at Tendon Ginza Itsuki is very simple. There are only 2 items on the menu. Special Tendon  - Tempura on Rice ($13.90) and Vegetable Tendon - Vegetable Tempura on Rice ($12.90). Complimentary pickled cabbage are served at the table. Diners can help themselves to them. Tempura is all fried stuff, so these pickles are very thoughtful to help cut through the greasiness.

Steamed Egg 4/5

Besides the complimentary pickled cabbage, the Tendon also comes with Steamed Egg and Miso Soup. It basically is like having a set meal.

Vegetable Tendon 3.5/5

The Vegetable Tendon comes with tempura pumpkin, shiitake mushroom, lotus root, eggplant and 4 pieces of other vegetables. This is a delightful rice bowl with abundance of vegetables to fill up the stomach. The other highlight is the tendon sauce that is drizzled over the rice bowl, which lifted the flavour of the tempura and rice. The tendon sauce is also available at table side if you want to add more of it.

Special Tendon 4.2/5

My recommendation would to go for the Special Tendon that comes with 2 pieces of prawn, 2 pieces of chicken and 4 pieces of vegetables. There is even a half boiled egg hidden underneath the pile of tempura. I find that this is a more satisfying rice bowl with the prawn, chicken, egg and vegetables. Drizzled with the tendon sauce, this accentuated the flavour a notch.

I think Tendon Ginza Itsuki is really value for money with its hearty and comforting bowl of tempura on rice. It was also quite entertaining sitting at the bar counter watching the chefs preparing each tendon upon order. However be warn that you will leave the place smelling like tempura. Do spread yourself with some Febreze fabric refresher provided at the cashier counter before leaving the restaurant.

Overeasy @ Liat Tower (Orchard Road)

The famous stretch of Orchard Road welcomes OverEasy's second outlet at Liat Tower. The second outlet is different from its Fullerton branch offering an American family and communal dining experience. This is also the exact same spot where Singapore's first McDonald is housed, paying homage to American dining culture at the iconic spot.

Crispy Brussels Sprouts 2.8/5

The dining experience at Overeasy begun with some starters. We started with the Crispy Brussels Sprouts ($12). The appearance was a bit unappetising but the saving grace has to be the deep fried crispiness and the sriracha dipping sauce. Not my preferred way of enjoying the brussels sprouts. I still like it to be crunchy.

Popcorn Chicken with Salted Caramel Popcorn 4/5

Don't say I don't warn you that the Popcorn Chicken with Salted Caramel Popcorn ($16) is very addictive. The chicken are coated in a thin layer of cornflake batter that is light and crispy. Pairing it with the sweet salted caramel popcorn, the awkward combination strangely works perfectly. How I wish I have a full bowl of these for my movie night every time.

Spicy Buffalo Wings 4.2/5

If you are in for a fiery delicious challenge, the Spicy Buffalo Wings ($16) will give you a fiery kick start to the meal. It comes in 4 spicy levels, with level 4 the hottest. For the daredevils, the restaurant also has a spicy wing roulette, adding some fun into the meal.

The Truffle Burger 4.2/5

What is American food without the burger right? A must try at Overeasy is the Truffle Burger ($28) which the patty is made of wagyu chuck blend sandwiched on toasted brioche bun, served with fries on the side. Topped with Swiss cheese, truffle mayo, sauteed onions and mushroom, this is one juicy goodness that you don't mind getting your hands messy.

Mac & Cheeks 4.2/5

The Mac & Cheeks ($22) is mac & cheese level up with braised beef cheeks, gruyere and parmesan. The combination of cheesy and bites of pulled braised beef cheeks gives the dish an addition lift in both taste and texture enjoyment.

Beer Can Chicken 4.5/5

A secret menu item at Overeasy is the Beer Can Chicken ($58). Do check with the kitchen as there are only limited quantity each day and it will take a while to cook it. However it will be worth the wait as the chick is extremely tender, juicy and flavourful. I will definitely go back for this.

Bourbon Donut Holes with Homemade Fudge 4/5

The dessert menu is a bit disappointing with only 3 selections. Nevertheless the Bourbon Donut Holes with Homemade Fudge ($12) is a delectable chewy finishing to the dinner.

I actually went to Overeasy without much expectation as I am not a big fan of American food. I have to say I left the place feeling satisfied and in fact impressed with some of the dishes. After a long day shopping at Orchard Road, pop into Overeasy with your shopping bags and you may get some freebies from the restaurant. This is some of the ongoing promotions to reward their guests.
