I didn't give
a raving review for Kogane Yama Tendon but taste
differs from person to person and in Alex's opinion, the tendon
restaurant at Bugis Junction is good enough for us to drop by again
for lunch after a karaoke session at Manekineko
Bugis +.
To efficiently
spend my hard-earned money, i had to justify the meal with a blog post and the
only way is to have something other than the normal tendon; soba was out of
stock so that left me with only udon.
Since it's
soup based, we didn't get the nice, instagram-worthy picture of a small bowl of
rice literally overflowing with deep fried stuff. For good reason too as the
soup would render the crispiness totally useless.
This time
round, i also opted for the spicy sauce. In my food reviews, i always prefer to
go with the basic / original unless it's for local dishes where i have a better
grasp of what to expect or i was advised by others to choose something
different.
My preference
after trying both the non-spicy and the spicy sauce level one - the spicy sauce
wins for the pinch of spiciness that totally tingled the taste buds and set it
aside from the sweeter sauce found in other tendon eateries. Having said that,
my heart still remains with Kohaku and Ginza
Itsuki.
Udon tasted
like the udon i always know; not impressionable and only seek to reinforce the
notion that i am better off with the local mee poh / mee kia. Soup flavour was
plain and simple; again, i would be better off with good old Japanese
rice.
Matcha Latte -
this was one section of the non-extensive menu that caught my attention
previously and i decided to get a cup of original matcha latte this
time!
Available only
in cold, this was like your common green tea milkshake with a weak green tea
taste that should have been intensified for that unforgettable
oomph.
There's even a
piece of lightly roasted marshmallow; no idea what it was there although i get
the feeling it's merely to beautify the beverage.
Okay, i
couldn't resist roasted marshmallow with their charred, caramelized layer and
devoured it in no time; and feeling a pang of guiltiness after that for
ingesting extra sugar into the body.
As a
milkshake, i did enjoy the matcha latte and would feel better if the glass
wasn't filled with ice; mind you, i am looking at about three quarter of the
glass!
