Food: Tenryu Japanese Dining & Teahouse Review, Dairy Farm Estate

I will include the direction in the section below, or at least I will try my very best to describe how we got there. 

We chose a Japanese restaurant because the birthday girl hinted her desire for a salmon cake. So we threw a 'Salmon party' for her. More about that next time. Tried our luck at Tenryu and the chef made it happened! Thank you! This is a good idea for people who do not like cakes? :p

This is unusual. I don't know why but I have been craving for this ever since that day! The salmon sashimi somehow tasted different, in a good way!! Wasabi was pretty good too. Yes, there are bad wasabis in the market.

The fish was well-marinated, tender and flavourful. The rice is albeit dry/tasteless so it will be perfect if something can be done! Other than that, this is quite a fuss-free meal option.

I will never order curry rice from Japanese restaurants because it is so easy to cook, many places even use pre-mix, but it is often priced around let's say a don. I just don't find it worth the sum I am paying. However, we got this dish because the staff mentioned it is one of the more popular dishes there. 

Glad to know their curry has  their own unique vibe. It is firstly more spicy than the usual Japanese curry and secondly, there is a faint beef taste? I did not check with the kitchen but it was nonetheless a pleasant experience. 

Now fried rice is easy to make but a good plate of fried rice is not. With that in mind, this garlic salmon fried rice and fragrant and oily. Dry fried rice never works you see. Sprinkled with generous amount of salmon bits, this is what people called 'value bowl'. 

TENRYU Maki ($17.80) Salmon sushi roll with Tenryu sauce

Salmon on the sushi was lightly torched. I am usually a sucker for torched salmon but surprisingly I find this average.




Find it very plain & simple. I still prefer my shiok maki when it comes to maki because it is heavily drenched in sauces.

Still not a fan of Yuzus, am I the only one? I find the yuzu taste did not value-add except it makes the beer even more bitter. The girls finished it though so I guess... beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Now I will definitely recommend you to check out Tenryu Japanese Dining and Teahouse for the very thoughtful service and tasty (yet very pocket-friendly) food. We did not wait for very long too. I love the food and the ambience that night - it was amazing. The top favourites will be salmon sashimi platter and garlic fried rice.

PS, no GST and service charge!
