Tenkaichi opens its second restaurant at Cineleisure Orchard.

Celebrating
this festive season Tenkaichi has introduced The Ultimate Buffet, featuring
over 50 premium produce, inclusive of free-flow Asahi Beer, Ben & Jerry’s
Ice cream and 15 different types of drinks.

| Some of the Premium Buffet Items |
Chubby
Botak Koala and The Little Devil has a tasting at the Cineleisure outlet and
here are some of our picks from the Premium Choices:
Sashimi.
We are not sure what to expect, so we decided on Sashimi Moriawase. It consists
of salmon, tuna, sea bream, yellowtail, octopus, vinegar-pickled mackerel, wagyu
beef sashimi and seared wagyu beef. The seafood sashimi is fresh and the cuts
are generous. The wagyu sashimi is not to be missed, solid marbling and packs
MooMoo flavour.

Wagyu
Yukke Sashimi – Marinated Wagyu Beef with Egg Yolk. Not for the faint-hearted.
This Japanese version of steak tartare is a combination of marbled wagyu beef,
coated with silky egg yolk It is taste, good to be eaten with rice or on its
own. The marination is a combination of sweet and savoury, delivering the umami
flavour.

Wagyu
Tan – Wagyu Beef Tongue. Thinly sliced and cooked very fast. The texture of
the tongue is tender and springy. The wagyu version has the almost melt in your
mouth texture to the tongue.

Wagyu
Karubi & Wagyu Rosu (Wagyu Beef Short Rib & Wagyu Beef Rib Eye Cap).
Two of the most popular cuts for Japanese yakiniku. The karubi has more
marbling and fats, making it more delicate and can be overwhelming sometimes.
enjoyable to bite on. Meanwhile, the Rosu has a meatier texture to it, compare
to the karubi. Best cooked to medium-rare or medium, as you can bite into the
juiciness of the meat.

Wagyu
Nakaochi – Wagyu Beef Intercostal. It is served in a cube form. It will
take a longer time to cook, compare to karubi and rosu. The meat is juicy and
springy, due to the muscle content in the meat. You will need to chew more for
the cut, but you will be rewarded with a more complex flavour of the beef. Suitable
for someone that like their meat springy.

Hotate
(Giant Scallop) & Hokkaido Jumbo Oyster. Luxury seafood to BBQ. We
cooked this on a separate aluminium plate filled with butter. This allows the
scallops and oysters to retain their juiciness and prevent from overcooking.
The butter also adds a nice finishing to the scallops and jumbo oysters. We
added a sprinkle of salt and pepper, it just perks up the flavours of the
already plump and juicy oysters and scallops.

Karo
Buta Karubi – Black Pork Belly provided a pork alternative to the wagyu
beef. However, after tasting the waygu beef, the pork belly seems to lose out.

Shishamo. Not a premium item, but it deserves a special mention. If you grilled it nicely, it has a nice crunchy texture, followed with the burst of flavours from the fish egg.

One
unique point in Tenkaichi Cineleisure is that the BBQ plate also comes with a
space for shabu-shabu in the middle. Kind of remind you of the Seoul Garden bbq
version, however, the one here seems to works better. You basically can have
the best of both worlds. BBQ and Shabu-shabu. You can choose from 6 different
types of soup base: dashi, tonkotsu, kimuchi, yukkejyan, sukiyaki and tom yum.
We choose tonkotsu.
 |
| Yakiniku and Shabu Shabu |
The
shabu-shabu come with a different type of cuts of the meat. For wagyu, they
only serve one version which is the Wagyu Beef Short Plate. Full of marbling,
easily cooked and melts in your mouth.

To
add sweetness to the broth, try cooking some white clams and bamboo clams.

While
the ingredients above are our picks for the buffet, there are a lot of other
items available on the buffet line up such as tempura, fried rice, chawanmushi,
yakitori chicken, Takoyaki, assorted sushi roll, clams, bamboo clams,
mushrooms, meatballs, sausages, vegetables and many more. You can also create
your own dish with butter and mozzarella cheese.
When
it comes to shabu shabu or steamboat, I normally end my meal by creating this
simple egg porridge. The broth already infused with a medley of premium ingredients;
it should not be wasted. Topped it with wagyu beef, eggs and spring onions.

Not
forgetting the sweet ending of Ben & Jerry Ice Cream. Since it is a buffet,
you can actually have it anytime.
Overall,
it has been a while since we visited Tenkaichi. It is good to be back and we
enjoy the additional shabu shabu buffet as well.
