Longing to travel to Japan for its sights, attractions and most importantly the food? Fret not as Sushi Tei is bringing the Best of Japan’s Winter Delights to our little red dot.
Established in 1994, Sushi Tei is a home-grown Japanese sushi restaurant chain trusted for its fresh quality food. Now, Sushi Tei has 85 Outlets in 8 countries that span Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam to name a few.
I was given an opportunity to try Sushi Tei myself. Starting with an appetizer the Saku Saku Tori Kawa ($6.80) sees chicken skin showered with seasoning and seaweed to contrast the crispiness of the chicken. I personally enjoyed the seaweed for its nice tangy taste.
The Maguro Trio Temari ($13.80) offers three different parts of a tuna. The otoro which is the Tuna belly, the akami the back loin of the meaty red tune and in-between is the chutoro, which all boast the melt in your mouth texture and sweetness. The chutoro is also very health boasting Vitamins A, D and E. Enjoy these delicious cuts that really popped with a little bit of soy sauce.
The Fuyu Bara Don ($19.80) is an assortment of salmon sashimi, sweet shrimp and grilled eel on sushi rice and garnished with crab flakes. With a spicy sauce mixed with sesame, the taste had a nice sweet spicy tangy feel. Having the rice accompanied with the salmon and eel makes the dish flow and mesh well together.
The Marumi Pork Goma Nabe ($11.80) is a hotpot perfect for cold and rainy days. The Marumi Pigs are raised in a Kyoto Farm and fed a corn-based diet making the pork tast nice and sweet. The hotpot is made with a sesame-based soup and is by far one of my new favourite foods.
Imagine Japanese Black Wagyu Cattle that are raised on a scenic and expansive farm of north-eastern Japan. The A5 Snow Wagyu Steak ($34.80) has a savoury natural sweetness and amazing depth of flavour. The Steak is pan fried and coated with a special sauce. Soft and chewy with great texture, you would have to try it to know its deliciousness.
After a filling meal, wash it all down with a Beer Cocktail ($9.80) which features a special house blend with floral notes. The taste is quite tangy, and with only a slight beer feel. The cocktail went really well with the food but I would recommend pairing it especially with the Fuyu Bara Don.
The dessert to finish it all off is Matcha Tofu Cheesecake ($5.80). Tofu gives this no-bake cheesecake a silky texture. Despite its name, there is only a slight matcha taste that does not overpower the entire dessert, just the way I like it.
Overall, my experience at Sushi Tei has been great and it definitely opened my eyes to a broader variety of Japanese food that is available. I recommend dropping by with a friend, family or someone who never tried Japanese food before. Of course, the sooner the better as The Sushi Tei’s Festive Indulgence menu will only be available from 15 December 2021 to 15 March 2022 so head on down now!
