    the most expensive Shabu i had so far but is so gd that is worth every single cent! Located at Takashimaya level 4. We were captivated by the yummy pictures of shabu and here we go lol. we managed to get a seat despite the restaurant is about 70% packed.

    04-28 Takashimaya Shopping Centre, 391 Orchard Rd, Singapore 238872 ‎

    +65 6735 2959 ‎ ·

    on their menu, they offered sushi and bento sets. and they also offer sukiyaki and nanbe set. For our case, we decided on their most expensive shabu set lol. for this set, we were given their premium beef and it comes with vege, desert too. at the end of the shabu, they will use the stock from the shabu to cook porridge which is really good. enough said, let the pictures do the talking
    the sauce for shabu and is really good. i love the sesame sauce!
    the fresh vege that comes with it.
    the beef! you can see the fats that is evenly spread. the beef is super tender and thinly sliced. it taste heavenly! i love it
    after shabu, they use the soup to cook porridge and is really good! 
    ending the day with desert! 
    overall

  • of to heaven and back last Sat ~ Omakase @ Teppei

    Visit my website @ http://shirleylye12.wix.com/princessmic

    Sound exaggerating? Nope. Last Sat i was fed with the finest japanese cuisine that it sent me straight up to cloud nine + tears streaming down from my eyes…it is too delicious that words cannot best describe my feelings except i tempt you with all the food pictures i took last Sat. muahahaha.

    You must be trying to think where i was last Saturday? haha.

    Teppei Restaurant
    1 Tras Link #01-18 Orchid Hotel Singapore 078867
    Tel : 6222 7363
    Lunch ( Mon- Fri : 11:45am – 2:30pm) Dinner : (Mon – Sun : 6:30pm – 10:30pm)

    The restaurant is opened by Yamashita Teppei. During lunch time, they serve bento sets and other japanese dishes ( my friend tells me that is super good too) but at night, they serve omakase. and yes! I was there for their Omakase muahahaha

    So what is Omakase?
    ‘Omakase’ simply means “I’ll leave it to you”. The chef decides entirely what you eat, beginning with the lightest starters, proceeding to the richer dishes and ending with a dessert. At Teppei, you would be given some choices, for example between rice or noodles. 

    Their Omakase is priced from 50 upto 85 bucks per set. Trust me, it is really worth every single cent. and Yes, it is a counter only restaurant that can sit up to 20 pax at one time only so there is a waiting Q that you need to join. for your info, the reservation list is fully taken up until end of this yr and you will need to book for next yr slot already! since we are there, we opt for the most expensive one la..

    Overall,
    Food : **** ( out of 5)
    Price : *** ( comparing to the type of food we ate that night, it is super value for money!)
