Sushi Tei
#02-13, Ngee Ann City 6737 8878 I think my last visit to Sushi Tei was when Vivocity 1st opened. Yes, it's been THAT long so this visit was long overdued.
The ubiquitious Potato Croquette ($3.20++) found at any self-respecting Japanese restaurant was perfectly fried till the breadcrumbs turned a golden hue. The potato inside was so soft that you don't have to bite at all and there's also chunks of carrot and corn studded in it. A tad pricey but worth a try.  Our main course was the Collagen Salmon Belly and Hotate Nabe ($18++). This is perfect for 2 or 3 persons as the serving was quite large. A electric stove was brought to our table and the waitress instructed us to wait for about 15mins for the huge block of collagen to melt before tucking in. We chose to have a miso base (the other 2 choices are shoyu or spicy). The broth was super sweet! And since it's good for the skin (with all the collagen), I slurped it all up. But after the 2nd bowl, the high sodium level started to kick in. The salmon belly was my favourite since the fats literally melted in my mouth. For those who haven't try it before, think of pork belly and the layers of fats in it. Mmm.. Scallops were also very sweet and plump!  There are quite a few other items on the menu that I want to try so I'll definitely come back again! Service was also very efficient and friendly. I requested for a refill of water when the manager walked past our table pushing a trolley full of dirty dishes. She immediately "abandoned" the trolley and went to get the jug of water. Thumbs up for placing the customers' needs 1st! Labels: Japanese 4:11 PM ---------- WELCOME!

The Umaki ($6++) was so good! The sweet omelette complemented the savoury eel perfectly. I like!
