The Teppanyaki experience
We had this amazing food experience in Sakae Teppanyaki. Since a long time I had been telling Anand about this place. Now that Anand is leaving for India, we thought we should hit all the places we want to try out.
So on Friday, we went to Tampines the Century Square plaza basement. The Sakae Teppanyaki is located right at the base of the escalator. As we were going down the escalator the aroma of grilled chicken and meat enveloped us. Anand who wasn’t having any idea of why I was being so fastidious about eating here was soon too eager to try out the food.
Within five minutes we were seated around a table with a chef busy cooking on the griddle at the centre of the table. There was another couple enjoying their meal. We also ordered for set chicken meal. The set meal comes with Miso soup, tofu steak, oyster, salmon, chicken, mixed mushroom and rice only for $17.50.
Once the chef started working on our meal, cooking the raw items on the griddle with garlic and soya sauce and butter, and one by one serving the dishes to us, we were more and more fascinated with the whole experience. Although the food was simply one of the best I have eaten in Singapore so far, more than the food, watching the chef skillfully maneuvering the food was the main attraction. The main highlight was what our fellow diners had ordered, “Chawanmushi” which is egg steamed with shrimp in an onion cup.
Sorry about not taking any pictures and providing you some food for imagination. But promise to be back with them in some other post soon.
Meanwhile you can enjoy this seven minutes clip that I found on youTube which is more than food for imagination… it’s the food itself.
