Yayoiken

The few times that I dined at Liang Court, aka the little Japan in Singapore, I was never disappointed by the food. Yayoiken was no different. 

Their menu had both set meals and a la carte items including rice, noodles, steak, appetizers and desserts. We might have been a bit greedy that day and ordered a bit too much :P

Prawn tempura was a really nice starter. The prawn was sweet and juicy and the batter was crispy without being too greasy. The portion was also quite generous. 

The tekka don, sushi rice topped with tuna sashimi, came with a bowl of miso soup, for which complimentary refill was available. The tuna was fresh and thick. It was a simple but tasty dish.

Pork katsu don with cold udon. 

The Special steak mix was probably what we liked the least out of dinner, although the picture did look appetizing on the menu. The beef steak was a bit tough and the few streaks of bacon had soaked up all the grease at the bottom of the hot plate. The chicken chop and the hamburger steak were too salty for my taste. 

Overall the food at Yayoiken was delicious and affordable. We even saw a few groups of Japanese customers there, which was always a good sign. It is a restaurant that I would definitely return (but would stick to the rice dishes next time!)
