Sushi Tei (Raffles City)

I am quite the poor student so I would usually go for Sakae but every once in a while, the parents will feel a little rich and bring me to Sushi Tei! Sometimes I had to beg for it lar but the begging is worth it! Hehehehee.

The entrance leading into the restaurant is very nicely designed and I think it’s useful because it’s so crowded usually. So the nice surroundings as you slowly crawl ahead of the queue helps to ease the blood pressure. :p The interior is also very nice with some big rooms to cater for bigger groups. (My dad did try to ask for the huge room with only 4 of us eating and got rejected. Haha.)

I looooooooooooovee the sashimi there! Very fresh and smooth. The Unagi is my all time favourite and I never fail to order it every time I am there. The only stuffs that I dislike there are probably the fried ones. But this may be because that I don’t really like fried stuffs in the first place. :p

Go early to beat the crowds!

I agree with kormmandos, you really pay for quality at sushi tei.... but i can say that for the kind of quality and variety they offer, the price is pretty reasonable.

Like most high end japanese restaurants, Sushi Tei serves food that is fresh and is processed by experienced chef.

We could judge this by simply biting into the sushi. The sushi rice by conventional sushi restaurant chains which uses machine to shape the rice are hard, tight and sticks to your teeth when u chew into them.

But Sushi Tei's sushi rice is like those hand made by experienced sushi chefs are soft but not soggy, firm with shape but yet not tight, Loose but does not come apart easily and most importantly it does not stick to your teeth when you chew at it.

The variety of dishes in the menu is fabulous. I had their raw lobster once. When the lobster is being served, the legs are still flexing a little. That shows the very experience slicing skill of the sashimi chef. The raw lobster was sweet, juicy and simply melts in your mouth. A real delicacy......

Simple dishes like just wheat noodles with an egg in soya sauce taste fabulous too. Though simple and light, this humble dish bring about an explosive taste. Once you tried it, you will never forget the taste and will continuing want to have it. Thats the KUNG FU of a POWERFUL CHEF...

If you want a more chic looking place to impress your business customers, you could always try the outlet at RAFFLES CITY.... Classy with a good selection of food, desserts and beverages. The warm ambience is good for business meetings and gathering with friends. If you are just interested in the food, i suggest you pop by the Holland Village or the Takashimaya Outlet......

Really MUST TRY!!!!
