The Ultra King Prawn Tempura, an oversize Ebi tempura was a letdown due to the fact that the prawn was not fresh and the texture rather mushy. Although the batter was crispy, I had to peel away some of it as it was just too thick.
Ebi and Shitake Tempura - The wait staff mistakenly sent this over to our table meant for the next table and we just accepted it. Later they came back with just the prawns which was my original order but we told them ours was already served and then she gave it to the next table. Compared to its larger cousin above, this was a fresher catch though I wished that it had a thinner coat of batter. The mushroom was plump and juicy with a thin crispy shell; this is how a good vegetable tempura should be.
Power789 was asking the wait staff what is the difference between this Anago (below 1st picture) and the Unagi (below 2nd picture) and she couldn't answered him. Actually Anago is a saltwater eel and the Unagi, a freshwater eel. To tell you the truth, I ate both but still can't taste the difference in them, since they were both grilled and smothered with the same sweet sauce. If you want to know their differences, check out this site.
