Photography: Yuki Ling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To pad my stomach for the main highlight, I began with the chilled tomato shikuwasa zuke ($5.50). This dish, featuring plump skinless tomatoes atop Okinawa citrus jelly, is an effective palate cleanser. I recommend this if you enjoy starting with tart, bright notes.<\/p>\n<p>The carpaccios are fresh menu additions. Get the salmon ikura carpaccio ($10) doused in a sweet-tangy sauce for an elevated version of salmon sashimi; or the truffle hamachi carpaccio ($15) for a more premium pick. The latter pleasantly surprised me with its aromatic and nutty sesame truffle sauce.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"same-crisp-new-surprises\"><\/span>Same crisp, new surprises<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Familiar with the former Tempura-Makino\u2019s light and crisp creations? The new sousaku tempura range is said to offer the same airy crunch with a unique line-up of fresh ingredients.<\/p>\n<p>Take, for instance, the truffle camembert tempura ($8). An ode to French cuisine with camembert cheese and truffle slices, this is a must-try for cheese lovers. Savour crisp batter, gooey cheese filling and robust truffle flavour in every bite.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_332109\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-332109\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-332109 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Tempura-En-Suntec-City-review-prosciutto-asparagus-tempura-and-toro-taku-with-crispy-seaweed-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Tempura-En Suntec City review - prosciutto asparagus tempura and toro taku with crispy seaweed\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Tempura-En-Suntec-City-review-prosciutto-asparagus-tempura-and-toro-taku-with-crispy-seaweed-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Tempura-En-Suntec-City-review-prosciutto-asparagus-tempura-and-toro-taku-with-crispy-seaweed-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Tempura-En-Suntec-City-review-prosciutto-asparagus-tempura-and-toro-taku-with-crispy-seaweed.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-332109\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The toro taku with crispy seaweed (left) prosciutto asparagus tempura. Photography: Yuki Ling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Another interesting dish is the Italian-inspired prosciutto asparagus tempura ($9). It makes a unique savoury combination with asparagus tempura wrapped in prosciutto ham and topped with grated cheese. But the overly chewy texture fell short for me.<\/p>\n<p>I also tried the toro taku with crispy seaweed ($9): minced tuna and pickled radish served alongside seaweed tempura. The minced tuna filling checked my boxes with its rich umami flavour. Unfortunately, the seaweed tempura lacked the expected crunch and almost felt like it had been left out too long. Perhaps I was unlucky with my batch.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"filling-up-on-more-japanese-staples\"><\/span>Filling up on more Japanese staples<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_332110\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-332110\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-332110 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Tempura-En-Suntec-City-review-Close-up-of-the-special-tendon-and-soba-set-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Tempura-En Suntec City review - Close-up of the special tendon and soba set\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Tempura-En-Suntec-City-review-Close-up-of-the-special-tendon-and-soba-set-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Tempura-En-Suntec-City-review-Close-up-of-the-special-tendon-and-soba-set-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Tempura-En-Suntec-City-review-Close-up-of-the-special-tendon-and-soba-set.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-332110\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The special tendon and soba set. Photography: Yuki Ling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Appetisers and nibbles aside, Tempura-En\u2019s set meals are where the true feast begins. The special tendon and soba set ($26.50) is my firm recommendation for fellow indecisive foodies who want the best of both worlds. You\u2019ll get a half portion of rice and soba (hot or cold, your choice), with an assortment of tempura.<\/p>\n<p>I like how the assorted mix \u2013 prawn, squid, maitake mushroom, eggplant, butternut pumpkin, French bean and egg \u2013 lets you try a bit of everything. The squid was an undeniable highlight with a bouncy, tender texture, sans any rubberiness. Another standout was the fresh Okinawan egg, featuring a rich, golden yolk that oozes gorgeously over the rice.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_332111\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-332111\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-332111 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Tempura-En-Suntec-City-review-kaisen-hitsumabushi-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Tempura-En Suntec City review - kaisen hitsumabushi\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Tempura-En-Suntec-City-review-kaisen-hitsumabushi-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Tempura-En-Suntec-City-review-kaisen-hitsumabushi-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Tempura-En-Suntec-City-review-kaisen-hitsumabushi.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-332111\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The kaisen hitsumabushi. Photography: Yuki Ling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you still have room for more, order the new kaisen hitsumabushi ($28). Sitting pretty on a wooden tray, this eye-catching set meal deserves an uninterrupted photo moment. The main star is the kaisen don piled high with the likes of fresh akaebi, maguro, salmon, baby scallop, and negitoro. On the side, you\u2019ll get a pot of homemade sea bream broth, tai goma carpaccio and tempura seaweed.<\/p>\n<p>This dish is recommended to be enjoyed in three ways: drizzled with soy sauce, paired with seaweed tempura for extra crunch, or enjoyed ochazuke-style with the broth. My go-to style? Slurping it up with the hearty fish broth for a soul-soothing end to this Japanese spread.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_332112\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-332112\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-332112 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Tempura-En-Suntec-City-review-Restaurant-interiors-and-counter-seating-900x643.jpg\" alt=\"Tempura-En Suntec City review - Restaurant interiors and counter seating\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Tempura-En-Suntec-City-review-Restaurant-interiors-and-counter-seating-900x643.jpg 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Tempura-En-Suntec-City-review-Restaurant-interiors-and-counter-seating-768x549.jpg 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/12\/Tempura-En-Suntec-City-review-Restaurant-interiors-and-counter-seating.jpg 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-332112\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Yuki Ling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The revamp of Tempura-En may not be rattling as many foodies\u2019 hearts as other viral restaurants like Tokyo\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/udon-shin-review-restaurant-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Udon Shin<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/nikuya-tanaka-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nikuya Tanaka<\/a>, but it\u2019s an underrated gem for satisfying Japanese fare.
