Tampopo is definitely not new to many and for years, the restaurant has maintained its Japanese quality and standard throughout. The first restaurant was at Liang Court. The queue at Ngee Ann City is perpetually long during meal times. As early as 5pm, queue has already started.
During this season, Tampopo is offering a series of kurobuta pork dishes, from dons to noodles and shabu shabu. Despite the bustling hour, the servers are still very attentive to every customer's needs and wants. We ordered the below:
1. California salad ($10.80) - their chef recommendation salad. Shredded crabmeat tossed on the top with wasabi salad dressing. Vegetables are fresh and crunchy and very refreshing with the dressing. Rating: 4/5
2. Black pig toro jyu ($22.80) - slices of seasoned black pig meat on rice with miso soup, pickles and watermelon. The sauce on the rest was absolutely delicious and pork so tenderly grilled. Rating: 4.2/5
3. Aburi salmon don ($16.80) - not the best don but salmon slices are fresh. The rice was sweet and overall combination still good. Rating: 3.8/5
4. Tori karaage ($8.80) - 5 pcs of very well seasoned chicken accompanied with fried sweet potato chips. The karaage is so good that you could eat it on its own without the mayo. Yummy! Rating: 4.2/5
Dish prices are a little steep at Tampopo but still considered worth it for its quality. We will definitely be back for the rest.
