Feast of the month ? CNY Eve ? Tempura Hajime

This year, for our chinese new year dinner celebration, we opted for Japanese, one major reason is normally chinese restaurant will be super busy and packed with people where each table will get similar banquet dinner, I felt that the food is normally not that good.

I have heard  that it is hard to get booking for Tempura Hajime, so I called the day before expecting fully booked confirmation, surprisingly, the lady on the phone say, “yes, 3 people is fine” I was like “yattaaa, Hajme here I come he he”

My angler was quite skeptical that having tempura the whole night, surprisingly we really enjoy the night, each tempura is crisp, you dont feel oily at the back of your tounge, the sweetness of each serving pops leaving you with yearning for more. I quite like the introduction of several options of dipping sauce, because it really make a different to the tempura.

Tempura Hajime set a higher bar for us in terms of judging tempura in other jap restaurant. I am sure we would hear ourselves saying “hmm Not as nice as Hajime or hmm just as nice or in par with Hajime”

Overall good food good service good companies  = great Chinese New Year Eve
