Located on the edge of Chinatown, Takeru is a modern-age Japanese restaurant that serves a unique blend of Japanese-Western fusion cuisine, and has a perfect setting for a casual, relaxed yet affordable dining experience.
We have been to Takeru a few times and I heart their omu soba, along with other good dishes. It's been a while since we last had the fried noodles and when B asked if I want to go Takeru for my birthday dinner, I was ecstatic and was counting down to my big day (though I was not entirely looking forward to the big three-o).
It was a quiet dinner with B and our little-B. No fancy presents, flowers, cakes and such. Just good food and great company, that's all I need.
First came the crispy tasty treat - Renkon Chips. Thin slices of deep-fried lotus roots sprinkled with chili powder. Yum!
The highly recommended Omu Soba (omurestsu=omelette, soba=buckwheat noodles). Stir-fried yakisoba with chicken pieces and mushrooms wrapped in a thin omelette, served with mayonnaise and Tonkatsu sauce.
Tonkotsu Ramen. Generous bowl of noodles in a rich Tonkotsu (pork stock) broth with cha siu slices, egg, seaweed and such.
To round off the meal, we had a very interesting and delightful combination of black sesame and vanilla ice-cream. The black sesame ice-cream is divine, a little nutty and not too sweet! The perfect finish.
The bill came up to less than $35. We left with full bellies and happy hearts. :) Takeru, we will be back soon!
