B and I went there for dinner last Friday after work and a queue was already forming at the entrance. Luckily I have made reservation and we were ushered to our table right away.
Takeru has new menu! They now serve half-sized mains (at lower prices), so that you could order several dishes at one go. Good for sharing and trying out new dishes.
This was my 6th visit to Takeru and their service and food have not failed me. We skipped our all-time favourite, omu-soba this time and sampled some other food.
B's favourite iced UCC coffee, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. $4.20. He ordered this almost every time we dined at Takeru. Though I should not be drinking caffeinated drinks now and I'm not a coffee drinker to say the least, I was begging to have a few sips and ended up drinking more than I should. The coffee itself is not sweet and the ice-cream serves as a perfect complement.
My current favourite - Chicken namban. Succulent deep-fried battered chicken served with namban sauce (sweet and sour vinegary sauce) and tartar sauce. This dish originates from Miyazaki in Kyushu in the 1960s. I ordered a set meal for $12.90, which comes with a separate bowl of rice, miso soup and picked vegetable. You can choose to have just the chicken and salad for $9.90.
Mentai spaghetti (half-sized) $6.30. You can order a full sized dish for about $11.50.
Hotate ebi garlic cha-han. I like this garlic fried rice with scallops and gigantic prawns. The rice is a bit soggy though, but still a wonderful creation. $11.50
