I was walking along Toa Payoh's library I can't help but stopped and notice that the building next to shop & save had changed, on top of that a huge banner highlighting a Jap buffet @ 'Shinkei' was hung at the front of the building.
After recommendation from friends, I decided to give it a try and boy am I lucky enough to purchase the deals before satisfying my Jap's craving.
We were welcomed with a brightly lighted signboard. The interior, it had just enough light to allow you to see what you are eating, accompanied with the background Japanese music which built up the just right atmosphere.
The waitress welcomed us with a big smile, which made that evening better! She brought us to our table, and patiently went through the method of ordering, as it is our first time there.... (she is really helpful)
We started ordering a stick of gizzard, a piece of shishamo and two portion of mixed sashimi and etc.... (the portioning was purposely made small just enough for us to try.)
when we gotten our order for the salmon sashimi, it was rather disappointing as the slice of salmon was a little petite and thin compared to those sashimi at other Jap restaurant....
To me sashimi of a bite size, with a little of width is considered to be the minimum of a good sashimi platter. And of cause, the choice of the various parts of the salmon also played a big part.
The gizzard and the shisamo were sadly under my expectations, the gizzard wasn't properly treated before cooking, there's a smell when you are eating it. Which is not appetizing. For the shisamo it was way overcooked. (It supposed to be pregnant fish, but I think I ate just a flat and skinny fish) =((
Nonetheless we finished the plate of the sashimi... and we decided to give it a second chance and placed another order of the salmon sashimi. When the second serving of the salmon sashimi was dished out, I know we did the right thing to give it a second chance. The sashimi is served much better, which turns the table around, Sedapp....
The terriyaki beef were a little over cooked, as each bite I took the beef just get chewier and tougher :((.
The tempura will just right, the batter was light and tasty...
With the well mannered service crews, this venue is suited for families and large group of friends to enjoy nights out together... I will recommend if you guys want to try it, purchase the deal from groupon.sg or deal.sg; it is more worth it!
