Grilled, deep-fried and all things Japanese


The Deluxe Tendon (RM49), comes with conger eel, squid, prawn, and a vegetable tempura on rice. Each tendon set comes with miso soup and Japanese pickles. — RAYMOND OOI/The Star

Japanese food and I really don’t go well together, but fried Japanese food? Well, now we’re talking. Anything fried gets me excited but I am at Akimitsu for tendon which is golden brown, deep-fried tempura atop a bowl of rice.

The word “tendon” is a portmanteau of “tenpura donburi”, a bowl of rice topped with tempura (also spelled tenpura).
