I went for a complimentary buffet dinner for 2 at Takaya's Bistro yesterday. This Bistro at 244B Upper Thomson is actually its 2nd outlet in Spore. The 1st one is in Chinatown Point. Michelle and I had actually went there for dinner once. The marketing manager searched through blog site for those who had been there and invited them for a complimentary buffet dinner. So there Allan and I went.

The signboard is very prominent, so you don't have to worry having problem to locate the Bistro along Upper Thomson which has so many eateries! The Operations Manager Charlie who is in charge of the store was very friendly and recommended quite some dishes for us to try! It's my 1st time eating scallop tempura. It was yummy! hehe... I love their grilled/bbq mushroom! It was very juicy! I regretted not ordering another serving but then I was too full at the end. Next time, I will have more of this. Their sashimi platter consists of tuna, swordfish, salmon and cuttlefish. I ate cuttlefish sashimi elsewhere before and didn't like the taste so I asked them to omit it. Usually I only take salmon. But I'm keen to try on tuna and swordfish. Finally Allan has identified the one and only sashimi that he dares to take and that is Swordfish! For me, I'm surprised that I like the tuna as well.

They had a new dish called Ebi Teppanyaki. It's prawns cooked with black pepper and a special sauce. This is a new dish created by the Bistro. It' s unique & delicious. They have this ingredient: "Niu2 Bang4" in some of their dishes which I seldom see in other Jap restaurant. like their appetitizer and a top-shell stew dish.

This food in Takaya is very reasonable priced! That was why I always wanted to bring Allan to the Chinatown point but no chance to due to the location. Well, next time we can just pop by the Upper Thomson branch!

Takaya's main company is actually supplier of seafood! So that's why the customers can get good deals at lower price. Charlie showed us their retailing list. We wanted to buy scallop tempura and seafood roll last night. But we need to pre-order if we wish to collect it at the Bistro. Their office which has the ready stock is at Ubi! Very near my place and Allan's office. So we will pop by there to buy instead. hehe....

I'm looking at the Delivery Order list right now.... Alot to buy from lei. tempura fish fillet. tepura squid rings, seasoned octopus, softshell crab,raw scallop meat, raw prawn, seafood tofu. I think if I am organizing a party, can grab alot of stuff there. The prices are very reasonable.
