Hi there<\/p>\n

The last time I went to Asakusa was a good 7 years back before I start my family and I still remember it was soooo cold during that time, that I hardly did anything there except eat eat eat eat..<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

But this time round, since it is summer, I decided to really make an effort to walk around and explore, managed to visit yet a gain some old shops, got my dessert fix eating really nice Japanese kakigori<\/a> or ice kachang.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And also managed to still stuff this gigantic Tendon which is tempura prawns on rice at this really authentic traditional tempura shop called Daikokuya.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

They are pretty famous for their gigantic tempura prawns on rice which can barely placed on the bowl of rice.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

I didn’t go for the all prawns set but decided on the one with tempura prawns, vegetables and fish. I think it is a much better choice because although the tempura is huge, it is also because the dough they used is really thick. I am not kidding, just eating the tempura already makes you filled up pretty easily.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Also instead of using reguar oil to fried their tempura, they use sesame oil, guess that’s why their tempura comes out in a much darker brown tone, rather than the fluffy light golden ones.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see on the photo, it is so huge, I can’t even see the rice beneath. Oh and I love the pickles that it served together, not the sourish ones you normally get, but really refreshing crunchy ones that clear your palate instantly.<\/p>\n

Each bowl cost less than SGD20, although price is okay, but I would very much share this with someone else than eating all by myself so that I can still explore around Asakusa for more snacks. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
