Lunch at Tatsu Teppanyaki @ CHIJMES

If you want something that it distinctly Japanese without much fanfare, a good place for set meals would be Yayoiken. Visited their branch at 313 Somerset and ordered their Tekka don and On Udon set (S$17.90++) for lunch. Firstly, I’m all for the use of new technology and I quite like ordering food via iPads...
