One of my favourite cuisines is Japanese, and I could have it almost every day if I had to.

Given that I can’t admit to being a lover of fish, it must be said that if the fish is cooked Japanese style, then I’d be happy to eat it.

That’s why FairPrice Tempura Fish Fillets are a welcome addition to its stable of frozen foods. Premium hake fish fillets are coated in authentic Japanese tempura batter that remains lightly crisp after deep-frying or oven baking.

You could serve it as fish and chips, or as part of a simple Japanese set meal, which can be easily put together.

I’ve made it here with cha soba or cold soba and a tempura dipping sauce. It’s really a matter of quick assembly once you’ve boiled the noodles and cooked the fish.

Best of all, it will impress your children, or friends when they visit for a quick and delicious dinner.

FairPrice Tempura Fish Fillet ($4.03, 220g) is available at all FairPrice supermarkets.
