Ten Ten Tei seems to be a popular place as people were queuing when we arrived and when we left. Overall, the food was good and affordable for London, but it was short from being spectacular.

Business Partner ordered a tonkatsu set, which also came with chicken fillet, miso soup and sashimi. We both found that the sashimi was bland and a bit rough. BP assured me that it was better before.

My tempura udon was a bit of a disappointment as they served the tempura in the soup. I can’t remember if they actually do that in Japan, but my crispy battered shrimp and vegetables turned out soggy and were stripped of their taste.

After dinner, we headed for drinks near Piccadilly Circus. We met a very charming and talented singer, Tara McDonald, who graced the remix of Armand Van Helden’s My, My, My and Axwell’s Feel the Vibe. Turns out she’s on MySpace (the geek that I am, I had to ask), and now we’re going to have our first friend on the site other than Tom from MySpace. (Still not sure if MySpace is an appropriate vehicle for us to develop our brand).
