Username: Lazarus Larkin
Favorite type of tempura: sweet potato
Why: I don't usually like sweet potatoes all that much, but they're REALLY good for you. But somehow, when one is sliced up for tempura, it transforms into something awesome and delicious. I love how tempura batter is generally light and not all that greasy too!

Brief description of why you love it: It's tempura and ice cream all together at once, what's not to love? The next closest thing is mochi ice cream and don't even get me started on that.

* Username: Saber Blysmey
* Favorite type of tempura dish: One of the restaurants here makes a snack item consisting of a few chunks of chicken/pork dipped in tempura, skewered, fried, and then topped with some kind of sauce and sprinkled with sesame seeds.
* Brief description of why you love it!: It's super convenient as a light portable lunch or snack and the sauce they top it with goes really well with the crisp batter and tender meat. (:

* Favorite type of tempura dish: Oreo tempura.
* GRAH~! My taste buds are already watering. I absolutely love Oreo cookies deep-friend in a thick batter. There is just something absolutely delicious upon munching onto something that's soft, but with a slight chocolatey, crunchy interior. Top it off with a drizzle of chocolate syrup and we're good to go. I could manage the dish as a three course meal for life, aha. :9 <3

* the very first time I had Tempura, it was in a little authentic Japanese restaurant in Saint Louis. I was visiting a friend who had just graduated from Army Boot Camp. We drove eight hours.HAD TASTY JAPANESE! I had tempura for the first time. I picked Avocado because it is my favorite part in sushi. AVOCADO IS AMAZING TEMPURA!
