One of the usual questions people asked me back in Manila is what I usually eat in Singapore. People are surprised when my response is “japanese” coz this city is famous for hawkers. It’s not that I don’t like hawkers, it’s just that the freedom that comes with living alone and earning your own moolah extends to eating what you please. And I don’t think I’ve stressed enough how much I love steak, japanese and italian food. So why not, right? Nom nom nom. I promise not to overindulge this year, though! Time to get that beach bodehh back. 😉
Tonkichi is a Tonkatsu Specialty chain japanese restaurant in Singapore. They serve remarkable pork katsus in both rosu (loin) and hire (fillet). They also serve other kinds of katsus – like chicken and seafood – but I’m quite loyal to pork, haha. If you can’t choose between rosu or hire, they have a combination set for you to try (as pictured above). Their sushi is okay, but the star of their menu is really the tonkatsu. I wasn’t keen on their Katsudon as I found it too wet, and their Chirashi Don, although it comes with chawamsuhi and mini-udon, wasn’t that good because of the rice’s lack of flavor. All things aside, if great tonkatsu is what you want, Tonkichi doesn’t disappoint.
They have outlets in Takashimaya, Isetan Scotts, Orchard Central, and Tampines Mall. The photos above are from their Tampines Mall outlet. 🙂
