Tonkatsu @ 1 Utama

Normally during the weekend I will go to 1 U for groceries shopping...
Then I read a review from Sean that there is a new Japanese restaurant at 1 U...
It is definitely a good news for porky lovers..
They serve Fried Crispy Pork.. which is something that I don't eat often...


I am not sure whether it is good or not..
so we just ordered 1 set combo and share with my wife..
Besides that everything is fried and we afraid that it might be very heaty..


We ordered the "Mameton" set... RM32.90
We could sample all the meats.. Pork Loin, Pork Fillet and Prawn 
Those fried stuff were not oily..
if my wife eat fried food she will normally use a tissue to suck all the oil...
but this time she does not need to do that... 

Beside that you could refill the chopped cabbage and the rice..
If you are a "rice tong" then you could ask for another bowl of rice...
I like their chopped cabbage and I put some sesame dressing in it..

Maybe all the staff are new and they had some problems on the order..
We waited for 20 minutes for the food..
So guys if your orders did not come please check with the waiter.. 

They offer plain rice and multi grain rice..
We were there early and sad to say that the multi grain rice was not ready yet.....



The miso soup was great... and there are so many ingredients (dashi, mushroom & etc) in it...

Do yo know what make the soup so nice  ?
behold the secret ... Pork Fat .. 
they put it to make the soup tastier and more fragrant.. 
My wife just scoop it out ..... :(

I always very fascinating about japanese gadjets.. 
I saw these sesame grinder/disposal.. 
It is for you to put some sesame on the rice and sauces... 

Maybe it is new shop opening and they give all the customers a complementary jelly..

  10. Pork fat is so sinful but I can't hold myself from letting go. I am quite tempted with the pork and looks tempting. 1U is way out for us and the parking is mad.

    1. RM32.90 errr not cheap at all but then not too expensive also lah, considering you have unlimited refills of the cabbage and rice.. and you order one set to share with fui fui, so one person only RM16.45 still consider sesame for the rich SP lah..

    2. the pork katsu looks so good lah.. i am also a pork lover, you too?? yeah, give me five!! and are you sure that is simply miso soup?? got so many ingredients inside, i thought it must be some other soup lah, i mean another name for it..

    3. actually the photo you have taken looks exactly like what i have seen from the website.. i was doing research before i went to HK at www.openrice.com.. so i think this means they have very strict standard for all their outlets throughout the globe to have the same thing for every dish.. this is cool!!!

  21. I think I ever saw this Tonkatsu restaurant before but don't know where. Forgot liao. So good can refill chopped cabbage and rice one. First time I heard for a Japanese restaurant.

    ReplyDelete
  22. Free refill is a good thing even if it's just rice and cabbage because it would still add cost to the bill if one has to reorder them.

    I'm actually glad that there are (new) restaurants that serve pork other than the authentic Chinese restaurants. There are not many places that serve a good pork chop.
