Following the previous post about tonkatsu restaurants in Hong Kong, I am going to talk about one tonkatsu restaurant that I have not covered and one tonkatsu restaurant that I have revisited.
Deep fried prawns (HKD$ 15X) |
ICHIGO. The restaurant deserves a second review. As covered in the previous post, the rice served is marvelous though a free refill is not available. The restaurant served the best katsudon (rice with deep fried pork and broken eggs with onions) among its peers; pork is crispy and juicy and eggs half-cooked and fluffy.
Katsudon (HKD$100 on Saturday) |
The restaurant have recently promoted a pork which is so tender that it could be cut with chopsticks. It tastes fine with a slight hint of tofu.

P.S. For your information, in some tonkatsu restaurants, you will be given a bowl and a wooden stick to grind sesame. This set of tools is not available in any tonkatsu restaurants in Japan.

The food looks nice in both places. I should give it a try. Have you tried the new Japanese Curry in Tsim Sha Tsui called CoCo Ichibanya?
ReplyDeleteTonkichi is good all around except for the price..
ReplyDelete@atrurosc, I have tried CoCo Ichibanya and it is quite good.
ReplyDelete@Eric Y, Tonkichi is quite expensive though Ichigo or 銀座梅林 is even more pricey.
