The Android is back with yet another food review, as the good people at work have been raving about Tonkichi for what seemed like an eternity. This Japanese tonkatsu restaurant owns a couple of outlets in town and one at Suntec. In the end, everyone settled for the one at Ngee Ann City.
To be honest, The Android was skeptical about the hype. What The Android means to say is, tonkatsu will be tonkatsu, right? Just coat them suckers in bread crumbs and deep-fry the motherfuckers, right? Well, wrong. There is tonkatsu… and there is Tonkichi tonkatsu. It’s just something about the way they fry their stuff that triggers a foodie reaction. Take their pork loin for instance. With its crust fried to such crispy perfection, one will not expect the bursting tender juiciness of the fatty pork beneath to follow. You will get so high on the pork and all its porky goodness, it won’t be funny.
That’s not all! The Android also strongly recommends that you upgrade your accompanying miso soup to the Tonjiru soup that’s shit full of tasty ingredients! You will not regret it. Salads and rice are refillable at no extra charge, so be sure to go crazy.
A word of caution, though. If the portions look inadequate to you on their menu, do not be fooled. The Android could have settled for a regular tonkatsu set, but nooooo, he has to order the tonkatsu loin and fried oyster set. The Android is now paying the price for his gluttony. Follow his footsteps, you must not.
BUUUUURRRP!!!
