Tonkatsu

located at the 6th floor of Pavilion, replacing Caffe Vino or even the pervious ones, Italian on Sixth

i remember joking with a friend saying this particular shop must have bad feng shui where by the restaurant don't last very long

but i do hope this particular one last long, as i enjoy the 'mum mum' here

most Japanese restaurant here shares practically the same concept, wide array of sashimi, sushi, noodles, teriyaki, shabu shabu, yakitori..all under one roof except for a few; Ri-yakitori specializing in of course yakitori, the talk of town now, Santouku Ramen and etc etc. but Tonkatsu by Wa kitchen being the first in the Klang Valley specializing in tonkatsu (pork cutlet) brings smiles to lotsa ppl. and i'm proud to being one of them

the basic serving of tonkatsu, would be a nicely breaded pork cutlet deep fried till perfection, slice into bite-size serve with generous amount of shredded cabbage, miso soup and their signature sauce

here, customers are encouraged to grind their own sesame seed, and adding the Tonkatsu sauce to it. the aroma of roasted sesame seed was a perfect pairing to the thick Tonkatsu sauce. 

during my first visit, they had a bottle of pinkish red dressing for the shredded cabbage which we suspected was a ume dressing due the sourness and the slight saltiness of it..love it very much but during the second visit, oops...gone liau wor..it was just a typical normal dressing..aiks..

i had a set which is a combination of pork fillet (hire katsu) & pork loin (rose katsu). both were equally good, love the breading, as least its not those typical thick breading, crispy crispy but still juicy inside, rosy pink porky porky. and its not oily wer....a bowl of rice, a bowl of soup, shredded cabage, what a meal huh!!! i love their miso soup, a lot of condiments insides and they have this sort of jelly like thing, something similar to the texture of konyaku.

the silky smooth tofu that came along with  the set

we had the kaki furai, plump juicy oyster coated with crispy breading once again

dip dip and slurp, there goes the oyster

if you are not a fan of porky, there is also ebi furai and chicken cutlet. erm, both taste basically alright but i still prefered my porky cutlet..that's why the place is called Tonkatsu right??

and lastly, the food crime partner wanted to try their yakitori, the salted pork belly and leek yakitori, erm basically its nothing to shout for, it wasn't really that yummy.but still acceptable, i guess after having those dishes above, the yakitori were just overshadowed by them. muahaha

do hope this place last for a while to satisfy my anytime craving
