i was enamoured with the tonkatsu ($23) ever since i first laid eyes upon it, and knew i had to have it. but it wasn’t the pork that caught my eye – it was the omelette. and it tasted every bit as heavenly as i had imaged, so delicately silky and creamy, forming a sheath to cover the fluffy grains of onion jam-infused rice. but of course, the tonkatsu itself was no slouch. slow-cooked for 2 hours before being carefully deep-fried in a batter that stayed crisp for the entire meal, the pork was tender, buttery, and rimmed with an indulgent layer of fat just below the crumbing. it was served with two dipping sauces on the side – a distinctly fruity apple mayo, and a surprisingly tangy sesame miso sauce that did wonders to balance out the richness of the meat. this was a monarch amongst pork cutlets.
