It's been raining for a week now and I forgot to post my visit to the new katsu craze in the metro. Been seeing alot of good reviews about them and I wanna share the experience we got after we tried it for ourselves.
Kimukatsu got an offer with Deal Grocer for 500php worth of voucher for just 300php (not bad) So I decided to buy 2 vouchers -- for me and my food buddy (of course I let him pay half of it -- haha). We met up in Shangri la for lunch but curse traffic cause my friend came late haha. Good thing though, the wait made me hungry so I was ready for the food fight.
Originated in Japan, what sets Kimukatsu aside from other restaurants that offers katsu is their 25 Layers of Mille-Feuille Katsu. Yes, it is prepared in a different way and they made variations with the usual tonkatsu.
While I was waiting for Tony, I decided to check out their menu; even ordered edamame -- my favorite appetizer just to kill time. They offer 7 different flavors of katsu which was unique most especially if you get tired of the traditional or you just want to venture on new tastes.
They offer Plain, Cheese, Negi Shio (spring onion), Yuzu Kosho (yuzu fruits and green bell pepper), Ume Shisho (Japanese sour plum shiso leaf ), Garlic and Black pepper. Set meals starts at 390php including unlimited rice, red or white miso soup, cabbage and Japanese pickles.
We ordered cheese and black pepper since it was highly recommended by reviewers. I'm planning to order their kurobuta but skipped on that idea since I really want to taste their flavored katsu
Cheese Tonkatsu (390php)
No wonder its one of the best seller. The cheese compliments the katsudon making it moist and flavorful.
Black Pepper Tonkatsu (390php)
Great flavor. Tony ordered this and he said that its a little bit dry (which I agree - tasted it) but it was good. Though he still prefer the cheese katsudon that I ordered haha.
We also had white and red miso soup. My buddy said that the red miso was roasted compared to white miso that tasted mild and delicate. I'm was planning to ask for more but I'm full from eating all of the unlimited rice and cabbage.
Like other katsu house, they also got their condiments and black sesame seed for the tonkatsu sauce.
I'm looking forward to visit them again. Maybe I can tag along some friends so we can order all 7 flavors that they offer. Not a bad idea right?
We had our dessert on a different store. It deserves its own article that's why I'm not including it here. Thanks to my food buddy for taking the photos for me (well he always criticizes whenever I take photos using my iphone. haha well I can't contest my phone over his Sony Z1 - its reso is wayyy better than mine so I leave him with his photography skills)
