Yabu: The House of Katsu

WHY GO

The restaurant is a crowd favourite for its laidback and tummyfilling tonkatsu experience. Servings are generous and the quality is at par with international standards.

TATLER TIPS

Whether you like to enjoy it the traditional way (with its signature sesame dipping sauce and sidings) or with the special slow-cooked curry sauce made from 45 ingredients, the rosu kurobuta is the star here. The meat has just the right marbling and is covered with perfectly crisp golden brown panko. Pescetarians will enjoy the prawn and cream dory katsudon. Simmered with eggs in a sweet and savoury soy glaze, succulent cuts of seafood are served over Japanese rice. If you still have space (after the limitless refills of sidings), dig into the warm and molten lava cake with miso butterscotch served à la mode.
