Recipe: Tonkatsu

Basic Tonkatsu Recipe

super easy tonkatsu recipe. I just used the Bull-dog instant tonkatsu sauce for dip. I boiled the pork first but normally you could skip this. I just thought of incorporating the Filipino way of cooking Lechon Kawali :) Pair this with basic cabbage salad

Ingredients:

4 pork chops (in my case I used pork steaks..I like the fat thin and distributed ^.^)

salt

pepper

flour

1 beaten egg

bread crumbs

cooking oil

cabbage

mayonnaise (preferably Kewpie brand)

ketchup

Directions:

beat pork with a meat tenderizer (or the back of the knife will do)

boil pork on a pot until tender

drain water and let the pork cool down

season pork with salt and pepper

coat in flour, then egg, then bread crumbs.

fry until brown

-- for the cabbage salad --

chop cabbage finely

make salad dressing by combining equal amounts of mayonnaise and ketchup then season with salt and pepper

Shinjuku Ramen House

I love Japan! I've never been there but definitely I will! And when I'm there I'll definitely won't miss walking around Shinjuku...

BUT...for now this post will be about Shinjuku here in the Manila....Shinjuku the restaurant ^_^

Manten Ramen (Small) - Php310

This is like eaten almost halfway already before we took the picture so it doesn't look appetizing but trust me it's sooo delish!

4pcs Tempura - Php340

Mix Tepanyaki - Php465

This is my fave among the bunch! super yummeh! seafood is well cooked yet tender. Excellent.

Overall I love love Shinjuku. The place looks terrific. I visited the one in Makati and even the restroom is great. Has bidet cause you'll never know..you try to be adventurous only to find out something you tried is not in real good terms with your stomach..lols. I will definitely come back to try out some of my all time fave Japanese dishes like Sukiyaki and Curry. Oh just thinking about it excites my tastebuds hehe.

I tried looking for a website or facebook page but it seems like they don't have one. I'm kind of lazy to google every location but I know they have 2 in Makati (Chino Roces & Makati Ave) and a friend said they also have one in West Ave.
