Tonkatsu by Ma Maison at Mandarin Gallery has the BEST tonkatsu in Singapore – so says all my friends. But really, I never really liked eating so much deep fried stuff so I didn’t bother checking this place till recently when the BF wanted to try it out.
I’ve always been going to Tonkichi for my Tonkatsu fixes – which I still think is as good as Ma Maison.So here’s my experience at Ma Maison.
Ma Masion, the Japanese-French style restaurant in Mandarin Gallery, specialises in Japanese pork cutlets. So it is pork cutlets that the BF and I shall try!
Negi Miso Rosu Katsu set seen above! It was deep fried to a crispy crunchy exterior, and the pork was soft and juicy on the inside.
Each set comes with unlimited servings of rice, thinly shredded cabbage and miso soup. I chose to have multigrain rice which is really nice and so much healthier! I could come back just for this! LOL. I also have to say that the miso soup here is really very very good. It was hot, and very tasty. Didn’t taste at all MSG-ladden! Save space for miso!
I heard that the Hungarian Mangalica Rosu Katsu ($31.80) is very very good and a must-try. I didn’t try that this trip around. Maybe next time!
Gokujo “Iberico Porl” Ippon Hire Katsu Set – $35.80
(Deep fried “Iberico” Pork Fillet)
I am not 100% sure I would go back again cos it’s like $90 for 2 persons – only ordered 2 sets and 1 beer. Besides the very nice miso soup and multigrain rice option, I find Tonkichi just as good!
Tip! Please go early! Long queues are always expected!
