I’ve always associated Don Don Donki with overpriced sweet potatoes for some odd reason, so it’s certainly nice to discover that Don Don Donki at Clarke Quay Central has a foodcourt dishing out delish Japanese eats. One of the stalls slinging out sumptuous sustenance is Shiroi Tonkatsu by Nikukappo, and this is their proud little creation.

This Yume no Shiroi Tonkatsu ($22.80 nett) set sees a hundred & twenty grams of pork loin and sixty grams of tenderloin battered in a pleasant panko breadcrumb before being deep fried to a light golden brown. Despite being deep fried and being lean cuts of pork, the Tonkatsu was acceptably juicy & tender.

As with many other tonkatsu out there, it’s very lightly seasoned, instead allowing you to decide the flavour either by sprinkling on some salt, or by dipping it in a DIY tonkatsu sauce, complete with freshly ground (by you) sesame seeds.

At $22.80, it’s not the most value for money, but it’s a relatively decent option for an urgent tonkatsu fix that needs to be satiated.
