Saboten is one of my favourite restaurant in Singapore. It is a tonkatsu chain resturant from Japan and you can in fact find their outlets in airport at different countries.
This is a must try if you don't mind all the fried food they have. In fact, they only have fried main courses... Totally suit my tastebuds, well I am a fast food lover too. What can you expect... Hehe... But this doesn't mean I have poor taste in food. :p
This is the Saboten Special Set (S$25).
If this is your first trip to the restaurant and you really can't make up your mind on what to order since all the items look so similar, give this a try. It consists of a breaded shrimp, a mini pork tenderloin, a half-sized pork loin and a crab cream croquette. The meal comes with refillable rice, miso soup and lettuce.
The meal is actually very filling, especially for a gal. It is perfect for two to share in my opinion. You can order a refillable rice, miso soup and lettuce for S$6. A bit expensive but definitely worth the price. I always order a refill of the miso soup whenever I am there. This is like one of the best I have tasted in my life. Not that I have tasted a lot since I am not a great fan of miso soup but trust me, this is really nice. There is this sesame sauce for the lettuce. A perfect pair in hand. Not to be miss.
The tonkatsu comes with a special tonkatsu sauce made from scratch using onions, tomatoes, apples and carrots together with over 10 different spices. You will need to grind the sesame into fine powder and mix with the sauce. The tonkatsu itself is quite bland so you will definitely need to dip them in the sauce. If you do not like the sauce, I guess you may have to settle with chilli sauce then.
Finally, down to the main item of the main. The tonkatsu is not over fried. Crispy and tender and it doesn't taste too oily. Well, eat it while it's hot. I can't promise it won't taste oily if you leave it there for too long. Personally, my favourite is the shrimp. Pork is a bit tough for my teeth. I am an old girl so I prefer chicken over pork. They sell chicken too. Crab cream croquette is not something I will re-order again. I don't like my food in cream form. I know I am a hard girl to please when it comes to food. Not too tough and not too soft.
Lettuce
Potato salad.
Some of the meals will come with this salad. It's yummy and really quite small. Hehe...
Below are photos of some of the other food that I have ordered. Can't really rememer the details and price so we just have to settle with photos only.
Last but not the least. A scope of green tea ice cream for dessert.
