I was so happy to spotted my favorite tonkatsu restaurant Saboten has opened a new branch in Tsim Sha Tsui, just when I was so hungry and craving for some good fried pork cutlet!The new shop of Saboten looks spacious and comfortable, especially with natural sunlight penetrating throught the side windows. As the shop manager told me, this new outlet has only opened for 4 days so there is not a queue yet like the sister shop in Causeway Bay. Luckily I didn't have to wait at all and got to enjoy my
The new shop of Saboten looks spacious and comfortable, especially with natural sunlight penetrating throught the side windows. As the shop manager told me, this new outlet has only opened for 4 days so there is not a queue yet like the sister shop in Causeway Bay. Luckily I didn't have to wait at all and got to enjoy my favorite dish immediately!
The pork mille-feuille is so good - so tender and juicy thanks to the 20 layers of pork that are folded together. The homemade citrus vinegar goes very well with the pork and helps to cut throught the oiliness. The whole combination is simply divine especially for one who loves fried food.
Apart from the plain Japanese cutlet, there is a favorite dish of mine which is served with in a sizzling pot of miso. It's a really hearty and satisfying dish and a great alternative to traditional fried pork cutlet.
Like most other tonkatsu restaurant, the vegetable salad and pickle can be unlimitedly refilled. The shredded cabbage is so fresh and crispy, and it goes very well with the sesame sauce.
The dessert is a pretty straight forward combination of green tea ice cream with red bean paste and mochi. Simple but tasty - very smooth ice cream with some mildly sweet red bean.
Lunch sets are available from the price of $88 to $125, which also include unlimited refill of cabbage salad, pickles and rice. The food portion is so generous given this very reasonable price.Speaking of tonkatsu, there are a few specialty brands available in HK but not all of them are authentic. The Causeway Bay shop of Saboten has been my favorite choice for Japanese pork cutlet in the last two years because of its very consistent food quality, and I'm so glad to know they finally have a second outlet, which is so conveniently located near the MTR exit in TST. I must come back for it esp with the great value combo set!
题外话/补充资料：
The staff is very friendly and eager to help refilling the side salad, soup and rice, so don't be shy and ask for more!
