I am a fan of pork, i love them in any form other than raw :) If prepared correctly, they have nice meaty flavour and excellent texture.
In Singapore, there are many specialization shops. Like Burgers, Ramens, Pizzas... For my Pork Katsu carvings, only one place in Singapore can satisfy it....
Welcome to Tonkichi. Very simple menu, not much of a selection. I remember the first time i tried it was in Taipei (Conveniently named Tonkatus) when i was traveling with my sister. It left a deep impression not only because of the food, the way we make our own sesame sauce was pretty fun. It was an aromatic therapy for diners before meal.
The tools to make your own Simple sauce.
First you grind some roasted sesame seeds. How fine is up to you but i love to keep going because the aroma of the sesame is so fragrant due to the release of its oleoresin. 
After you are done with the sesame, take a break, sip some tea :)
Add in the sauce on the table and give it a good mix. It is slightly sweet with some savory and acidic note, most importantly taste really good with the pork.
A Tonkichi set for 3 pax. Rice, Veg and soup should be free flow...
What I love about the pork katsu here is the way they prepare it till it is crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside. However the one I had in Taipei was much better probably due to the fact the pork variety is different. Some how the pork in Taiwan taste better!This is the closest you can get to a good pork katsu. Any better you have to order the Korobuta pork katsu. I'm sure it will taste better, with a premium of course ;)
