Relocated to #01-23/24, Liang Court (formerly #B1-50) in April 2008, Tampopo has expanded and found itself a more spacious dwelling within the vicinity.
Completed with sleek modern furnishing with conventional wooden blinds on the sides of the restaurant (that faces the shopping centre), one will be able to find authentic Japanese cuisine such as their award winning Shabu Shabu Ramen, using Kyushu Ramen, and matched with pork bone soup, cooked for 2 days in Tampopo.
However, my purpose that evening was to sample their renowned Top Grade Loin Cutlet ($21.80) that only can be achieved using, what else but the Kurobuta Pork, that is acknowledged for their superb meat marbling (think Wagyu for beef). Even the exclamation of “Oiishi!” wasn’t lavish enough to shower what I deemed to be the perfect pork cutlet in town.
Freshly fried, the light breaded crust was crispy on the outside, yet tender, succulent and a tint of sweetness on the inside – definitely no sign of those dry, overcooked meat you get from elsewhere. A wrench of the lemon and a dip of Hot English Mustard on the cutlet, also seeks to bring out another tantalising sensation to one’s penchant.
For an additional of $4, one can also choose to upgrade to a set that comes with Rice, Pickles, Tomato and Lettuce Salad, Miso Soup and Watermelon to finish off.
