Years ago, this spot (#01-09 Chijme, 30 Victoria Street, tel : +65 6338 5907) used to be Tonkatsu & Sake Bar Tonzaemon, also by Ma Maison. I remember them because they used to have fancy tonkatsu on the menu - like hire katsu stuffed with foie gras and rosu katsu in squid ink panko. I guess that concept didn't work out for long before it got converted to their Tonkatsu shop which I'm gathering has been pretty well received over the years.
We came here for their autumn-y shio konbu mushroom kurobuta rosu katu and chestnut mille feuille. Whaaaatt?!
Rosu's topped with mushrooms - possibly prepared with salted kelp (hence shio konbu) and layered over grated daikon that's on top of the fried pork. That chestnut mille feuille was stuffed with a chestnut. Not so much flavour coming from the chestnut which I had expected to be more fragrant or perhaps sweet. Still pretty good katsu though.
I can't help but wonder if their multi grained rice is in truly better than the regular white rice in any way.
