Konnichiwa!

Haha, Sandra should be on her plane to The Land Of The Rising Sun by now. Went out with her yesterday (Friday). Checked out Curry Favor at Stamford House.

Their Japanese curry was superb. Mei and I had chicken katsu curry. Came with miso soup, soda and ice cream. Heheh. Not too bad. Quite good actually. Generous helping, quite worth the moolah if you ask me. Helps a lot that the stuff was real friendly and not at all intimidating. Hahha.

The curry was… made without any coconut. The aroma and taste comes from the different kind of spice they use. Not spicy (at least to me, mei found it a bit spicy) with a tinge of sweetness. Was rather thick and creamy. The curry came separately in an Aladdin’s lamp-like container. Looks really cute. Then you pour the amount you want over the chicken cutlet. So it doesn’t turn too soggy too quick. Smart eh?

The place looks cool too. Baoz will love it. Red walls. And the red they used. It’s layered and very raw. Very nice. And there’s this part of the wall that is rougher than other. Deliberately made so I think. It’s like… it had raw plaster dripping down. They colored it white. Complements the entire maroon wall excellently. Bring quite some life to the huge tall wall. The place has a high ceiling. So the white patch breaks the monotony of the huge wall.

The restaurant has a sister restaurant right next door, can’t remember it’s name though. Moonlight Café I think. Sells American fare. Rotisserie chicken, mud pie, etc etc. you can play board games there too. Plus there are also reading materials for your browsing. Really cozy place. One huge plus point! The café plays jazz and blues. Quite rare to find a coffee place that plays such lovely music nowadays. (To think I was complaining to Sheila abt that just a few days ago….) but they dun have nice huge sofa and cushions for one to loll around in. Instead; they have weird HARD looking, bright yellow chairs. Hmmm, shall update you guys once I’ve tried out their coffee.

The place is definitely worth a revisit.
