Tonkatsu by Terazawa's Mixed Katsu offers foodies and Japanese food lovers alike with a taste of prawn, pork and fish katsu in one satisfying meal.
Like a katsu sampler, this meal gives the customer an opportunity to taste shrimp, pork and fish at the same time without the inconvenience of ordering three separate meals. Matched with unlimited rice, cabbage and miso soup, the Mixed Katsu set gives one the best value for money.
The prawn katsu is a sumptuous serving of succulent, deep-fried breaded shrimp that actually gives you more shrimp than breading. The pork katsu gives a taste of the classic tonkatsu which the restaurant is known for. The fish katsu, meanwhile, is a tasty treat that's packed with flavor. The crumbs used are not too fine nor too flaky- just the right texture that gives the fried goodies the right amount of crisp.
A helping of cabbage in between bites complements well with the main dish, which also comes with its own dip. The entire dining experience- from the food to the setting- gives one a slice of Japanese life in Manila. Fans of katsu should definitely put Tonkatsu by Terazawa in their must-try list if they haven't yet.
