We settled at Saboten for dinner after we touched down the flight. Initially we wanted to have Astons for dinner but there was a queue and we decided not to wait anymore as our stomach is growling. The restaurant is not filled up and the seats are available.The staff leads us to our seats with the menu served to us immediately. This is my second visit to the restaurant and the first visit was last year for breakfast brunch.Here are the orders that we made on that day:-As usual practice, we had j
Here are the orders that we made on that day:-
As usual practice, we had japanese hot green tea to pair with japanese cuisine. It is a well combination. There is no charges for japanese green tea.
All set meals come with free side dish and the cabbage are unlimited.Slices of fresh cabbage was served and it tasted really good with the sauce. Cabbages were shredded to such a delicate thinness is perfect to soak with ponzu vinaigrette.
Every place setting includes a mortar and pestle filled with black and white sesame seeds. Grinding the sesame into a fine powder with self-added serving portion of tonkatsu sauce gives the customers to be interactive with their foods.Salmon Katsu set @S$20.00. Salmon katsu taste crunchier and smooth in the inside. The set is quite filling with the portion served. Surprisingly the salmon texture isn't dry at all.
Ebi Katsu Tenderloin @ S$26.00. Deep-fried breaded prawn taste like usual tempura. The difference is the outer is more crunchier to bite. The overall set is quite filling with the combination of the tenderloin meat is served in the set.
Tenderloin Katsu set @S$22.00. The pork cutlet is served with golden fried crisp. It's crispy on the outside and moist on the inside. It was fried with minimal grease oil and I don't really feel guilty to have it. I also enjoyed the crunchy panko breading on the outside. The tenderloin meat wasn't too dry at all. Dip it with the tonkatsu sauce gives me the sweetness taste of the meat.
All sets comes with a scoop of green tea ice-cream to end the dinner.Total bill S$109.45 inclusive of 10% service charge and 7% GST. Dinning experience was pleasant. The set comes with unlimited Japanese rice. Justin and YL had second round for it. I personally think it is quite a bargain though. The staffs are quite attentive to the customers' needs. They refill our green tea promptly and the serving timing is within 20 minutes. I would say the overall standard of the food quality is good. If I craved for tonkatsu foods, I will consider to pay a visit here.
