Yabu

Curry is definitely making alot of buzz lately, with the advent of Katsu houses. I first tried Katsu Curry in Ryuma Ramen and I instantly fell in love with the dish :) One of the most recent additions, and closer to home, is YABU in Megamall. The place is usually jampacked and you have to wait a while to get a table. Fortunately for me, at the times I visited there was always one available :)

I tried their Katsu Curry and the Pork Katsudon on separate occasions. It's funny, I visited the restaurant twice, and only about 2 weeks apart, but by my second visit, prices has gone up about 10%! Something must've gone haywire in their initial calculations.

Honestly, I find Yabu's prices a bit high. If it wasn't for the unlimited veggies (read: shredded cabbage) and their sesame dressing, I probably wouldn't be all excited to go back. But I do have to give them credit for the big serving. And I'm really glad they have unlimited cabbage, instead of unlimited rice.

The Katsu Curry was HUGE, and the curry itself tasted good. Just the right amount of spice :) And went really well with the cabbage. But I still love Ryuma Ramen's curry, which was more thick and flavorful. The Katsudon was pretty normal, but was okay. Both 'meals' come with Miso Soup, unlimited cabbage, rice, and fruits. The fruits (pineapple and watermelon) is also a good addition, and nicely seals the meal. House tea is really good too :) All in all, Yabu is a good dining experience.
