Japanese Curry Categorical will quickly be part of the sadly ever-expanding checklist of defunct reasonably priced eateries. The famend diner on the third flooring of Fortune Centre will stop operations on 12 Aug 2023.

Regardless of the title of their enterprise, Japanese Curry Categorical is extensively recognized for serving up thick slabs of Salmon Sashimi (5 pcs for S$16), in distinction to the thinner cuts usually served elsewhere. Their beneficiant parts draw huge crowds throughout lunch hour so queues are fairly widespread.

Nonetheless, loyal prospects don’t have any energy over surging lease prices, and it’s because of this that the Japanese joint has introduced its closure.

Curiously, their Ebi Mango Maki (S$13) has remained a well-liked dish. The rice comes wrapped in nori with fried ebi on the centre, topped off by a small slice of mango garnished with tobiko and a drizzle of Japanese mayonnaise. A fast flick thru Japanese Curry Categorical’s opinions paints it as a crowd favorite, with many complimenting the delectable mixture.

Sadly, whereas the much less widespread Tako Karaage (S$7.50) has all of the hallmarks to present you a sinfully good time, it’s held again by portion dimension. Fortunately, you may make that up with their Pork Katsu Curry Rice (S$8.50). The katsu comes with a full plate of thick, pleasantly spiced curry and a small serving to of pickles for a palate cleanser. The restaurant additionally serves Chawanmushi (S$13) as a essential dish. Sounds extra like a meals problem to me!
