Food Review: Monster Curry

Roaming around Ion and we didn't have any idea where to nom dinner.
Bimb suggested Monster Curry, so okay! Since we haven't tried it before.

Rice is always an okay. 
Actually usually everything is an okay to this glutton.


Outlets at Tampines One, Parkway Parade, Ion, Jurong Point, Nex, Vivo City and Somerset 313

Here's their menu!


According to their website:

"Monster Curry’s sauce contains up to 14 different spices and vegetables, 
and requires up to two days to cook so as to bring out the “Umami” to its fullest.

Bravely calling it gourmet curry for the man-hours and skill required, 
the sauce is cooked closed to boiling point for six hours at each time on an open fire for a total of two days. 
It is then let to rest for another day for the acidity of the sauce to evaporate, 
so as to produce a curry sauce that is smooth, balanced and full-bodied. 

The end result is an unusual combination of bitter and salty tastes, 
and when paired with generous succulent cuts of golden-fried pork, chicken or beef, 
makes it almost addictive, as it is scrumptious.

Monster Curry is the only Japanese restaurant in Singapore to serve a “demi-glace” curry sauce, marked by a rich and deeply flavourful brown sauce."

So, painstakingly prepared japanese curry for budget-friendly price, bring it on.

Taadaa our orders!
The plates are huge, but honestly the serving is normal sized.

See the squiggles of hot sauce on the curry? 
You get to choose the flame levels of the curry, so 1 squiggle is 1 level I guess.


Cheese Chicken Katsu Curry - $14
Guess who has to eat the chicken katsu. Hahahaha

They serve pretty decent katsu - not too densely battered, juicy and not dry at all.
However, the shredded cheese is simply scattered on the hot katsu, 
and not like a melted cheese sauce as seen on the menu photo.


Pork Shabu - Shabu Omelet Curry - $14
Bimb's.


Cheese Omelet Curry - $12
Mine!

At least this was legit melted cheese.
Omelet is not as fluffy as I would have liked; actually it's almost like Bimb's omelet above, 
just with loads of mozzarella dumped on top.

The curry sauce itself was spicy and rich - I chose 1 flame for my first try.
Usually for first tries I wanna get as original taste as I can get.
Can't tell if it has been really cooked for as long as they say, but definitely not your instant jap curry paste taste.


For its taste and serving size, Monster Curry is definitely worth its price.
Guess we found another dining budget option at the Orchard area. :D
