Kanpai Japanese BBQ & Bar @Taman Connaught, Cheras

After my exam on Monday, Daryl suggested to visit the recently opened Japanese restaurant in our area, Kanpai Japanese BBQ & Bar. They were still having the opening promotion even though it has been opening for about a month. It is their second outlet after their first one in Sri Petaling which had quite a good response from the customers.

The restaurant ambiance is a casual Izakaya setting. It is a type of drinking establishment in Japan which also serves food to complement the drinks. It is a casual place for after-work drinking which is quite common in Japan. Kanpai serves not only Yakiniku (which means grilled meat dishes) and yakitori (skewered chicken), they also serve bento, curry rice, udon, ramen and nabe. 

Kyushu Ramen Pork Belly [RM15.80]
Tonkotsu (pork bone soup) ramen with Yakiniku Pork Belly
The price is quite pricey compared to Ton Chan, our all-time favorite Japanese Restaurant. However, they were very generous with the sesame and the yakiniku pork belly gave a slightly different texture to the ramen. The texture of the tamago was good.

Pork Cutlet Curry Rice a.k.a. Tonkatsu Curry Rice [RM13.90]
Breaded, deep fried pork cutlet with curry rice
This dish is pretty worth it as you can see, the generous amount of pork cutlet. Not forgetting the texture of the pork was very crunchy and crispy just as it should be.

Comments : The price for certain food is quite high. However, if you are a pork lover who likes deep fried pork, you should give the Pork Cutlet Curry Rice a try. However, the service here is disappointing. We had to wait for a few minutes before being led to the table when there were only 2 table of customers at that time. Thus, it is below expectation.
