Torafuku (West LA)

Food 11: West LA

From the day before our all-vegetarian weekend started. Back to that expensive place (for lunch) even though I said unlikely ^^;; I never like cutlet but I just wanted to try since there isn't much choice in their menu (either grilled beef, chicken, fish or cutlet). It was...alright. I also found out that their rice is supposedly special (Komada rice?) but I can't tell much differences. It was cooked a bit more 'raw/hard' for my fast eating lazy-to-chew habit. It became easier to eat after we discovered a well-hidden can of furikake on the table. ^^;;

What? Tonkatsu would be the LAST thing I would want to eat if I go to Aoyama since there are so many trendy places to choose from! ^^;;

Too right~~ Though I'm still trying to figure out what so "good" about pork cutlet ^^:; I want to be convined that it could be really really good (I mean, some Japanese restaurants do have it as their signature dish like expensive tempura or something).

yeah I don't think you have much 'cutlet' yet haha~~

Yeah, I am not a big fan of pork cutlet too. Hmm...if my memory is not failing me, I think I don't even have one entry of pork cutlet in my blog so far...there is not point eating such high calorie food if you don't even crave for it, right? ^^;;
