I read about this restaurant on a blog recently and decided to go and try their "white tiger" (I.e. Curry udon). While the food certainly didn't disappoint, I was most impressed by the attentive service which enhanced the whole dining experience significantly. Our water glass was not left empty for more than a second without us asking and sharing plates were offered as soon as the first dish arrived. Very enjoyable meal.

What is Japanese curry to you? In fact I am not very familiar to it. I remembered having it the first time when I came to Hong Kong 5 years ago. It was a nice alternative for people who can't stand the spice of Indian Curry (well. like me) I remembered tasting it for the time i was so surprised that it was... NOT SPICY AT ALL. I felt I got tricked by the color lol. Though Japanese curry wasn't hot for my tastebuds, somehow i wasnt so fond of it. It was boring to me. A big piece of meat plus a f

lol. Though Japanese curry wasn't hot for my tastebuds, somehow i wasnt so fond of it. It was boring to me. A big piece of meat plus a full plate of sauce. In order to redeem my faith in japanese curry again, my colleague decided to bring me to try Tiger Curry.

Tiger curry building

I was impressed by the building that painted in black and grey strips that represented tiger. It added a subtle touch to the restaurant's speciality. Checking the menu outside, there was quite a bit of mix and match for customer to choose their curry rice. You can choose Tiger curry / Hayashi rice + degree of spiciness + topping + meat. All of the selections have their own price so it's rather flexible to choose.

We went inside and sat down. I did not smell any fried/oily smell like the other usual Japanese curry restaurants. As a girl, I am very particular with the ventilation system of the restaurant because I hate to come out of a restaurant and smelling like a one. Especially during winter time when you don't wash your coat everyday.. it is frustrating to get the oily smell on your coat. But Tiger curry did it well : ) It didn't have problems with that.
We ordered quite a few appetizers beside the main dish.

Salad:
1) Tiger salad $55 --------------------------(4/5)

With Romaine, tomato, corn, grilled chicken, onsen egg and curry ranch dressing. Wait curry ranch dressing on salad?? That's new! and it is surprisingly YUMMY!!! Forget about the thousand island sauce or ranch sauce. This is THE BOMB. Not only that, this came in amazingly HUGE portion (yes guys you will surely appreciate this) for just 55 dollars, what a good deal ;)
The grilled chicken was tender and nicely flavored with the curry sauce. Great start with this as the first dish!
Snacks:
1) Cripsy cheesy mochi $48---------------------5/5

Crispy cheesy mochi and japanese fried chicken

Honestly I was never a fan of cripsy cheesy mochi. I used to think that it is just a fried cheese. But then I realize that's coz i never tried a really good one.. not until I tried the one from Tiger Curry!!!! This cheesy mochi came it HOT. and the skin was lightly crisp unlike the ones you tried outside which felt like they've fried it over and over again.
When you cut the mochi in half...O-EM-GEE. The cheese poured out... all over. Just a wonderful scene. Please forgive me that I didn't take a photo of the flowy cheese for u

What about the taste?? FANTASTIC! It didnt taste as heavy as the parmesan but more of the japanese cheese cream. And it had a trace of sweetness as after taste. HEAVENLY... highly recommended!!

2) Japanese fried chicken $45------------------4/5
Cripsy, dried skin (which i likeee) and tender meat!! Slightly lack of taste.
3) Golden pork nuggets $ 50----------------------3/5
The pork nugget itselt was a lil dry for me, but it tasted better with the sauce. The "fried" skin was slightly too thick
4) Gyoza , fried dumplings $48----------------------5/5

Gyoza fried dumplings

Lovelovelove itttttt! Thinly crisp and yet wasn't soggy at all. The chef managed to fried it while keep the dumpling skin dried. The Special sour-soy sauce added a nice touch to the perfection of the dumplings ^^ i need to order more of this nex timeee!
5) Grilled sausage $48---------------------1/5

Grilled pork sausage

Perhaps sausages arent really my thing. I felt something was missing in this sausauge. It tasted rather plain. Perhaps im used to the western sausages that has more spice and flavor in them : \ but I like this sauce!I really do!! it's honey mustard+ curry : )

Main Dish
Tiger Curry Rice ($35) + Scrambled egg ($18) + Melted cheese ($12) + Golden Kurobuta Pork Chop ($60) ------------------5/5 ($125 total)

Goldeb Kurobuta pork chop tiger curry rice(non spicy) + scrambled egg+ cheese

Again, full plate of japanese curry sauce but the addition of scramble egg and melted cheese made it much more interesting!!!!

I picked the tiger curry with the original level of spice. It was tad bit of spicy but it greatly enhanced the curry flavor some something just plain salted to.. slightly spicy and sweet. I've never tasted such flavor before. This flavor isnt the ones you can taste from a chained restaurant. The sauce wasn't as thick, which i really appreciated. The scramble egg was smooth, juicy, and perfectly flavored. It was the first part that i tasted actually > < I tried it with and without dipping into the curry sauce and i loved both!!!!

The pork chop was great too! The cripsy skin wasnt too thick that covered that juiciness of the pork chop. Together with curry sauce, AND MELTED CHEESE and a lil bit of scramble egg all in one spoonful of happiness. Though this dish is definitely on the pricy side (normally japanese curry would cost only 60-80 dollars) but you get what you pay for!!This is definitely worth it. I dont' think I will not go anywhere else for japanese curry. This is it.
If you have a kid or friend who really can't take any spicy food AT ALL, there's also the option for Hayashi Rice, with tender beef slices braised in sweet and tomato sauce : )
Dessert

Seasalt and taro flavored icecream

1) Seasalt flavored icecream ---------------3.5/5
Amazed by this special variety of icecream! The last time I had seasalt flavored icecream was when I was in Okinawa. It definitely brought back the good memories of ocean and blue skies.

Loved the combi of vanilla and sea salt!! But I preferred it be thicker and more creamy.
2) Taro flavored icecream------------------2/5
This icecream may look like taro.. but it really tasted like sweet potato O.O ?? Perhaps there's a mistake on the menu? mm Not a fan of sweet potato but i know it is the hottest thg in the dessert industry of HK nowaday! Can give it a try : )
