1.5 munchies: Tonkichi may be my go-to place for crispy and crunchy panko used in its freshly-made tonkatsu, but I'm not at all thrilled by the special delivery menu offerings inspired by local favourites. The Chilli Crab Sauce Katsu Don featured here failed to pay homage to one of Singapore’s greatest culinary inventions. No crabs were used to infuse the thick, eggy and spicy sauce, which explains why there were hardly any sweetness and wok hei flavours. This is exactly why I'm usually sceptical about fusion food.

The special menu is exclusively available through Tonkichi's delivery partners – foodpanda and honestbee. It will also be soon made available on uberEATS. I say just dine in at Tonkichi for its foolproof original tonkatsu.

This was a hosted meal by Tonkichi; many thanks to YCP Dining for the warm hospitality and invitation!
