[CLOSED] Ho-Jiak

The chicken karaage was crispy and curry was pretty good. A little on the pricey side, but would come again for the curry!

Choose from 5 proteins - roasted chicken leg, pork shoulder shabu, beef knuckle shabu, chicken karaage and cold sesame tofu!
(You may choose 2 of the same protein too)

Choose up to 3 proteins @ $14.90. (ALL IN!)

The bowl came piping hot with steam (they prepare the food only upon ordering, that's why it took awhile to be served). I had the roasted chicken leg and pork shoulder shabu which were really tender and cooked to perfection, well-marinated. A ladle of curry sauce paired well with the don so your rice won't be dry and boring.

We also ordered the buffalo midwings ($10 for 10 pieces), taste was normal but cos we were famished so they disappeared in a few mins. We also had the curly curry bomb ($10) - just curly fries paired w curry sauce that came in a really big bowl, so it was very worth it for the big portion. Good for sharing! The menu stated that the fries came with bacon bits but there weren't any when it was served (disappointed though).

Prices are nett (no GST & service charge)!

Really worth it for the taste, portion, and that the food came piping hot!!

Oh and my friends ordered the unagi don ($16) which was really yummy and worth it too! Portion of the unagi was just right and not too stingy.

The level of awesome is too damn high @hojiak_sg. Apart from their chicken karaage which I loved, their meat bowl with shabu beef and pork is really delicious and worth it for only $14.90 in the CBD.

Head down to Fiji Xerox Towers to try @hojiak_sg's awesome chicken karaage Japanese curry rice ($8.90). So worth it for such a big portion. Full review up on www.foodievstheworld.com now!

Not the most presentable chicken leg but omg so well-prepared — tender and juicy on the inside, with a nicely crisp chicken skin on the outside 😍 Can't compare the Japanese curry used here to Coco Ichibanya (still the best 👍🏻) but this is better than most places — luscious and soaks right into the fluffy Japanese rice. For $7.90 NETT with no service charge or GST, this is surely value-for-money in the CBD. #Burpproved
