Saboten (Millenia Walk)

The matcha ice cream served at the end of the meal was delightful, especially when served in an icy cold frosty bowl.

Saboten Twin Special Set ($52) offers great value for two people who want to try a variety! The platter consists of a piece of Pork Loin (M)(100g) Katsu, 2 pieces of Fried Shrimp, 2 pieces of Crab Cream Croquette, 1 piece of Cheese Tenderloin, Chilled Cabbge, Lemon Wedge, Tartar sauce and 2 Radish Ponzu Dipping sauces. The set also includes a pair of katsu sets, each consisting of 100% Uonuma Koshihikari Rice, Miso Soup, Chawanmushi, Chilled Cabbage, Sesame, Pickles, and Ice Cream. Plus, there are free refills for rice, miso soup, and cabbage.

Pork loin was overall juicy, tender, not too oily, had a thick layer of white fats, and had a nice crispy breaded crumb exterior. However, the most inner core may be a tad dry and aged. But when eaten with the savoury umami homemade tonkatsu sauce, it's pure ecstasy. If tonkatsu sauce is not your favourite, there is still tartar sauce and radish ponzu dipping. Crab cream croquette was creamy and piping hot, exploding with flavour when you bite into it. Fried shrimp were long and tastisfyingly crunchy, with clean-tasting oil that enhances the flavour. Cheese tenderloin stood out the most, oozing with a great cheesy pull. Its soft, chewy yet creamy texture is simply awesome.

Shredded cabbage was fresh and evenly shredded, perfect to pair with goma dressing. Chawanmushi was smooth, wobbly, and packed with umami flavour. Miso soup was hearty and savoury. The matcha ice cream served at the end of the meal was delightful, especially when served in an icy cold frosty bowl.

Iced Green Tea ($2.20) is refillable. If you're dining alone, consider getting their Loin Katsu Set (Medium) for $23, which includes a piece of pork loin katsu along with the katsu set for a fulfilling meal.

You can always count on @sabotensg for good tonkatsu 😋 I especially liked the cheese filled ones, if only they had a set with all cheese instead of half half!

Under gozen set meal, dessert (ice cream) can be extra change (80 cents) such as yuzu, chocolate and vanilla 😅

Loin Katsu (Pork) Gozen (L Size) ($25.50) (150g)

I didn't expected that their L Size could be shared with people for 3 Pax. But the outer skin's breadcrumbs on their Loin Katsu were quite crunchy and crispy when you bite on first tries. It usually makes people want more & more if their breadcrumbs on the outer skin are up to the standard. Their Loin Katsu (4/5) were quite not hard and chewy texture(just nice) include their fat attached on the Loin (I seldom saw that) but they overcooked the meat, then it turned hard and hard to chew.
