What’s new in the food scene?

Singapore’s first yuzu pork tonkatsu restaurant has opened at VivoCity (#B2-27/27A, Tel:  6264-8633). 

Tonkatsu ENbiton uses the meat of pigs from Kagoshima prefecture in Japan. These pigs are fed yuzu and have a higher melting point of fat. The meat is tender but with that fatty juicy feel. 

For the katsu sets, the pork comes in cuts such as rosu katsu (loin) and hire katsu (fillet), and set-meal prices start from $22. 

Each set consists of Japanese rice, cabbage and arugula, tsukemono (pickles), and tonjiru (pork and vegetable miso soup). 

New menu at burgs

Burgs has revamped its menu, with new flavours and the prices start from $4.80.

For those who prefer a set, pay $2 more for the Burgs new Burger Box. 

New flavours include Mushroom Beef Burger ($5.80), Tangy Chicken Burger ($4.80, with a chicken patty layered with verde mayo), and the meatless Burgs Tempeh Burger (from $5.80, with sambal mayo).

To celebrate the debut of the new flavours, get six pieces of chicken nuggets free with your set meal, limited to 50 sets a day. This is available at all outlets till May 21.
