The parent company behind Seoul Noodle Shop recently opened an outlet of a very popular tonkatsu shop from Busan. What makes it different? Well, after deep frying the meat at two different temperatures and letting it rest, they then proceed to grill it on a charcoal grill. That imparted a mildly smoky aroma, which was nice, but the more notable thing was the texture: underneath that airy and crisp exterior was an incredibly moist and tender piece of meat inside, be it the rosu or hire. It was impressive, and arguably better than a number of high-end places, including ones in Japan. They have more premium Japanese pork upgrades available, but the cheap Australian pork was already good enough. Next time I just need to avoid the noon rush hour.
