I love the not-too-overloaded sweetness in the Japanese curry with appropriate level of spiciness.
Do you know the Japanese use apple paste in their Japanese curry?
That is why Japanese curry tastes lighter but not too bulky like other types of curry in Malaysia.
I was invited to the grand launch of Coco ICHIBANYA, 1Utama along with other MHB members and the founder.
I was among the first few to try their Japanese curry rice.
This is a very new concept in Malaysia to have an outlet specially for Japanese curry rice.
Guess what? Quite a number of people don't know about Japanese curry.
I saw their puzzled looks when I mentioned "Japanese curry".MHB members - Yours truly, Kate Lee, Kelly Siew, Sharon Loh, Stephanie Lim.Supermodel Amber Chia. TV Host Gary Yap, Orange Ning and Julie Woon.
tastiness you can choose” where you get to customise your meal based on
your preference and appetite – from the spiciness level of the curry, to
the various toppings, and even the amount of rice. There are 7
different levels of spiciness for the curry, starting from mild for
kids, the signature original flavour, and from level one’s medium hot to
level five’s “crazy hot”.
There is a selection of over 30 meat and
seafood varieties to choose from including chicken, beef, pork, prawns,
clams and more, and some are paired with toppings such as egg, corn and
croquettes. If you’d like more toppings just add-on what you want or if
you want more/ less rice, simply order the amount that is right for
you.
On the menu are also some fusion items
like spaghetti with curry meat sauce, curry gratin and curry pilaf,
while for those who don’t eat spicy food there are also non-spicy
options such as seafood spaghetti with cream, creamy corn soup and
salads. Have some juices, coffee, teas, soft drinks, floats, milkshakes
or even beer to go along with your meal and have a sweet ending with
some Matcha or vanilla ice cream!

Some of their signature dishes:
The spiciness of level 3 does not overwhelm the aroma and taste of the Japanese curry gravy. For people who love to challenge the maximum spiciness can go for level 5.
For people who can't take spicy food, you may stick to standard which is level 1 and enjoy the taste and aroma of Japanese curry.
The chicken cutlets were crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.
Perfectly accommodated the Japanese curry gravy.
Coco ICHIBANYA serves more than what I posted. For full menu, please click HERE!
