Eating out for under RM30: Shokudo Japanese Curry Rice

This Japanese curry rice is mild but flavourful.

Being a South-east Asian country, we naturally take great pride in our curries – we're protective even. We feel that our palates are skilled detectors of what constitutes a good spicy dish and we are naturally dismissive of food items that don't conform to our standards.

Admittedly, I was a little apprehensive too when I went to Shokudo Japanese Curry Rice restaurant. I didn't have high  expectations, having sampled Japanese curry before without much of a memorable experience.
