Shin Katsu – Tanjong Pagar’s go-to for Japanese Tonkatsu

Share

Fair warning: once you try Shin Katsu, regular cutlets just won’t hit the same. We had lunch at Shin Katsu for a bite of Japanese premium Tonkatsu, and we’re already scheduling our next lunch date here!

Why settle for one cut of meat when you can have it all? The Gensen Set (S$38) and Gokusen Set (S$48) are built for those who love an assortment of premium cuts in every bite. To elevate the experience, we added an S$18 sake pairing to both sets because great cuts deserve good company. 

The first course of each set comes with its seasonal appetiserCold Japanese Tofu with special sauce (S$4.80), Potato Salad (S$6.30), and Truffle Edamame. The second course would be a curated selection of 5 pork cutlets, with a crispy exterior while retaining their tenderness. The third course was surprisingly our top pick! Serving up mini curry rice with Wagyu beef minced cutlet – umami and unbelievably rich. The curry was so fragrant and flavourful we’re already planning to run it back with a Katsu Curry Set (from S$24.80) next time! The fourth course was Matcha ice cream to end the meal. Literally so good, no cap.

The Gensen Set takes you on a five-cut journey – from lean Canadian tenderloin to Hokkaido’s well-balanced Sangenton, ending on the richly marbled Spanish Iberico loin. A perfect intro to Shin Katsu’s world of pork.

The Gokusen Set goes bigger with U.S., Hungarian, Spanish, and Hokkaido pork. A true world tour of pork on one plate – from lean U.S. and Hokkaido tenderloins to the richly marbled Spanish Iberico and the legendary Hungarian Mangalica. Five cuts, five origins, one unforgettable tasting experience. 

Happy Hour & Sando

Who knew beer and sando were the ultimate power couple? Indulge in their rich, savoury Rosu Katsu Sando (S$12) or Hire Katsu Sando (S$13), and sip a cold, crisp beer – together they hit every note of a snack combination. Bring your drinking buddy along because Beer o’Clock runs from 5pm to 6pm. Enjoy Sapporo Beer every Monday to Thursday when you order 3 bottles of beer for S$33 and get 2 free bottles!
