OJT EATS | Takeout Curry Shop
A short one this week. Having had Tong An Curry a little while ago (read about our trip here), we were recommended another curry house in Taipei: Takeout Curry Shop. With the surprisingly cold winterish weather in Taiwan, we find ourselves in the mood for a nice warming curry more often than expected so the next time the craving hit, we headed down.
This was the pork cutlet curry. The curry sauce was pretty dark which immediately gave the impression that it would be quite rich in flavour. That impression turned out to be bang on. The cutlet was so crispy and the egg was just how I liked it, barely cooked. It’s hard to compare this to Tong’an as they were both great but in very different ways. I feel like at Tong’an, it’s all about the curry sauce while here, for me at least, the star of the show was the cutlet.
The other dish we ordered was this omelette rice curry with a hamburger steak and cheese. As you can see, the cheese had a good char to it while the egg was silky smooth. The burger was also packed full of beefy flavour and went perfectly with the rich, slightly spicy curry. The little bits of tempura that came with it provided a great little crunch to the whole thing as well.
You might get some unexpected company here as the restaurant has cats. This little guy was just chilling on one of the seats when we got there.
All in all, we had a great meal here. The curry sauce was pretty delicious but for me, it was all the other things such as the tonkatsu and the hamburger steak that made it for me. Definitely would come back here for more!
