Eat of the Day - well, last weekend: Coco ichiban Curry house!

Last weekend (the weekend before Christmas), I went to Central Chaengwattana in BKK with my sister and a childhood friend of mine, and we decided to eat at the Coco Ichibanya Curry House :) It's been so long - probably a little over a year, since I've eaten here. So you can imagine my excitement hehe

It's a curry house where you can design what you want to eat, usually based on curry and rice. The cool thing is you can choose the amount of rice, the spiciness of the curry, and the toppings that go on top. For some dishes though - such as the ones with Omu (creamy fluffy omelette) - you can't change the amnts of rice or spiciness of the curry sauce. Which I don't really understand why. [if you can do it for everything else, why not these one? I get it if it's Hayashi rice or stew. But aren't you still using the same curry base as the regular dishes?]

Here's what I ordered: Chicken Karage (deep fried chicken chunks in a batter - think Chicken Popcorn, but bigger chunks) Curry with Omu!


Yummyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!! Loved it. For the first 20 mins. Then, as it cooled down, it just tasted bland, so you'd need helpers, such as Japanese pickles. They add a bit of crunch and help re-freshen your palate. I forgot to take pics of the pickles, as well as the extra cheese topping my sister had ordered. The first bite was divine. Other than that, the portion was HUGE, so there was no way I could have finished it :( Such a waste. If only they had a small or a lady-size plate and the regular plate, I would be very happy!

Overall 8.5/10
