Located in #Qingguang Market, there’s an ultra-mini curry rice specialty store. Why do I call it ultra-mini? Because there are only 4 seats inside: 2 bar stools facing outside and 2 bar stools facing the counter, essentially sitting back-to-back with the diners behind you and shoulder-to-shoulder with those beside you 😂 (it's very crowded).
Although the store is really small, it has everything you need, and the atmosphere is very cozy. It’s the first time I've seen a shop less than 2 ping (about 66.1 square feet) with such decor and comfort. I give a thumbs up for the ambiance!
However, it might really be more suitable for dining alone or for takeout, I think.
Outside the store, there’s a waiting list for seating; those who want to enjoy the warm atmosphere can queue for a spot inside.
Basically, the table turnover is very quick, with two staff members handling the cooking and cashiering in the kitchen. The serving speed is fast, and it’s unlikely to linger long after eating, so waiting a bit is okay. During my visit, I also saw different customers coming in to pick up takeout meals, so it felt like business was good.
I waited just a little while before being seated and ordered the “Japanese Style Tender Fried Pork Cutlet Curry.”
The set meal allows for 5 choices of sides from which I thought they were all included, so I later chose a soft-boiled egg and moo-moo milk tea.
🍛 Japanese Style Tender Fried Pork Cutlet Curry

-
The curry sauce has a bit of the sweetness typical of Japanese curry and is quite thick, not watery at all. I quite like it.
-
The portion of the fried pork cutlet is just right, with thick slices of meat, and the crispy outer coating is well preserved, giving it a rich and substantial texture.
🧋 Moo-Moo Milk Tea
🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗
I really love their homemade canned milk tea, which has a refreshing tea fragrance and isn’t too sweet. I think it’s fantastic, a little gem recommendation for everyone!
🌞 Soft-Boiled Egg

Their soft-boiled egg has liquid egg whites encasing a semi-cooked yolk that oozes goodness, all soaking in a small bowl of special soy sauce. It’s extremely satisfying to eat in one go! It’s not too salty or too runny, with a very smooth texture.
To finish this alone, you only need to sit for about 20 minutes. Since there were people waiting outside the store, after finishing, I cleared my plate and gave up my seat.
Overall, it’s a very cozy little curry shop, and if I pass by occasionally, I would want to go in again to try their rice bowls and hamburger steaks. They all look so tempting!
