Spice curry is beautifully harmonized with a rich variety of ingredients and spices, and it pairs exceptionally well, especially with red shrimp, firefly squid, and turmeric rice. It can also be adjusted for spiciness, so even those who are not fond of spicy food can enjoy it.
It is conveniently located at LUCUA Osaka, and the interior was spacious and comfortable.
There is a delicious spice curry restaurant in Lucua that I visited 🍛
The name of the restaurant is "Kitasetsu Spice Laboratory, Lucua Osaka," and it is located on B2F of Lucua Osaka 🏙️
It was easy to recognize from the exterior, and the interior was more spacious than I had expected ✨
This restaurant originated in Minoh, and they also served Minoh Beer 🍺
For my drink, I chose
homemade lassi ✨
As for the spice curry,
I ordered a limited menu item from the Lucua Osaka store,
curry broth soup curry 🍛
with toppings:
spice boiled egg 🥚
and soy sauce marinated salmon roe✨ 🍛
The curry that arrived had shrimp that was expertly grilled, with a strong aroma of shrimp 🦐
It was packed with ingredients including:
grilled red shrimp with shaojiu 🦐 (you can switch to "drooling chicken" if you're not a fan)
homemade pickles 🥒
purple cabbage coleslaw 🟣
simmered baby sardines with sambol spice (it's a spice sprinkle!)
homemade harissa squid chanja 🦑
saba and okra stir-fried with spice 🐟
spiced ground meat 🐮
spice stir-fried firefly squid with garlic chives 🦑 (it has a crispy texture and a bit of spice with a refreshing aroma)
asari clams in Nepalese pepper candy✨ (using Nepalese pepper called "Timbur")
lime 🍋🟩
spice boiled egg 🥚
and soy sauce marinated salmon roe✨
with a rich variety of delicious options 🍛
There was also an explanation on how to enjoy the curry broth soup curry, which I followed 🍛
Each of the side dishes had a strong and distinctive flavor, and they were incredibly delicious ✨
The spices were effective, but the heat level wasn't too strong, which is a personal favorite point of mine.
The main red shrimp was perfectly grilled, with a plump and delicious taste 🦐
The seasonal firefly squid and asari clams were also delightful 🦑
I mixed the rice and side dishes little by little, and I found that the slightly firmer rice was just right for soaking up the curry broth 🍚
The salmon roe was poppingly delicious, and the combination of each side dish with the turmeric rice was absolutely fantastic 🔥
I poured the hot broth at the end 🍛
The joy of being able to get a second serving of broth was wonderful 🍛
The broth also had minced meat and other ingredients added 🐷
It was a curry with a nice spice flavor that tasted great on its own 🍛
Mixing the side dishes with the turmeric rice created a complex combination of flavors, resulting in different deliciousness with every bite ✨
Even though it’s spice curry, the heat can be adjusted, and the standard level of spiciness was just fine even for someone like me who struggles with spicy food; I had no problems enjoying it 🥰
I was so happy to finally have an incredibly delicious spice curry after a long time 🍛
I also thought that the easy-to-reach location of Lucua was excellent ✨
