[Review] Beef Curry Pan

Came across this today, and it just looked amazing delicious. I have, surprisingly, never had one before, so I thought this was a good chance to try it since the onigiri I normally get wasn't there.

The bread was nice and soft and the curry wasn't spicy, which is good for me because I'm horrible at spicy food. And it had a decent curry taste. It wasn't too strong, but you could definitely tell it was curry. Which is, of course, a good thing.

My only problems were that the bread was too thick and there wasn't enough curry, and that I couldn't tell if there was actually any beef in there. It might've just been beef-flavored, and not contain any beef at all.

But it was worth the 105yen.

Curry-flavored potato sticks

This one's really got me interested. I love curry. I love potato fries. The combination just sounds delicious. One day I'll go back and get it. I swear.

How can anyone resist?!

The curry's by CoCo, a restaurant. I've been there once. It was ok. The curry was a bit too watery for my taste. But this is on chips. So it should be ok?

[Review] Hamburger onigiri

Yup. That's right. It's a hamburger rice ball. Well, at least that's what it's called. The rice isn't really in the shape of a ball. More like a thick patty rice cake thing. And then there's a hamburger patty on top of that with a piece of seaweed half wrapping it all.

It was actually pretty tasty. The rice was sticky so it didn't come completely undone. The hamburger had a sweet-ish sauce with it, which was rather yummy. And I think there was a very thin layer of mayonnaise in between. Although I normally hate mayo (mustard is even worse though), I could barely taste it so it was good for me.

Verdict? I'd definitely get this again.
