子羊りりこ
I have been a regular customer at Curry and Western Food Rendezvous since it opened. The atmosphere is like an American diner that you would see in movies or TV shows, with a lovely owner couple always smiling, playing music that I like, and serving delicious Western food. I always check for new items on the menu, as well as seasonal limited-time offerings. When a nearby shaved ice shop is closed for lunch, I often come here for lunch before heading there, making it part of my routine. The restaurant is usually open all day, which is convenient. I often see an elderly regular customer there, and though we've never spoken, it always warms my heart. This time, I ordered the Omu Rice Hayashi for 890 yen. The interior had Oasis playing in the background. The owner couple greeted me with their lovely smiles and provided attentive service. They brought water and salad first, with a French-style dressing. The lunch mat with the restaurant's name embroidered on it is cute, and I always find myself touching it affectionately. Finally, the Omu Rice Hayashi arrived, and it looked slightly small in the photo, but it was a satisfying portion. The egg was fluffy, but with a bit of a firm texture on the edges, maintaining the flavor. When I dug in, I found chicken rice inside, with a light ketchup flavor and a hint of chicken, onions, and garlic, along with a buttery taste. It was so delicious that I could eat it endlessly. The Hayashi sauce was rich but not overpowering, with a refreshing tomato acidity. The onions were soft, and the meat was well-seasoned, impressing me with its flavor. Unlike other places where the ingredients are all stewed together, here the beef flavor remained distinct throughout, making it enjoyable until the last bite. The homemade pickles with cucumber, daikon, red and yellow bell peppers added a nice touch of acidity. I finished the meal completely satisfied. Next time, I want to try the Pork Ginger Lunch that I always think about ordering, but I might get tempted by the enticing smell in the restaurant and end up ordering curry again. Thank you for the delicious meal.
