Last December, a curry restaurant opened in Chitose City. It is rare to have a curry specialty shop run by an individual in Chitose City, but I was not particularly interested in it. However, there was a rumor that it might be better than my favorite 【Curry no Chikara Chitose Branch】, so I decided to give it a try. The restaurant is located along a narrow alley that extends west from Kawanami Street. As long as you don't mistake the entrance, you can easily find it with banners and curtains set up outside, but if you visit outside of business hours, you might wonder if there is a restaurant there. The interior of the restaurant is more like a cafe renovated from an old private house than a curry restaurant, with a simple decor. There were sofa seats for two people, so we sat there and looked at the menu. I noticed they had Pakistani curry on the menu. When I think of Pakistani curry, I remember 【Karaba Curry】 in Fujino, Minami-ku, Sapporo, so I could expect it to be similar. The owner of the restaurant was a young man, so I thought it might be promising. I ordered the Pakistani curry in extra spicy (+50 yen) with 250g of rice (+50 yen), and my wife ordered the pork cutlet curry in spicy with 250g of rice. There was a family of customers before us, so it took about 20 minutes. When the Pakistani curry came out, I had a feeling that it might not be good. First, I tried the pork cutlet curry my wife ordered, and it was very delicious. Then I tasted my Pakistani curry, and thought, "Oh, the curry portion is small..." It's not that the overall portion is small, but the ratio of curry used is small. You can immediately see that there is no broth in the curry, and instead of the curry spreading in your mouth, you feel like you are eating finely chopped chicken with the flavor of curry. Although it was good that I ordered it extra spicy, if the spiciness is not enough, this feeling will become more pronounced. The rice was molded in a cup, but it lacked the fluffy texture of delicious rice. My wife, who ate the pork cutlet curry, was satisfied and said it was similar to 【Curry no Chikara Chitose Branch】. The menu had been changed to include tax, but 180g of rice as a regular portion is too small. I wish they would at least make it 200g, and charging extra from 250g feels expensive. Thank you for the meal.
