Overall, lunch at Ginza Anzu Great World was a pleasant experience. The ground floor restaurants were not very crowded at lunchtime on a weekday. But the car park was quite full, possibly because there are two major supermarkets in this shopping mall – Cold Storage and Meidiya.
I haven't been to Anzu since they left their old location. But we were at their Great World spot tonight (1 Kim Seng Promenade #01-113), and this was not only one of the cheapest items on the menu, but also one of the only non-breaded items.
The scallop katsu was bouncy and sweet, and was really sashimi grade, fried to a nice crunch and fragrance with the panko crust outside but still rare inside. Ditto the prawn katsu, which was full of qq prawns that was cooked just nice, again retaining their bounciness and sweetness. Very nice.
Scallops were nice. Still rare inside the panko crust and still sweet.
The set turned out to be quite delicious & good combo of dishes.
Anzu Tonkatsu, Japan Food Town is a small restaurant with a row of counter seats and a few small tables.
The food is not bad but it pains us to pay $44 for a small piece of pork. Maybe if we return, we’ll order a cheaper set.
In their early days, Anzu had struck me as uninteresting because the menu was very limited to a few tonkatsu options which were also more expensive then the other shops in town. That menu had definitely expanded to include more these days.
