Hakata Bunka-ya Curry Shop 博多文化屋カレー店 @ Hakata Ward, Fukuoka, Japan.

Not far from Udon Taira, 5mins walk is a MUST GO place if you're a fan of Japanese curry. This place brings back me back in time, looks like a cafe full of manga books back in the 90s. Too bad I can't read Japanese, if not I would probably be here everyday just reading the sheer volume of manga labels they have. 

The outside of the restaurant is damn quirky, aiyak forgot to take a pic of the inside. Was too mesmerised by the smell of the curry. You can actually smell the curry from a few shoplots away. That's how I know it's gonna be good. 

My last night in Fukuoka, I went for the oxtail curry on rice. First time I'm seeing a Japanese curry with such a dark colour. Oh my, the meat just slide off from the bone, soft and tasty. The curry? Damn sonnn, this is top notch. Thick, but not the jelak type, super addictive. Make sure add on the red pickle, pairs damn well with the curry. Highly recommended!

Love it, confirmed on my list next trip I'm back here.

Indocurry Hakata Station @ Fukuoka, Japan.

Time for some Japanese style curry rice. As usual you can find any cuisine at the Hakata Station. Saw this shop as we were walking around and decided to check it out.

Menu is English friendly and they have tonnes of options to go with your curry rice.

My mates plate above and mine below. Oh my this is such a hearty meal. Portions were huge and the curry? Hits the spot, Yummy!

Wash it all down with a pot of beer and your day is set. Lovelly.

Seni Sattisorru @ Brickfields, KL, Malaysia.

Haven't had this in ages, so when my mates were going here for lunch, I decided to crash them. What's not to love about cooking rice in curry in a claypot.

They got some fresh seafood if that is your liking. Each claypot are made to order below.

Ordered some fried sotong to share, very addictive. I tried the chicken one before, but I still prefer the mutton. Claypot came piping hot, soaked in curry. 

If you prefer a heavier taste, opt for the mutton. To die for! And chopped plus confirmed your afternoon session would be food coma.

White Curry Mee @ Restaurant Hock Seng Kopitiam @ Ara Damansara, PJ, Selangor, Malaysia.

Came across an article the other day that mentioned this white curry mee stall in this kopitiam.

This kopitiam spans over two shoplots front and back. They have a wide range of stalls to cater to your tastebuds. 

Oh my what a beautiful bowl of white curry mee. Quite a bunch of stuff inside the bowl.

First sip was just the normal broth, quite good. But the magic happens when you mix in the sambal, a whole new level of umami taste. This can be quite an addictive bowl of white curry mee. Shioks.

Haji Isenin Restoran Kari Kepala Ikan & Asam Pedas @ Semabok, Melaka, Malaysia.

Off for another brunch asam pedas in Melaka. This time a friend brought us to this restaurant called Haji Isenin.

We ordered the usual works of spread, plenty of dishes to choose from. Cencalok is a must if you're in Melaka.

Food was exceptionally good, typical kampung home cooked meal. Blardy good and satisfying.

F1 Kanji Arab @ Kari Kepala Ikan Pantai Remis Perak.

This place must be good that it only opens on Saturday and Sunday only. And boy was it packed when I went. Place is huge with dishes all over and ordering can bit a messy. If anything you'll be rewarded with the freshest fish head curry.

 

So many types of fish head and sizes to choose from, just pick the one you fancy.

Must be a testament if they only open on Sat and Sun only. Curry is smacked on, absolutely delicious. Worth the drive here.

Nasi Ganja Shukri @ Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia.

Back to his original spot, this is the only outlet that sells Nasi Ganja Shukri at the moment. Food is still impeccable and worth it.

Oh man, this whole meal is worth every penny. Portions were huge and taste wise, superb. Confirmed plus chopped food coma after this meal.

Restoran Kari Kepala Ikan Noordin Bidor (Since 1997) @ Bidor, Perak, Malaysia.

Back in Bidor again and this round we went and tested the curry fish head at Noordin. We came here on a weekday and boy it was still packed during lunch time.

Forgot what type of fish head we ordered but the serving was pretty fine. Order the usual standard stuff, some chicken, cabbage, lamb etc.

The fish head flesh was fresh, the curry was sublime. Totally finger licking good. The other must order is their version of fried chicken in their own masak merah. Highly addictive! Gimme the fish curry, chicken, some cabbage and salted egg, that's a complete meal. Highly satisfying!

Roti Canai Kari Kambing Ulu Bendul @ Seremban, Negeri Sembilan, Malaysia.

If you fancy a good roti canai pair it with kari kambing, then this place is worth checking out. The place can get hectic on weekends but the queue moves quite fast.

The roti canai is fluffy and the curry is just nice on flavour and the meat is super tender. No wonder this place is packed with patrons. Best part, you're feasting with a nice background of greeneries and a pleasant hill.

Restoran Ratha Raub @ Raub, Pahang, Malaysia.

We decided to have brunch here for the kari kepala ikan. Trust me, you won't be disappointed, the curry is just divine. And if you can't stand the heat, there's an aircon dining room upstairs.

We ordered a few dishes, a MUST order is the kambing bakar/grill lamb or was it fried? Oh well this and the curry fish head, I'm super duper fine.

 

We also ordered some fried bitter gourds, fried chicken and sambal sotong. It's good, but I just can't multitask with the variety of food lol. 

The star dish is of course the curry fish head and they give taupok too!!! Curry was just perfect to my liking. Portions were good. Well worth the journey to come here for brunch.

Heng Heng Khao Soi @ Bangkok, Thailand.

Alright down the road from Thong Lo off we went driving to hunt down this Khao Soi place. It's been on my map for quite some time and finally managed to tick it off from my list. 

My mate had the rice noodles and I went for the Khao Soi.  Both was equally good if you ask me. Worth checking out this joint.
