I'm not sure if this is run by the Kajiken folks or not (someone in the kitchen here was wearing one of their shirts), but an outlet of a curry chain from Japan has opened just a few doors away at the Orchid Hotel in Tanjong Pagar, and on the former grounds of Ramyun & Soju Korean Cuisine (1 Tras Link #01-03, 6444-9260).

With a name like Dragon Curry, you'd figure that they'd probably do spicy curries. And they did, but it was a binary selection: either spicy or original with nothing in between. I spotted bottles of red powder on each table though, so I went for the original, figuring I could always crank it up a few notches myself, especially if they were the bottles were as spicy as the ones at Coco Ichibanya.

The only problem was that the powder wasn't spicy at all, and I didn't like the curry as much as Coco Ichibanya's either. But the thing that I did like about this place was the katsu, which was extremely crunchy and in-your-face salty. And for an added twist, they had jugs of paitan broth on each table for you to make a porridge with using any remaining rice. Next time I'll get the spicy version to see if it's any better.
