KATSU-DON カツ丼


KATSU-DON is Pork cutlet and egg on rice bowl. Katsu means cutlet and Don means a bowl (Donburi in Japanese).
I think Katsu-Don is one of popular Japanese food. When I was a child, my favorite food was Katsu-don. If we say Katsu-Don, usually pork is used in Japan. You will discover that it is difficult to find Chicken Katsudon in Japan. However, in our menu, we have both Pork Katsu-don and Chicken Katsu-don since there are some people who do not eat pork in Sri Lanka. It is a little culture shock for us to have both Chicken katsudon and Pork Katsudon. ;> We are trying to repeat the customers' orders in order to avoid the mistakes chicken or pork. It is very important here!!
When some vegetarian customers asked vegetable-Don, we make it without pork and chicken and with egg or without egg.
Both Katsu-Don and Chicken Katsu-Don are very popular at our restaurant. It is interesting that they are popular among foreign and Sri Lankan customers,too.

おなじみのカツ丼です。日本人なら、カツ丼とくれば、ポークですが、スリランカにはポークやビーフを召し上がらない方もたくさんいらっしゃいます。ですので、鶏メニューは欠かせません。そこで、チキンカツ丼も用意しています。カツ丼は、スパイシーな料理に慣れたスリランカの人には受け入れられない味なのかなあと思っていましたが、意外や意外、とても人気のあるメニューです。
また、ベジタリアンのお客様でも、同じような丼ご飯を召し上がりになりたいお客様もいらっしゃるので、そういう時は、お肉を使わないで、野菜だけを玉子とじしてご飯の上に乗せています。これも、玉子の食べられないお客様ですと、お野菜だけになります。
