A couple of days ago I mentioned that pizza is one of our comfort foods. Well, tonight we had another favorite – Japanese curry! This one was a classic mix of beef, carrots, and potatoes. I think there’s enough left for two more family meals, which is always a win. It’s the best!
Today we went to a Japanese curry restaurant, Hayateya Curry Japonés, for lunch. The place had a combination Samurai & Super Sentai Power Rangers theme, which was really fun and unexpected. The curry itself was not quite to my taste, but I did enjoy having a Coke. That felt like a novelty since I rarely drink soda.
Later that night, we stopped by a hamburger food stand for some huge burgers. The place was really popular, so we figured it had to be worth trying. The burger ended up being pretty good and very inexpensive too. A total win win.
Today I prepared one of our favorite meals (and one that I am able to make 😂): Sri Lankan Curry with Chicken. And of course, we have to have boiled egg with our curry. It’s a must!
Here’s the recipe I use:

We made our obligatory trip to CoCo Ichibanya for some curry. It’s just a couple of minutes from my parents’ house, so it’s hard to resist! 😂
I ordered the pork cutlet with level 9 curry and added cheese. It was so good.
I’ve come to realize that curry is one of my favorite types of food. I love Japanese curry, Thai curry, Indian curry – pretty much every version I’ve tried. I honestly can’t remember ever having a curry I didn’t like. Tonight we had a dry curry, which brought back memories of a dish my mom used to make called “curry hamburger.” It was basically ground beef and vegetables cooked in a curry sauce, and it also had that dry-style consistency. Such a comforting and nostalgic meal!
