PIGGING OUT
One of the most beloved teishoku sets at Kalihi’s Teishoku Restaurant is Tonkatsu. Priced at $12.95 for a complete set, guests receive a succulent dish of breaded, deep-fried pork cutlet. “The meat is salted, peppered, dredged lightly in flour, dipped in beaten egg and then coated with Japanese panko before being deep fried,” explains vice president Jason Zhang. He also recommends ordering Baby Tako ($7.95), presenting nine pieces of fried baby tako seasoned with shichimi togarashi (Japanese chili pepper) and served with Japanese mayonnaise.
