Katsu curry has never been something I crave or go out of my way to eat. I’ve got a thing about curry powder, it’s the same reason I’m not a fan of Singapore noodles. That said, I have fond memories of a katsu curry tucked away under Shinjuku Station, eaten when we were exhausted and just needed something warm and filling.

I’ve tried making it from scratch before, it was fine, but not something I was rushing to make again. This time, I used the S&B curry cubes (one of the brands Millie recommends), and honestly? I didn’t hate it. I actually enjoyed it. A comforting, low-effort meal that hits the spot on a cold Melbourne evening.

If you have kids (or are a big kid yourself) you can find this fun cat rice mould at Daiso. Not just for katsu curry but for any dish!
