Stumbling into Sho La Ku was kind of a third choice. After having passed Ganso Hakata Mentaiju, which after asking the local long queue lines which started at 1030am, and even longer by 1230pm that the place is apparently famous for Mentaiko.
The second was Hyotan sushi located on the same floor not too far from Sho La Ku. A (researched) popular local sushi joint, Hyotan Sushi which also had a long queue when we reached. Hence the third choice of Sho La Ku.


Here at Sho La Ku, one can get to try to of the main things which Fukuoka are known for. The first being MENTAIKO Spicy cod roe. This is famous in Fukuoka and is commonly served as a side dish everywhere from yatai food stalls to izakaya and even ramen shops. Secondly is Motunabe which is Another affordable yet satisfying soul food or innards hotpot. The beef or pork tripe is topped with lots of chives and cabbage and boiled in a spicy miso broth. Noodles or rice are added to the soup to round off the meal. This is a winter favorite but served and eaten year-round.
Ordered On:
19Jan2019
Special Lunch and Offal Hotpot with choice of Soy Sauce Based Soup.
On the menu it was stated that Shoyu was the most popular soup since its opening and it did not disappoint at all! 
You can order different sets as the main shared dish is the same.
The only difference between the two is the addition of Horse Meat Shashimi (nothing spectacular), Vinegar Offal (the ponzu and vinegar tends to overpower everything else. More of a textural thing). The surprisingly welcome dish was the serving of Champion noodles which was typically an asian Birthday noodles that goes into together with that delicious rolling broth.

The main hotpot itself is quite unique. Though there isn't a lot of inert, but it does have a flavorful, almost fatty texture and consistency. Very delicious but not too filling like eating pork fat. Same same, but slightly different.
Fed 2 at 3260Yen
Food 3/5
Ambience 3.5/5
Value 3.5/5 (For basic set probably)
Service 3/5
For a first time experience of Montunabe, this was really quite enjoyable. Not much comparison to others, nor suggesting this is a famous or known one. A great exposure to one of Fukuoka's dishes that was throughly enjoyed.

Nagoya - To Eat (08Jan2019Tonpachi - Nagoya miso and-pork cutlet specialty)

Nagoya - To Stay

Nagoya - To Eat
Tonpachi
(Nagoya Miso and Pork Cutlet Speciality)
Recommended by Lim P H
Its all in the sauce! Wow. That sauce is just so good and totally different from the other famous chained Miso porkcutlet joint Misokatsu Yabadon in Nagoya.
Literally a local, corner in the wall shop which seems to be operated by a family.
 
Ordered On:
 08Jan2019
 Miso Hirekatsu Set 1550Yen for normal
 
*Hirekatsu seems to be a serving of three cutlets of super tender pork. That Red Miso sauce is quite unique. A complex, deep multi layered sauce thats amazing. Its not overly salty or sweet and seems to carry with it a tinge of coffee richness to it. Something like Coffee Pork Ribs dish in Singapore. Really finger licking good. Not enough pork cutlet to clean up all that sauce.* 
Total 1550YenFed 1
Food 3.5/5 Sauce 4/5
Value 3/5
Service 3.5/5
Ambience 3.5/5
For the price, compared to many other Tonkatsu places it is a little on the steep side. But that, deep, sweet, coffeeish miso roast sauce is fantastic. This small outlet is prepped with love as the chef beats fresh eggs for the batter, tenderizes the meat before sending it for a fry. Great Red Miso dining experience and a different flavor profile from that of Misokatsu Yabadon in Nagoya.
