If you are one of those that fire out flamethrower like Charmander after eating curry that gives you too much heat, you might want to check this place out!

Located at 1 Utama Shopping Centre lower ground, CoCo Ichibanya is a curry specialist that caters to all foodies (be it mild or ultra-spicy).

You might find the price a little steep but I assure you that it is worth a try.

My family and I went straight to what they recommended in the menu.

Since all of us ordered something meaty, we choose two salad to balance it out.

First up was the smoked salmon salad. The salad was crisp and fresh while the salmon slices were adequate with the price.

Pumpkin and bacon salad surprised us with its creamy texture and savoury taste. We hardly use the dressing as the toppings was good enough to pair with the salad.

All of us opted for hot curry as we enjoyed the spices but prefer just a little heat when it comes to Japanese curry.

 Although the grilled squid curry rice didn’t look very appetizing in the picture but it was clearly out of my expectation! The combination sounded a little strange but the taste was surprisingly harmonious.

The squid was juicy and tender while the mayo brought out the flavour of the squid. It is a taste you can’t find elsewhere.

 Pork cutlet curry rice was up to standard, giving a hearty stamina boost with moist and succulent strips that went well with the curry gravy which was flavourful and aromatic. 

 Upgraded pork cutlet curry rice was even better! The hot rice was covered with fluffy velvety omelette, pork cutlet and curry gravy.The "fuwa fuwa" eggs was delightful and very satisfying when combined with the pork strips, comforting and warm for hungry tummy.

Beef Hayashi Omelette rice was nothing curry but  still great with its distinct and rich beefy taste.

We managed to finished the pickled served on our table as it matched really well with the curry, refreshing our palette  while the hot spice enhanced the  curry gravy and allowed us to eat more.

The blueberry smoothie was fresh and cooling, a good choice after some heat. 

Nevertheless, I thought CoCo Ichibanya was satisfactory and if you are looking for something new, do try it out!
