Gypsy and Pig 

So basically this is my first review after so long, so here goes... 

Me and my friends went to this place called Gypsy and Pig which was in Melbourne in Hardware Lane. Apparently this shop was owned by a Japanese chef that used to work in a top class restaurant but he went for a long holiday and when he came back he decided to open up this shop. 

I must say this place is abit pricey for students which is about in the range of 20-30 dollars per meal but the quality of the food is definately worth the money. The pork that is used for the dishes here are not ordinary pork but black pork or also known as kurobuta in Japanese which is prized for its juiciness, flavour and tenderness which definately what i had in the dishes i ordered here. 

The setting and menu 

the picture above is the picture of the chef and his assistant. This shop isnt really that big so it feels very cozy and the ambience was great. If you want to try out this place, u might wanna book in advance cause they really dont have that many sits. 

The different type of sauces and the one in the winnie the pooh honey pot is the so called "nectar" for the katsu or fried pork loin 

the stewed pork belly with half boiled egg. $25

The katsu / pork loin.$27 for the whole set 

I would really suggest coming here if you are really into katsu. The quality is definately there and the flavours from the ones i had were just awesome!!!! i give it a 9/10.
