1) What do you guys see or expect in Japanese Curry? Like what kind of ingredients do you expect, and how much of it is inside?
-- Not really sure what to expect as I'm not that much into curry (though I'd eat it any day), but I'd like a serving of curry with equal parts of half-chewy, half-tender beef chunks, sauce, and maybe a smaller portion of the veggies. I tend to dislike having big chunks of veggies in my curry.
2) Any particular preference for it like should it be sweeter, spicier, sour, etc? And what about the texture, do you prefer it to be thicker or thinner?
-- Sour, spicy, and thick. Flaverful enough to infuse flavor with every spoonfull of rice, but not too salty. Again, I've little experience with curry - this is how I'd like mine though.
3) Appearance, what color or smell would be most appealing for you?
-- Appearance wise, the usual deep dish with a heap of rice at the side and a pool of curry at the other is good enough for me. For garnishing, a parsley leaf would suffice.
4) Describe your ideal curry is as great detail as possible.
-- Like above in appearance, with flavor as above. What matters to me is the flavor, serving size, and serving temperature - not too hot to scald your hungry mouth, just warm enough for you to appreciate the flavor and heat of the sauce.
5) Given your preference, how much are you willing to pay for it? Honestly. Also, how often would you be eating it at that price range?
-- Again, I put emphasis on the serving size - for a good serving amount I'd pay 150-300php, and I could eat 2-4 times a month if it isn't within easy commute. Commute aside, 1-2x a week is cool.
5) Any other comments.
BYOC? With recommendations for the uninitiated, of course. Curry of the week (on price off) could be good too!
Haven't tried any of the restaurants mentioned, so I don't have a clue on which tastes better.
