A cutlet above the rest

Good quality and attention to detail make the price worth it at Saboten, the Japanese-style pork cutlet restaurant. The brand has just opened its second branch on the fifth floor of Wangfujing APM shopping mall.

Besides the plain pork cutlet, there are deep-fried shrimp and cutlet rolls with stuffings such as asparagus and seaweed—order all three as a mixed platter. Pair the cutlets with a refreshing sliced cabbage or turnip salad. The cabbage slice salad pairs wonderfully with a free sesame sauce on the table. Although the pork cutlet is deep-fried, the bread-crumb wrapping is prepared fresh, so it doesn't look or taste greasy. Average spending is 90 yuan ($14).
