My 3 Favorite Restaurants in Kumamoto!

My 3 Favorite Restaurants in Kumamoto are Singkham, Portage, and Sri Lanka.  I like these restaurants because I like spicy food and cultural experiences.  Singkham is a Thai and Laos restaurant located in Oe, in Kumamoto.  They have very tasty Labb, fried rice, fried chicken, Tom Yan Kun soup, and Thai coffee.  In addition, their prices are very reasonable -  only ¥1,100 gets you a wonderful buffet lunch in a cozy atmosphere.  They are closed on Mondays, but otherwise are open for lunch from 11:30 am - 2:30 pm, and offer the buffet on weekdays only.

My second favorite restaurant is Portage.  Portage is located on international road, on the way to the driver's license center in Kumamoto.  They also have a buffet lunch, and this will cost you only ¥1,050.  Their food selection ranges from a variety of pasta, curry, salads with home-made dressing, tasty fried chicken, goya, fish with lovely tartar sauce, and desserts.  They also have the normal additions - a drink bar, a soup bar, and more.  They are closed on Tuesdays, but open other days from 11:30 - 15:00.  On weekends they offer a steak additional service and you can always enjoy pleasant, relaxing music throughout your meal.

My third favorite restaurant is Sri Lanka, located on Shiromicho Street in downtown Kumamoto, Shimotori.  They are on the second floor of the Kumamoto Building, and offer a variety of spicy foods from Sri Lanka.  Many people equate Sri Lankan food with Indian food, but they are vey different.  Sri Lanka has no naan as is found in India, and the curry itself is different.  They instead have a round type of bread called lati which is dipped in a curry sauce.  Their prinjrol salad (deep fried eggplant and onions in a spicy dressing) is out of this world.  In addition, they have mutton, fish, and pork curry, and offer other kinds of meals.  Look for their lunch plate special, which includes Sri Lanka Curry, rice, salad, soup, and drink for only ¥750 on weekdays.
