Ebetsu, Hokkaido, Japan｜モンキーマジック (MONKY MAGIC)

Cute, inconspicuous little shop that boasts amazing quality and a nice ambiance. I recommend the chicken vegetable soup curry, although I haven’t tried the other ones and they all look equally delicious. You can choose your soup (there are two kinds: original and tomato-based) and the spice level you can tolerate. The latter goes up to 10 for “normal” people but if you like living on the edge, you can push it even further! :D I like my food spicy, and I thought level 5 was “just right” for me, although I can see myself enjoying a 6 or 7 without too much undue pain! You can then further customize your soup curry with a large variety of toppings. The vegetables are super fresh and the meat is fall-off-the-bone tender. I’ve only tried the original soup and it has the classic soup curry taste you’d expect, only more delicious than most “average” soup curry shops. In short, I highly recommend this restaurant.

Delicious soup curry prepared fast for cheap. The family that runs the place is very friendly and they have a cute baby.
