Garaku soup curry, Sapporo, Hokkaido

Noticed this shop was very busy in the last trip to Sapporo.  This time we came here earlier, at 6pm to avoid the crowd.  Got a soup curry with pork and a lassi as well as their house signature deep fried chicken in pomelo sauce.  The soup curry is a bit disappointing to me.  It was simply a soup curry base with the ingredients cooked separately.  So without shimmering in the soup curry, I really didn't find the pork and the veggie in a curry aroma.  Yet, the soup is a bit too much with turmeric and galangal.  What's more the rice was cooked with turmeric too.  So it's just tumeric all the way making it much too overwhelming.  The deep fried chicken wasn't nice either as the pomelo sauce was way too sweet.  Later on I found out most visitors here followed their smartphones' forums to come here.  Next time I need to check on the forums too to avoid those hot picks.  BTW, knew someone in some IT companies who could help servicing a million likes or AI comments on the forums and this kind of service really made them a business.

The red curry looks very spicy.

Actually it's not that spicy but just too overwhelming with certain herb.
