Croquette/ Korokke

I have corquette as my late lunch yesterday afternoon after I spent sometimes at MPH Bookstore, The Spring, Kuching.  I was having it as my lunch as it is because I never tried it out before and also there is a promotion for that week.

When my order was served, I found out, the look is ordinary, oily and taste oil too when I put into my mouth. I have to use some tissue papers to let the oil absorb to the tissue papers, else I might not finish with the order served.  Overall the croquette taste quite good just a bit oily.

After having the croquette, I tried to search about it online and found out this from Mr. Google ... "Korokke (Japaneseコロッケ) is the Japanese name for a deep fried dish originally related to a French dish, the croquette. It was introduced in the early 1900s. This dish is also popular in South Korea where it is typically sold in bakeries.

Korokke is made by mixing cooked chopped meatseafood, or vegetables with mashed potato or white sauce, rolling it in wheat flour, eggs, andbreadcrumbs, then deep frying this until brown on the outside. Korokke are usually shaped like a flat patty. They are generally called (ingredient) Korokke. For example, those using beef would be called beef korokke, those using shrimp, ebi korokke, etc.. Those using white sauce may also be called Cream Korokke.
Korokke is often served with Tonkatsu worcestershire sauce and shredded cabbage.
Korokke can be eaten as is, and are sometimes sold wrapped in paper at stalls. They may also be used as a topping for other dishes. When sandwiched between two slices of bread, they are called Korokke pan (pan being bread in Japanese)."
