“The thick-cut crispy pork cutlet is fried from fresh pork, staying crunchy outside, tender inside, and juicy. Karaage brings another kind of crispness through marinated chicken. Hot soft egg rounds out the curry, while the sweet-potato croquette adds a sweet, creamy turn. Each side has a role, making this a good meal for curry-and-fried-food fans; because the mains are fried to order, allow some waiting time.”

WHY VISIT

Why add it to your itinerary?

01
Thick fresh pork cutlet with juices in every bite

Fresh-fried thick pork cutlet stays springy and tender inside a crisp coating. Rich curry lets you compare the cutlet plain first and then dipped in sauce.

02
Soft egg adds another tender layer to curry

Hot soft egg is silky and tender, with warm egg aroma making curry rounder. It can sit directly on the rice or be served separately so you control each bite.

03
Sweet-potato croquette brings a sweet turn

A golden crust wraps sweet mashed sweet potato, contrasting with the curry’s rich savor and giving the fried side a denser, creamier texture.

Thick-cut Crispy Pork Cutlet Curry Rice

Fresh pork is cut thick, fried to order, then sliced. The golden coating stays crisp while the meat is tender, springy, and juicy, served with rice, curry, fries, and vegetables. Try a piece by itself first to feel the thickness and crust, then dip it in curry so the sauce and pork aroma remain distinct.

Crispy Karaage Curry Rice MetroBites visit photo

Crispy Karaage Curry Rice

Fresh chicken is marinated and fried, giving a crisp exterior with clear chicken aroma and plenty of juice inside. The curry is sweet with a mild spicy note and there is enough sauce for the whole serving of rice. Keep the karaage dry at first and dip each piece as you eat for a sharper crunch.

Croquette MetroBites visit photo

Croquette

A uniformly golden fried shell holds sweet mashed sweet potato rather than the more common potato filling. The contrast is crisp outside and dense, creamy inside, with sweetness cutting through the curry’s savory richness. Fresh from the fryer, the inside is very hot; split it with chopsticks and let it cool slightly before eating alongside pork cutlet or karaage.

FIRST VISIT

First visit: how to order

01
Fresh-fried mains need some waiting time

The pork cutlet, karaage, and croquette are fried only after ordering. When takeout orders pile up, allow some flexibility in your dining time.

02
Pick up and return utensils yourself

Dine-in utensils are self-service. After eating, return bowls, plates, and utensils to the collection area.

METROBITES LOCAL TIP
Keep the egg separate and dip fried food bite by bite

If you want both the moisture of soft egg and the crispness of fried coating, ask for the egg on a separate plate. Add a little egg and curry to each bite so the pork cutlet and karaage do not soften too early.

✨ AI Visit Snapshot

Xiao Dong Men Curry Daliao is on Fenglin Fourth Road in Daliao District, Kaohsiung, near Daliao MRT. The small restaurant focuses on Japanese-style curry rice while also serving donburi, pot-style noodles, and fried foods. Thick pork cutlet and karaage are both fried to order and can be paired with soft egg and croquettes. It suits diners who want a filling curry, love crisp fried food, or are sharing sides while each person orders a main.

Dining room and atmosphere:The shop occupies a corner position around the intersection of Fenglin Fourth Road and Zhongzheng Road. The dine-in area uses a warm Japanese-inspired style and feels clean and comfortable, though seating is limited. Guests collect their own utensils and return them after eating, keeping the flow simple. Tables suit solo meals or two to three people. At popular times, dine-in customers and takeout orders can arrive together, which may slow the pace of freshly fried mains, so it helps to leave some extra time.
Location and dining notes:The address is 高雄市大寮區鳳林四路172號, near Daliao MRT; no walking-minute estimate is currently stated. Pork cutlet, karaage, and croquettes are fried after ordering, so eat them hot if you want to preserve the crust. Utensils are self-service for pickup and return. Seating, crowds, and online-order availability can vary by time, so keep the meal plan flexible.
● Thick-cut Crispy Pork Cutlet Curry Rice

A freshly fried pork cutlet sits beside rice with curry, fries, vegetables, and carrot. The cutlet uses fresh pork and is visibly thick, with a golden coating that cracks crisply while the meat stays tender, springy, and juicy. Eat one piece plain first to appreciate the crust and thickness, then dip it in curry for a second rhythm.

● Hot Soft Egg

The soft egg can be placed directly on the curry rice or served separately. Its Japanese-style softly set texture is silky and tender, and the warm egg aroma rounds out the curry. If you want to keep fried food crisp while still enjoying the egg’s moisture, take it on the side and add only as much as each bite needs.

● Croquette

The croquette has an even golden crust, but the filling is sweet mashed sweet potato rather than the more common potato. The outside is crisp and the center dense and creamy, creating a sweet contrast to savory-rich curry. Fresh from the fryer, the center is hot, so split it with chopsticks and let it cool briefly before eating. It also adds another texture beside pork cutlet or karaage.

● Crispy Karaage Curry Rice

Fresh chicken is marinated and fried, giving the exterior a crisp bite while the inside stays juicy with clear chicken aroma. The curry is rich and sweet with a mild spicy note, and there is enough sauce for the full serving of rice. Keep the karaage dry at first, then dip each piece according to taste so the coating does not soften all at once.

Uncle’s line: Mix the curry slowly, bite the fried food while it is hot, and save the soft egg for the moment when you want the next bite to feel gentler.

📌 Editor’s take

Xiao Dong Men Curry Daliao keeps the curry-and-fried-main combination easy to understand. The thick-cut pork cutlet is crisp outside and tender within; karaage stays juicy; soft egg changes the sauce with a creamy texture; and the sweet-potato croquette adds a sweet turn. The corner shop has limited seats, while self-service pickup and return of utensils keeps the process efficient. If you are around Daliao MRT and want a meal with rice, fried food, and sides that offer different textures, this combination is particularly easy for two people to share and compare.
