A reader on this post:
"I believe that was "ochazuke" with tonkatsu set.
ochazuke is basically broth with rice, comes in many variations such as salmon ochazuke, plum ochazuke, etc.
you were most probably supposed to put the ingredients from the smaller bowls into the rice and then pour the broth into it.
it is very tasty. try it again if you can :D"
Thanks! I wonder if I can find ochazuke in Singapore...
