Syohachi Yakiniku 尚八日式燒肉店 @ Wallich Street

It's been ages since we last ate yakiniku. Was it in Taiwan the other time? So when Tracy and Hence suggested, both Ivan and myself, readily agreed. Plus, Syohachi Yakiniku is very near our hotel.

the shop

We chose the 'Early Bird' ala-carte buffet which included beef, at $50++ per pax. This set came with one-time serving of sashimi, which works well for us because we crave for sashimi too!

The sashimi platter comprised of salmon, tuna and scallops. I liked the scallop best!

Then, by default, the staff will bring out one serving of mixed meat for the table while we peruse the menu. For drinks, we took the default green-tea (option of hot or cold) as it is refillable.

default platter

The default platter seemed like a sampler plate where one gets different cuts of beef, chicken, pork belly, prawns, squid and oysters. Try first before ordering from the menu, I suppose.

Can't go wrong with prime cuts and shortplates, so beef was quite a 'safe' choice. I liked the chicken but it was a tad too salty. Pork belly was tough though, so we decided not to order it for the buffet. The oysters that came in the aluminum foil cup, was super tiny. Decided to skip this one as well.

let's get cooking

The leaner cuts of the beef was rather chewy, so I preferred the prime cuts where the marbling was good resulting in tender meat.

The lamb chop was of a good sized before cooking and texture was tender good. However, it was also strongly marinated. Need to wash it down with the green tea.

The seafood section was also worth ordering, especially the scallops. Large and plump. Lovely!

yummy seafood

The staff here are friendly and pretty efficient in topping up our green tea. The orders were served rather quickly too although the shop was bustling. Kudos to the lovely staff!

more beef!

grill it quick

I got to enjoy the yakiniku because Hence was busy grilling for us. Thank you buddy!

Not forgetting the salads and side dishes, these were good complements to the meat.

refreshing side dishes

I did spy on other tables and mostly were in groups of 4 or more. But there was also a table with just one pax. So, as long as you enjoy the food, solo dining is fine as well!

Thank you Tracy, Hence and Ivan for sharing the calories! I think we ate 1kg for one pax during our 90 minutes of dining...
