Syohachi Yakiniku 尚八日式燒肉店 @ Wallich Street

0 comments

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.

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. 

cheers

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...

Yakiniku Toraji 焼肉トラジ 名古屋セントラルタワーズ店 JR Central Towers Nagoya

0 comments
It was a quick lunch before heading to Kyoto. In the morning we were exploring Inuyama and returned to Nagoya for lunch and to get our luggage bags before continuing to Kyoto. As usual, we went to find food at JR Central Towers at Nagoya Station. All looked pretty enticing but we were in the mood for some meat. Hard to choose between steakhouse and this BBQ place. In the end, decided to just try Toraji.

We were given window seats but it was so hot, haha! Heat from the grill and heat from the window. Double grilled! The view was overlooking the tracks of the train station. Quite cool.

Ordered a yakiniku lunch set (S) for ¥1700. It has two prawns and some pieces of beef. For that price, there wasn't any Japanese beef included though. My friend had the Toraji lunch set at ¥2500 and that has Japanese beef.

charcoal grill, yay!
Yakiniku Lunch Set (S)

Was pretty happy with my set. Loved the seaweed soup, the small side salad and the kimchi. So yums. The meat was tasty, well marinated and tender. Lovely and value for money. It doesn't matter if it was not Japanese beef. Still loved it!

The meat only needed that quick sear and it was good to eat.

yummy in my tummy
Was surprised that there was dessert included in the meal. All diners got a complimentary ice-cream (like our ice-cream potong) of milk flavour.

The service staff was friendly and helpful. The food was good and prices reasonable. Would love to return one day.

Gyu Kaku @ Novena Square

0 comments
Gyu Kaku is known for its meat BBQ, and having had it once at AnchorPoint, the meats were delicious. However, not wanting to risk smelling like BBQ, we forwent the grill (though it was utmost tempting with price points below $30 for lunch) and gotten donburi sets instead.

The weekday value lunch sets has just 5 options with prices ranging from $9++ to $15++. My colleague chose the buta kimchi while I went with the beef sogi.

Beef Sogi set came with mid sized bowl of rice topped with beef and tendon cubes, all fighting for space with a wobbly softboiled egg and some gari (pickled young ginger). It also has kimchi and salad on the side and a bowl of kelp soup.

break the egg, mix it up

The rice bowl became super moist after mixing the runny yolk. The beef cubes tasted mild and pleasant. Loved the soft tendons. Lunch was pretty filling. Salad was good, with minimal dressing and the greens were crunchy.

Had a side order of beef croquette but it turned out meh. Not much taste and it was oily.
