smokey charcoal, japanese BBQ









If only it snow in singapore.
but heavy downpour these days is just as good
The perfect food to go with cold rainy weathers
- yakiniku(grilled meat), karubi(BBQ Short Ribs) and bulogi (firemeat)

Gyu-Kaku, meaning 'horn of the bull' in Japanese,
is Japan's best loved yakiniku restaurant.
With over 800 locations across Japan,
Gyu-Kaku is the Jack's Place equivalent for Japanese families
stepping out to enjoy delicious food over a hot charcoal fire.

Last night we ordered spinach salad in Japanese Sesame Dressing for appetizer,
and 3 kinds of meat and 2 kinds of veggies.
We had the most succulent wagyu oyster blade beef( $13.90)
Karubi Tare Short Ribs($16.90) and Black Pepper Venison ($8.10).
The vegetables that we had to balance up the dinner was Assorted butter mushroom in foil grill ($8.50)
and Assorted Vegetiable ($9.50).

I wanted to have plain rice to go with the meat.
I always liked Japanses rice served with purple pickle.
But then the server suggested us to share a Ishiyaki Bibimba ($10)
It's just Japanese fried rice topped with seaweed and minced meat on top of the cooked rice.


The overall experience was really good.
I guess this is the only place which can offer authentic tokyo alike charcoal BBQ.
Thanks to modern technology and good quality charcoal,
you don't leave the restaurant smelling like broiled wagyu.
Brightly lit but dark-themed, the restaurant is a great place for dining with friends and family.
Open only for dinner, they can gather around the charcoal glow and fight for the last piece of wagyu.
