2 chicken thigh sticks, 1 porkbelly stick, 1 onsen egg
Freaking yummy indeed! The yaki sticks were grilled over charcoal upon order and therefore, the order took some time to be served on the table. It was lunch at the time of my visit and the place was understandably packed with the CBD crowd. At a colleague’s recommendation, I ordered the yaki mono don (there’s the option of Yaki Tori Don with an additional yaki stick - great for the ravenous stomach but not if you’d like to avoid food coma in the office!). As part of the lunch set, this was served along with a side of salad (drizzled with sesame sauce) and miso soup. The sweet & umami aroma from the grills hit me the moment this was served up on the table. I kinda expect lunch to be great at this point in time! I particularly like how the yakis were served on a huge piece of seaweed which added a touch of grandness to it. This was accompanied with small sides - pickled radish and kimchi, a lil’ bit of fusion element here.
My, both sticks of chicken thigh meat were succulent, tender and juicy. Both the chicken and pork belly yaki had a touch of burnt bits here and there, adding some charred aroma to the taste profile. I liked how the belly yaki was lean overall, nothing like excessive fatty, unchewable bits that you’ve to spit out in an unglamorous fashion (in front of your colleagues). Also, not forgetting the Japanese pearly rice underneath - each grain was well marinated with sweet & savoury Japanese marinade that added much umami-ness to the overall taste!
Priced at $17.80++, this was a very satisfying and value-for-money deal!
