Satellite photos of the tepanyaki. A careful second look will review the pork belly( bellies) browning perfectly in butter, Char-Siew pork getting a good tan as well, 2 lonely prawns basking under the sun, not forgetting thr 2 mixed-mushroom balls. This is the photo of our fist round with the tepanyaki. J was sitting there, making herself pretty, while putting the raw meat into the tepanyaki occasionally. I was constantly making my ways to the shelves where the food were placed.
1st round : 1 plate of Pork-Belly, some Garlic-Spring Onion Pork, Char-Siew Pork, assorted greens, 2 eggs, prawns, sotong, salmon,saba, chicken wings,tofu, fishballs, udon (2 bowls )...
We passed by this restaurant the first time we went to Marina Square after its renovation and was told by this auntie that the food there was very nice and the ice-cream is a 'must have'. But that time, we went for the purpose of trying out Carl Jr and therefore, have to give the restaurant a miss.Finally, on tuesday, we decided to go Yuki Yaki for dinner. It was around 8pm when we reached and when we were finally served after waiting for around 10 minutes (we were the 3rd in queue), the waitress told us that the last order is at 9.15pm and asked whether it was okie. Since we were both really hungry (for missing lunch), we decided to go ahead.
The table was very spacious, especially for 2 of us. I think it can seat up to 5 -6 pax comfortably. Instead of the usual steamboat/tepanyaki buffet we saw which combined both together, Yuki Yaki cleverly separate the both of them. The good thing is you won't be splashed by the oil while you take the steamboat food.
Anyway, we literally attacked the food once we got our table. We took sushi and some appetizer like green peas, octopus to munch on first while the raw food were cooking. They are not stingy with their food - in fact, they had wide variety of meat and steamboat ingredients.
Some of the 'must haves'...
1. Pork Belly which i loves a lot. We took 4 rounds and even cover the entire tepanyaki pot with the pork belly. How we ate it was to dip it in a mixture of egg when it is really hot and after that, soya sauce. J also tried the korean stlye - wrapped it up with lettuce, with some egg and soya sauce ( 5/5);
2. Lamb chop. Becoz it was heaty, J only took a piece to share. It is well seasoned and there was no 'sao wei'. It actually tastes like satay. But i kind of overcooked it. Nevertheless it was good!~!~!~; (5/5)
3. Chicken wing. They cleverly cut the chicken wing in the middle and this way, it cook really fast. It's a really goot tip next time for bbq. We couldn't get enough of those. Could hardly taste the marinate thou, but the meat was still juicy (3/5)
4. Char Siew Pork. Really sweet and juicy. Even thou it dun really taste like the usual char siew from the market stall. but it is well marinated meat. Worth the try ( 4/5)
Some of the sauce we recoommend:
1. Sesame seed with soya sauce - although i feel that it can be more salt-ier.
2. Soya sauce with garlic
3. Egg. Yes, raw egg. If they have spring onions, it would be better. I learn this way of eating from J's dad coz he always mix egg with spring onions and soya sauce during CNY reunion dinner.
At around 9pm, the waitress came to take our last order. We switch over to another table for our ice-cream. The ice-cream was nothing to rave about except for it novelty.
Overall the food was great. Service was excellent. The waitress who served us gave us another table for the ice-cream since they were about to close. The table was wide and spacious and i think 4 to 5 people can seat comfortably.
Another must-have/must-try is their chicken soup base for the steamboat. It was fantastic!~!~!~! Very different from all other soup base we've had outside. And after cooking tons of prawns, mushrooms, scallops, vegs... the soup was heavenly. Another plus will be their service. The food were replenished relatively fast and the quality was very good as well. Only wished that they have thinly sliced pork and chicken available.
The bill came to about $47 - $1 extra for PH and $2 for the ice-cream. Considering the drinks were free flow, the quality of the food as well as the level of service rendered to us, this was a good bargain! Definately will return to try again, soon.
