LWIN LEE | GYU-KAKU JAPANESE BBQ @ TROPICANA CITY MALL
Bringing you the best from
the
Land of the Rising Sun, Gyu-Kaku, a Japanese BBQ Restaurant which
has garnered various accolade of dining
awards, has been whetting the palate of local folks here with its moreish array
of quality premium beef as well as tantalizing Japanese dessert.
Gracing strategically at the friendly
neighbourhood of Tropicana City Mall, Gyu-Kaku welcomes you to a cozy and
smokeless sizzling session, where each table is equipped with a down draft
system whereby the smoke is sucked in to the bottom of the table, which is a
polar opposite to the common Yakiniku restaurants that see smoke sucked up
through the vent, making guests’ face and clothes slightly smokey. Hence, no
problems even if you are going for a
date after the yakiniku session at Gyu-Kaku (=
Over here, customers are ensured of a
comfy dining experience where customers share and cooked meats by themselves over
a flaming charcoal grill while indulging in the camaraderie gleefully within
the an ambiance of elegance and conduciveness.
And so, we started off
with the recommended appetizers like………..
WAKAME SALAD (MYR 9.90)
Greens mixed seaweed and
green with Japanese citrus soy dressing. It’s light and refreshing, perfect as
the prelude before the mains. And the wakame is also a joyful companion to be
served cold this way
HORENSO SALAD (MYR 9.90)
Japanese style spinach
with crispy garlic and goma sesame dressing. Somewhat more saporous from the
former one with the aromatic sauce, its bounteous and crisp leafy greens are
equally inviting and health-promoting too. Love the generous helping of the crisp
and additive bites of garlics dearly.
…………………. or some Japanese
staple to first warm your tummy.
GARLIC FRIED RICE (MYR 10.90)
A quintessential plate of
stir-fried rice with grated garlic, served with capsicum and shiitake mushroom,
and then topped with great amount of fried garlic as well. Each grain of rice
is fluffily enveloped with the butter fragrance, making it more satisfying.
Saw a familiar face here!
TOFU CHIGE SOUP (MYR 16.90)
Tofu and chicken in spicy
kimuchi soup served in hot stone bowl. Chicken meats taste are tender alongside
the silken beancurd that makes the whole combo a mouthwatering one. Best
enjoyed when served piping hot with a bowl of white rice. Compared to its
Korean peers, the jigae soup here is tad sweeter and made more savory. Pretty
good though…..
More kimuchi, if you still can't have enough of it (=
Soon, ushering one of the
many highlights of the day; charcoal grilled yakitori being one of them.
ASSORTED YAKITORI PLATE (MYR 39.90 – 6 SKEWERS)
Get ready to relish in the
succulence of enoki shabu yakitori, chicken yakitori and asparagus shabu
yakitori, all gracefully skewered and lusciously beckoning.
Barbequed-
fresh off the grill!
Enoki shabu yakitori is my favourite pick amongst the crowds.
Coming up next is the crème
de la crème session of yakiniku!
For the meat selection of marinade,
diners could choose from spicy
miso, tare, shio, miso, teriyaki or garlic.
FILLET (MYR 38.90)
Undercut of the sirloin of
beef that is tender and has a delicate flavor.
Deviating from the
conventional thin-cut slices, Gyu-Kaku offers a different enjoyment by
presenting them in a cube form, for a much more texturized bites with addictive
chewiness. Do remember to cook it properly by flipping the meaty cubes every
side while grilling them to ensure an optimum grilling.
HARAMI (MYR 20.90)
One of the bestseller and popular especially among the fairer sex!
A hit amongst Japanese ladies for its tenderness and low in fat content.
It has a leaner meat composition compared to fats, thus explains the skewered preference (=
WAGYU KARUBI (MYR 47.90)
Also known as Wagyu Oyster
Blade, the quality wagyu beef of marbling 5, easily wins any foodie over with
its melt-in-your mouth nuance. The luscious chuck is thickly cut, its flavours
and juiciness are simply umami! You really gotta try this out.
CALPIS WATER (MYR 7.90)
A common drink back in
Japan, the beverage has a light, somewhat milky, and slightly acidic flavor, akin
to a plain fermented Yakult. I would say it’s rather an acquired taste to me (=
YUZU FLOAT (MYR 9.90)
Here comes the much more
acceptable pairing, zesty yuzu sorbet with frizzy soda.
What’s to complete a
Japanese meal without their signature sweet craving such as green tea and black
sesame gelato?
ICE CREAM/SORBET (MYR 10.90)
Double Scoop ice creams to
further delights your extra tummy for dessert with flavor to choose from
Vanilla, Yuzu (Japanese Citron), Kurogoma(Black Sesame) and Matcha(Green Tea).
And my favourite has
always revolving around these two (=
Alright, something new to titillate
my ever curious taste bud…..
MILK PUDDING (MYR 10.90)
Milk pudding topped with
soya bean powder and Japanese brown sugar syrup. Thankfully, it’s not that
saccharine and I would like to regard it as a healthier choice for the sweet
tooth craving. The pudding is velvet and comes mildly milky with each spoonful
is teastefully promising
Wow, look, what do we find
here, scouts!
S’MORES (MYR 6.90)
Graham crackers served
with roasted marshmallow and Nutella.
A traditional nighttime
campfire treat popular in the United States, consisting of a roasted
marshmallow and a layer of chocolate sandwiched between two pieces of graham
crackers.
Indeed one of the easiest
and hassle-free
BBQ session I’ve had so far (=
Gyu-Kaku offers the fun of “shared
plates,” inspiring laughter, conversation, and good times. You can’t help it –
