Don-Don

4th stomach, the most tender stomach

When grilled perfectly, it becomes almost exactly like squid, and it's pretty damn good with the crisp. Get the tare which is their house blend, kind of like a mix between teriyaki and gochujang so there's a bit of heat and very savoury.

However like squid, it's easy to overcook and become rubbery. A test of skill. Very expensive tho, 20bucks for 100g?

Overall this place is pretty ex, we paid 30 per pax for a second lunch, and didn't really eat much. They're packed cos they're tiny, not cos they're super good. But good enough for cravings

The noodles have quite a bit of bite, the cold broth was quite mild actually but more savoury and less sweet and sour than most I believe, so it's not too difficult to accept. The onsen egg was perfect

Overall nothing too special though, I would have wished for it to be more intense

For this price there's no complaints. The impressive part is the thickness of the tongues, it's about twice as thick as normal, and the portion is quite something. On top of that, it's very fragrant from the lashings of oil and the spring onion. If you cook it perfectly, it comes with a good crunch and was very meaty.

IF. Not sure why but apart from the first 2 pieces, the others all had one pesky part near the middle of the grill that simply refuses to be cooked. Since you can't turn or you risk all of the spring onions falling out, you have to keep waiting for that part to be cooked and it was thus very easy to overcook. It's really difficult to cook it perfectly without turning, even for someone who's quite experienced with tongue if I say so myself ;)

Further, the spring onions which drop down eventually becomes burnt and sticks to the grill, so that's another hassle on its own.

Without the discount this is too much trouble, esp if you're someone who's not into tongue in the first place

For charcoal grill yakiniku with great vibes.

Their specialty is Ox Tongue with Spring Onion. When cooked over charcoal fire, the charred spring onion really complemented the ox tongue.

The raw beef was also excellent and well marinated. It was the first plate to be wiped clean.

They also offer an assortment of meat and marinate to choose from, all of which were of good quality and had distinct taste.

Though it may be pricey, you will be assured of good quality meat and great vibes.

Overall🥚: 8.5/10 🍳🍳🍳🍳🍳🍳🍳🍳🟡

Chazuke - $12

Chazuke is rice bowl dish where you pour hot soup or tea in, for the soupy experience. This bowl may be small but there’s 6 slices of Wagyu beef placed on top of the rice! Look so beautiful and fatty. When pouring in the hot soup, it partial cooked the meat, and it kinda melts in my mouth. Yakiniku don don being a popular Japanese BBQ place, how can I not promote their ox tongue! The ox tongue with spring onion ($22) have a slight chewy texture but so yummy when grilled. Overall a shiok shiok makan session
