Saturday’s dinner was at Aburiya, a restaurant serving grilled Japanese food. The fun part of it is that you do the grilling yourself and what’s more, actual red hot charcoal is used! I don’t know the scientific explanation for it, but somehow charcoal-grilled food tastes better than one using an electric grill. And it’s just pretty to see the flame embers.
Time doesn’t permit me to give the low-down on the experience so I’d refer you to the blog entry of my good friend and frequent eating companion. We were there together with five others and as you can imagine, we ate quite a lot!
But overall, I liked the place and thought the food was good. Notable stuff to try are the lamb, pork cheek and duck foie gras. Also, the good thing is that we didn’t end up stinking of bbq food at the end of the meal. So I reckon the ventilation’s good. Service was OK, but the staff seem a bit flustered and frazzled when the number of customers increased. It wasn’t too expensive too. Expect to spend about $30 per person (without drinks).
