My 2nd visit (3rd - 5th visit for other dining members) - chotto matte donburri (too salty which over powered the negitoro, salmon roe, supposed sea urchin (cant see) which cannot be redone cos it was done with yuzu and truffle salt); scallop with foie gras (scallop over-cooked unfortunately) wagyu beef slices (medium rare nicely done but unfortunately again heavily salted in some parts)Wagyu foie gras fried rice (saving grace for the meal with seasoning done right) Garlic fried rice with Kurobuta (done nicely with well charred pork strips) …Read More

It is a Thai style BBQ accompanied with steamboat with soup (choice of tom yam or chicken base). You have another option using the electrical stove.

The meats take on the flavour of the steamboat/hot pots. Top ups of more soup base/ collagen will be made available when requested.
