Aburiya & Black Cafe

Another primarily visual post....starting with the Japanese BBQ Restaurant that left many raving about....



the most important part of our dinner....a charcoal stove!

Portobello mushrooms with butter and soy sauce ($6.90)

Wagyu set consisting of prime short rib+finger rib+cube cut+outside skirt ($31.90)


Kurobuta rosu aka Kurobuta pork loin ($9.90)


Beef tenderloin ($13.90)

Tontoro aka Pork cheeks ($8.90)


Portions are pretty small, but just nice for 2 small eaters....overall, the quality of food is pretty good...esp the wagyu and kurobuta meats.....and they have various cuts of meat and different seasonings for you to choose from...personally, i feel that the best seasoning for meats would be Shio, which is just salt & pepper....gives the meats a little flavour, without overpowering its original taste....food here is not cheap, but worth a try!


Earl Grey lavendar tea + Green tea latte ($9.50)

Red velvet cake ($6)

The 2nd branch of this cafe (flagship branch is at raffles place, i think) is located in Somerset, and their menu is a mixture of a little of everything, with drinks, cakes, desserts, mains and even all-day breakfast. The tea is pretty refreshing, with the lavendar smell adding a nice dimension to the boring earl grey....the green tea latte, however, is too sweet and too milky for my liking....and the red velvet cake is the 1st i ever had....and also the worst cake i have ever eaten! it is totally hard and dry (although not cold), and totally void of the cherry taste that is supposed to be in the red layer (that is how it got its name i guess)...to put it simply, it will take some courage for me to try another red velvet cake again, thats how bad it is.
