Once in a while my friends would get the urge to spend a little bit more for food. After all, we can’t be eating chicken rice day in a day out, right? Or can you? My friends dragged me to Sakae Sushi Teppanyaki. This is actually from Sakae Sushi, this time they added a teppanyaki component to distinguish it from its conveyor belt sushi restaurant. This restant is a bit fancier than the conveyor belt one. Here you able large metal cooking areas where the customers sit around. This is where all the food is prepared.
Once they have taken your order, the cook will bring out all the ingredients for him to prepare. Most of the ingredients are identical most especially the sides. Since this is a teppanyaki place most of the food is cooked the same way. Naturally, the meat depends on your order. It was fun to watch the cook prepare our meal, it seems that there is a formula or ritual to prepare food for a lot of people all at the same time. He would prepare the appetizers separately then distribute the finished dishes to each individual. The main dish is likewise prepared separately unless you are ordering the same thing in which case the meat is cooked together.
It would seem to be quite troublesome to try to recall who ordered what, but the cook always remembers, otherwise you have to help him remember. Our cook happened to be a very friendly Filipino chef, he was enjoying himself cooking for us and at the same time he would tell stories to amuse us. He even lit up our meat in flames which I guess was part of the “show”.
For the price I would say that the food was quite good, I would be my first time to eat teppanyaki of this price point, but I would have to say it was really nice. Mine came with a “healthy” serving of goose liver and it is prepared just nice and not overcooked. Of course one cannot have too much of goose liver no matter how heartstoppingly good it is. It was enough to satisfy my craving for this delicacy. I’m sure there are a lot more better teppanyaki places than this but Sakae Sushi Teppanyaki already has set my standard for teppanyaki and I definitely wouldn’t mind going back there.
