Using premium Hokkaido beef slices, mine were torched to perfection, with pinkish tones still noticeable on the meat. The beef is tender and easy on the teeth. It already has its own smoky flavour from the flaming but the cognac adds a punch to it. The sauce doused over the rice is a twin pairing comprising of a brown and white sauce that make the rice really savoury and enjoyable to eat even after I am out of meat, while the onsen egg is done pretty perfectly itself. Portion wise, it does not seem too filling, but I wouldn't complain considering the surprising quality standards this dish presented to me.

While the price tag makes me question if the dish is really worth paying for, I got to enjoy this as just $11.90+ due to an ongoing promotion at the restaurant for all their rice bowls, and honestly it's quite a no-brainer to order this because it's the most drastically reduced in price compared to the other bowls presented. That said, if you aren't in the mood for beef, there are salmon and pork options too. The promotion ends on Valentine's Day, so there's still time to enjoy this before you have to fork out double the amount just for it! 😂

Do expect long queues for both lunch and dinner though; I joined the queue at roughly 6.45pm and waited about 45 minutes to reach the counter and about another 20 minutes for the food to arrive, but thankfully it was worth the long wait. 😋
