Charcoal-Grilled, Sliced US Beef Shortrib in Tanuki Raw’s signature Sukiyaki sauce, Truffle soy, Onsen Egg, house-made pickles, Shio Konbu.

Hadn’t actually had anything from Tanuki Raw in a while, but this was pretty satisfying — the beef slices were sliced pretty thin and tender, carrying a slight hint of smokiness whilst perfuming of a truffle aroma; a good portion being served over the a bed of Japanese short-grain rice that is fluffy and sufficiently sticky, drenched with an ample amount of truffle soy for a savoury and earthy note of flavours that makes the rice easy to have. Mixing up the wobbly Onsen Egg into the entire bowl, it gives the rice and the beef slices a silkier texture that also helped to bind the various elements of the dish altogether, while the house-made pickles on the side gives a refreshing crunch with a tang to cut through all that meatiness and carbs to achieve a good balance. A pretty decent eat at Jewel; perhaps a visit to their Orchard Central outlet is due pretty soon considering it had been years since the last visit.
