*****************************APPETISER - They give you tea, a small appetiser and some daikon oroshi as palate cleanser. Like most Japanese Izakaya's and Yakitori shops, its compulsory to charge you around $20-30 per person. I have no problems with this, but some people do mind. Well, most Chinese restaurants charge similar for Chili Sauce/Mustard, Peanuts, Pickles. Even more in Hotpot restaurants. BEER - They only have Draught Tsing Tao here, so I opted for bottled Asahi, the only other 1 or

BEER - They only have Draught Tsing Tao here, so I opted for bottled Asahi, the only other 1 or 2 alternatives.
CHICKEN WITH NEGI - This was great. Seasoned well with sauce and grilled perfectly, faint aromas of char-grilling. Chicken was tender and had some chicken taste.
NATTO & CHICKEN YAKI - This was great, wrapped by a piece of seaweed.
BEEF TONGUE - This was the 'thinner' type, but seasoned with cracked pepper and salt. Slightly crunchy but not chewy. I like this a lot. I also like thick versions, no preferences for any!
CHICKEN TSUKUNE - This is the minced chicken done in-house (most shops buy readily made ones), its dipped into a raw egg with a bit of sauce. Excellent! Couldn't find traces of much soft bones though.
*****************************
- The name of this shop is actually called '錦' - its a 鳥燒居.
- Its within the Regal Hotel - but don't rely on the signages downstairs because they didn't reserve one for this tiny shop, but its definitely still there and operating!
- Come to think of it: I've actually heard about this shop even from overseas, as they're one of the shops which informs the new customers upfront that they don't serve Raw Fish.... Some people think this is 'arrogant', but u know what? The staff here are ultra friendly, they even asked me how I felt about them compared to the surrounding shops, such as 五味鳥, Hoka Hoka, Tonikaku, etc. The Japanese boss/chef is friendly, says thank you's, and him and the staff work like a family and joke around. It reminds me of a family run business in Japan side streets.
- As a matter of fact, they actually DO serve raw fish here sometimes, if the fish they source is fresh enough to be eaten that way. You can also reserve for higher end fishes or wagyu's in advance - I saw some customers doing just that! Very flexible!
- Although most Yakitori shop menus are similar, I couldn't help but notice how 純燒鳥's menu is almost a replica of here, or is it the other way around?
REALLY LIKED THIS SHOP, FOOD WAS GREAT TOO! HIGH '4' to LOW '5'
