Savouring the Skewers: A Delightful Dive into Shashlik Restaurant’s Signature Shashlik of Beef

 


Ready for a carnivorous adventure that tantalises your taste buds with every bite? Then Shashlik Restaurant's Shashlik of Beef is more than a meal; it's a celebration. Join me as I recount the delightful experience that elevates this dish beyond dinner—it's a culinary festival.

First Impressions

Upon entering Shashlik Restaurant, a warm, welcoming ambiance greets you. It blends the charm of Eastern Europe with the casual feel of a family-friendly spot. The scent of grilling meat builds anticipation for the main event.

The Main Event: Shashlik of Beef

The Shashlik of Beef is not just served; it arrives with flair. Presented on a trolley by the iconic friendly old uncle of the restaurant, the skewers sizzle on a hot plate, the aromas hinting at the marination mastery. Marinated for 24 hours in a house-specialty concoction, the beef tenderloin skewers are a sight to behold.

As the skewers are carefully removed and plated, you notice the beautiful caramelisation of the meat, a perfect contrast to its medium rare, juicy interior. The seasoning is impeccable—subtle yet persuasive, enhancing the natural flavours of the beef without overpowering them.

Taste and Texture

Each bite of the Shashlik of Beef is a symphony of flavours. The outer crust, rich and caramelised, gives way to tender, succulent meat that almost melts in your mouth. The balance of seasoning is spot-on, allowing the quality of the meat to shine through, making each forkful a rediscovery of what beef can taste like when cooked to perfection.

Accompanying the beef is a side dish that keeps in line with the Eastern European theme: a refreshing mix of sauerkraut, tomatoes, onions, and potato salad. Each component offers a crisp, clean flavour to counterbalance the richness of the meat.

Is It Worth the Price Tag?

At $40 an order, the Shashlik of Beef is indeed a premium dish. However, considering the quality of the ingredients, the skill in preparation, and the overall dining experience, it stands as a justified indulgence for those special nights out.

Casual Meets Classy

One of the charms of Shashlik Restaurant is its approachable dress code. Whether you're in slippers and bermudas or a more dressed-up attire, you'll find yourself at ease. The restaurant promotes a relaxed atmosphere where the focus is on enjoying good food with good company, without the fuss of formalities.

Final Thoughts

Shashlik Restaurant's Shashlik of Beef is a dish that celebrates the art of cooking meat with a reverence that's palpable from the first sight to the last bite. It’s an experience that transcends the ordinary, creating memorable moments that linger long after the meal is over. Whether you're a seasoned foodie or a casual diner looking for a delightful meal, this dish promises to impress and satisfy.

Xiang Di Mi Fen Pasir Panjang Food Centre – Fatty Ipoh Noodles Review

  When you think of crispy noodle dishes, most of us immediately picture the classic deep-fried yee mee swimming in luscious egg sauce gravy. But over at  Fatty Ipoh Noodles (肥仔怡保炒粉)  in  Pasir Panjang Food Centre , there’s something different sizzling away on the wok. Enter the  Xiang Di Mi Fen (香底米粉)  – a rare twist that swaps out yee mee for bee hoon, and the results are worth every crunchy bite. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What makes Xiang Di Mi Fen special? Here’s the magic: instead of sturdy yee mee, the hawker goes with delicate bee hoon. Deep-frying bee hoon isn’t as straightforward – it’s finer, more brittle, and breaks more easily, which means it takes extra skill to get it golden, crispy, and ready to hold up under a blanket of silky gravy. That’s already a show of craft. The glorious egg sauce gravy Once the fried bee hoon hits the plate, it’s doused with a  luxurious egg sauce gravy  that cl...

Looking for a tasty late night meal around Hougang Kovan area? We headed down for Ng Kuan Chilli Pan Mee for their 炸猪肉板面, spicy noodles with their delish pork cutlet for this food review. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) Their noodles were amazingly springy, coupled with their awesome thick chili that was spicy and marbled with texture. Mixed together with their noodles and you get a delectable and tremendously satisfying combi. Thrown into the mix was an egg with runny yolk for the added smoothness and silky texture added to the noodles. For the crunchy department comes in the form of savoury crunchy ikan bilis, as well as crispy deep fried shallots and garlic for the uplifting flavour and aromatics.

Hunan Pork Belly at Xiang Xiang Hunan: Crunchy, Spicy, and Lip-Smacking Good

  You know a dish is that good when you keep coming back for it. And that’s exactly what happened on our third visit to Xiang Xiang Hunan Cuisine 湘香湖南菜 —this time at AMK Hub. We already had high expectations from our past experiences, but once again, their Hunan pork belly blew us away. View this post on Instagram A post shared by YumzYumz.com (@yumzyumzsg) What Makes This Hunan Pork Belly Stand Out? First off, let’s talk about the star of the show: their Hunan stir fry pork , made with a heavenly combo of Iberico pork belly and lean pork. It’s a dish that really brings out the spirit of Hunan cooking—bold, fragrant, slightly spicy, and loaded with green pepper aromatics. The pork belly is wonderfully fatty and tender, with that unmistakable richness that Iberico pork is known for. The lean pork adds a nice balance so it doesn’t get overly unctuous. And then there's the rabbit ear fungus. Yes, rabbit ear fungus—also known as Mu Er or Yunnan black fungus . It...
