壺同燒肉
Took the younger cousins out to a nice yaki-niku place to celebrate the end of exam season and the beginning of summer vacation. Okay, so they don't keep the meat coming like the cheaper all-you-can-eat places. But at least for the money we got thicker, tastier cuts compared to the usual paper-thin slices. The service dudes are happy to cook the meat for you over the charcoal grill, should you decide to keep your hands clean, a selling point for dainty ladies. Having an experienced hand also helps to make sure the trickier cuts like tongue were grilled for optimal tenderness. Doesn't hurt that the uniformed dudes were good looking with fashionable hair and all. They even came by to change the grill after almost every plate to prevent charcoal buildup. In fact, this was probably the most genuinely helpful restaurant service I've ever had in Taiwan. But if it were just up to me, though, I'd trade eye candy and friendly banter for another couple plates of sirloin, for the price.
