Ikigai Yakitori Bar

Unveiling a hidden gem I discovered recently with affordable Yakitori delights near Jalan Besar/Little India!

@ikigaiyakitoribar is a treasure trove of flavors where each bite unveils umami-ness. Prepared freshly upon order, be prepared to watch an enchanting dance of skewers on the grill in their captivating open kitchen concept.

Here's what we tried:

🍢Skewers

With the skewers starting from just $1.50, this set the stage for a pocket-friendly yakitori meal.

🍢Asari with Japanese Short Neck Clam

A comforting classic dish to start us off.

🍢USA Beef Short Rib Kakuni

Very tender and flavorful!

🍢Kyo Iberico Char Siew Kamameshi

Every grain of rice absorbs the broth's soul, resulting in flavorful crescendo with every mouthful.

🍢Maguro Katsu

A symphony of textures - crunchy outside, tender and firm maguro inside - all harmonizing effortlessly with the accompanying sauce.

🦐Grilled Mentaiko Tiger Prawn

Only for the month of August, enjoy this dish for only $5.80!

🍢Grilled Cheese Mentaiko Scallop

Super cheesy and fresh! Mentaiko lovers must try!

🍢Ika Shioyaki

Tender Ika Shioyaki takes the stage, paired with a homemade spicy chili dip infused with yuzu kosho. Each bite dances between tenderness and a refreshing, zesty twist.

🍢Grilled Hamachi Collar

A harmonious pairing with drinks. Its smokiness and fattiness adds depth to your sips, turning every moment into a delightful duet.

No more gatekeeping on this so if you fancy Japanese food especially Yakitori, hit @ikigaiyakitoribar up!
