Eating less is more

Are you a fan of shabu-shabu? Yes, there are many of them in Brunei and we are always spoiled for choices. I’m proud to say i’m a big fan of Yugo BBQ & Shabu-Shabu Restaurant. My favourite is their spicy soup. Hopefully with this post, it will encourage those who haven’t try and give Yugo BBQ a shot.

Now Yugo BBQ introduces all-you-can-eat buffet to the delight of their loyal patrons and selection is quite intensive too. For $24.80, you are getting more value than you can ask for and I would recommend you to try the grilled meats. There are the Australian lamb, Australian beef, short ribs, seafood, snacks and many more. If you are tired of those huge buffets, this is just a perfect place to break your fast.

You can also mix your food with their home made spices and sauces. Personally I like their dips and sauces. It feels as if you are dining with home made food.

Yugo BBQ is located at Gadong Central on the 2nd building at the end and you can make your reservations by calling 242 7790. You can also follow them on IG @yugobbq

It was full house as usual. The first night of the Charcoal Ramadhan Skewer Buffet was last Thursday. Just at the right time. A week into Ramadhan and also coinciding with pay day. The one thing I always target for the Charcoal buffet are the ribs and the nachos. Yes, just dip that ribs into the spicy sauce and that’s already enough to satisfy my cravings and I had two rounds of it that night.

For $34.90, you are getting a super great deal for the popular dishes at Charcoal. On normal days, the ala carte would have cost you more if you were to try the dishes that you like. I was stuffed by the end and for the first time, I had quite a handful of dishes, simply because I love meat and Charcoal didn’t disappoint. Yes, the price has also dropped from previous year and this make it even affordable.

Both bandar and KB outlet are having the same promotion. So if you happen to be in KB, then do drop by Charcoal BBQ & Grill.

For regular patrons of Charcoal Ramadhan Skewer Buffet, the green and red flags are back! Green indicates that you are ready for the skewers and the stewards will bring them to you one by one until you have had enough. That is when you put up the red flag to indicate that you are done.

The restaurant advises customers to call 2221171 (Bandar) or 3342177 (Kuala Belait) for further information and make early reservations to avoid disappointment. I can tell you that you might have difficulty making reservations on the actual day or even a day in advance. This is one of my top choices to dine in for breaking your fast.

During the day, Charcoal is having a take away special for the whole of Ramadhan (From 11am to 4pm) and some of the ala carte will have a 20% on selected ala carte menu. Not bad, right?

You can follow them on Facebook Page and also on their social media @charcoalbrunei instagram for updates.
