Suelicious : [Food Review] Yaki San

A few weeks ago, I once again tagged along with Food Ink to indulge myself in good food with some new found Food Inker friends and the founders of Food Ink. This time around, we went to Yaki San, located in Asian Avenue, Sunway Pyramid, near the entrance to where you can see the skating rink (I don't remember which zone do you call it hahaha)

Yaki San literally means Mr Grilled in Japanese is one of the first to bring you delicious, affordable and fast servings of yakitori. Yakitori, as most of us already know, is the Japanese version of 'satay', where meat is served in a skewer. It can also be skewered food of any type in general.

As much as we all love yakitori, there was no shop in Malaysia that specialises in selling yakitori and for those who do sell, the price per skewer is usually pretty expensive. However, at Yaki San, rest assured that you can just nom away at the mouth-watering yakitori and you will still walk away with a happy purse.

Also, Yaki San's special tare sauce is made out of 9 fresh ingredients and brewed for hours to reach the perfect consistency and taste. They ensure their customers that they do not use any MSG / preservatives / artificial seasoning so you can all eat healthily.

Founded by a group of food lovers, they stumbled across similar stalls in Singapore and decided to bring the idea back to Malaysia. Another specialty of Yaki San is instead of using the conventional griller, they found out that the automated griller creates more consistency to the skewers and manage to maintain the juiciness of the meat, which is the machine that they are currently using and they are the only one using the machine as of now.

Yaki San practices self-service where one order their food as well as collect it themselves at the counter. Because of that, many have thought that Yaki San is merely a snack counter where you purchase your skewers and eat on the go. However, as this is their first outlet, they decide to make the Sunway Pyramid outlet their flagship restaurant where there are ample of seats behind the counter. After collecting your food, you can actually take a seat and enjoy your skewers with their free-flow green tea at RM2.

Below are pictures of the skewers, I'll have the list at the end of the pictures but for now, feast your eyes and drool over it, and then, make your way to Yaki San and just eat everything!

Did I mention that they even have deep fried skewers? My personal favourite would definitely be the deep fried chicken skin. Fatness aside, the crisp and crunch of every bite is definitely worth it!

Yummy-licious skewers on a plate.
