Relish the creamy and spicy Chiang Mai Curry Chicken Noodle. The broth is vibrant, rich, and flavoured, with chewy egg noodles and a mound of crisp toppings.

The Lemongrass Thai Style Fried Chicken is one of our favourites. Tender and juicy, the fried chicken also has a subtle hint of lemongrass flavour, which is undoubtedly one of the most popular dishes, as it was gone minutes from the buffet table.

The enticing ensemble is complemented by an array of Live Stations and Western delicacies, comprising Smoked Duck with Orange Jus, Barramundi with Minestrone Soup, Grilled Marbling Beef, King Oyster Mushroom, Au Poivre, 16-hours Cooked Veal Shank, and Pot Roasted Black Angus Beef Oyster Blade. One of our favourites is the Roasted Lamb with Urban Farm Rosemary. It is grilled over charcoal fire for that distinct smoky flavour, and the meat is exceptionally tender and juicy.

Don't miss out on the Puff Prata with Milk and Red sugar. The little prata parcels have a thin crispy layer on the outside while fluffy within. The sugar added a subtle sweetness to it, which makes the puff prata extremely addictive.

The chicken yakitori is basted with a savoury-sweet sauce and charcoal grilled, rendering it tender and flavourful.

59 Hutong Yakiniku @ Boat Quay - Taipei's Top Yakiniku Chain For Exclusive Cuts Of Meats And Seafood, Together With Friendly Taiwanese Service

59HuTong35

Newly opened in Boat Quay is 59 Hutong Yakinku, a new yakiniku restaurant serving premium and exclusive cuts of meats and seafood from Japan, US and Australia, and friendly Taiwanese service. The restaurant is a collaboration between Taipei's top yakiniku chain, Hutong and Singapore's 59 Restaurant Pte Ltd.

AUS Wagyu Thin Cut Tongue

We started with the AUS Wagyu Thin Cut Tongue ($32), which has a delectable crunch after grilling.

There is a good variety of beef cuts, such as the US Prime Boneless Short Rib ($32), AUS Black Cow Chuck Flat ($30), US Prime Dallas Cube ($38) and many more.

Japanese A5 Wagyu Ribeye Roll.

Of course, the highlight has to be the Japanese A5 Wagyu Ribeye Roll (215g - 225g) with its beautiful marbling that melted in the mouth. Other A5 wagyu cuts from Japan and AUS are available too.

Spanish Pork Belly

59HuTong30
Iberico Pork Shoulder Blade

For the non-beef eaters, you can go for Spanish Pork Belly ($18) or Iberico Pork Shoulder Blade ($26). Alternatively, another option is the tender Boneless Chicken Thigh ($14) paired with garlic butter.

Raw Crab Roe in Crab Shell

There are also seafood selections such as Neritic Squid ($18), Cuttlefish ($18), Scallops ($10) and many more on the menu. We tried the Raw Crab Roe in Crab Shell ($18), which can take a while to cook. The flavour is a bit too rich and intense for me.

59HuTong9
Cuttlefish Sausage

A must-have under the seafood section is the Cuttlefish Sausage ($14). During the grilling, it emits a beautiful aroma that makes you drool while waiting for it to be cooked. In addition, the stuffed cuttlefish gives it a lovely crunchy finish.

59HuTong16
Zucchini and King Oyster Mushroom

While the focus is on the meats and seafood, the vegetables are good too. We had the Zucchini ($9) and King Oyster Mushroom ($9), which is an excellent refreshing break.

59HuTong24
Wagyu Beef Japanese Rice

A good selection is the Wagyu Beef Japanese Rice ($12) to fill up the stomach. While I enjoyed the soft and fluffy rice, I hoped the wagyu beef could be fatter.
