Wagyu Steak in Street Vendors

Wagyu Steak is no longer the exclusive menu is only served in large restaurants. Now the Japanese beef is the price per kilogram can be more than Rp 500,000 and it began to be presented at the sidewalk stalls.

In large restaurants, one serving of Wagyu steak weighing 200 grams can be appreciated Rp 250,000 to Rp 350,000. Because the price is relatively expensive here, Wagyu beef is considered an exclusive that can only be enjoyed by the few.

However, the presence of sidewalk stalls that serves Wagyu steaks make this meat is more populist. Simply spend an average of Rp 100,000, people can enjoy Wagyu meat is sweet, savory, soft, and melt the fat when it reached the tongue. Hmmm ....

Having set the table, the waiter new shop set up other equipment, such as wiping the dishes and cooking utensils to prepare.

Holycow not allow the buyer booked in advance. "Who comes first, that's what we serve," said Afit. Those who are lazy to queue do not expect to order a steak to take home because there are rules they are not eaten in place should not order a steak to take home.

While not busy as Holycow, MrSteak located at Jalan Prof. Dr. Satrio Casablanca, Jakarta, also serves Wagyu steaks. It's just a bit hard to find this shop because of the row MrSteak many other eating places that install large shingle so that the sign shop is a white, almost closed.
