Tired of the usual noisy AYCE BBQ? This Gyu-Kaku in Palembang offers a game-changing experience with its hidden private KTV rooms. Grill premium meats while singing your heart out with your crew in total privacy. While the meat is top-notch, don't forget to save room for their legendary milk pudding with ice cream—a dessert many say is the real star of the show. It's the ultimate private feast and party rolled into one.
Every time a friend asks me to go for AYCE BBQ, the image that pops into my head is a noisy, chaotic scene. But this time at Gyu-Kaku in Palembang's PIM, my friend mysteriously booked a private room, and I was wondering what kind of tricks a BBQ place could have up its sleeve… Turns out, when I pushed the door open, I was just Anjay! It was actually a private room with a KTV! Grilling meat while channeling my inner karaoke king, this experience was absolutely insane.
Once we sat down, forget everything else, we went straight for the high-quality meats from the Premium package[1], and the quality of the meat was truly on point. Sizzling on the grill, who can resist that aroma! With a 90-minute battle time[2], not a single second could be wasted. My friend also recommended the officially recommended Garlic Suki Shabu[3]. As a change of pace after eating too much grilled meat, it was truly Mantap!
But honestly, the MVP of the entire meal has to be given to that legendary, internet-famous dessert—the Milk Pudding with Ice Cream[4]. I'd seen so many people online say that their pudding is the main event, and I didn't believe it. After one bite... OMG, I was wrong! The milky flavor is rich, it melts in your mouth, and paired with the ice cream, it was so delicious I wanted to stand up and applaud! The few of us ended up downing three or four cups each. Now that's the true spirit of eating at a buffet!
Of course, to be fair. The standard buffet starting at 248,000 IDR[5] isn't considered cheap in Palembang. Also, the service is really a matter of luck. Sometimes it's fast, but we also encountered a waiter with a really sour face, who was dismissive when we asked him something[6], which kind of ruined the mood a bit. But thankfully, most of the staff are pretty efficient.
Key Takeaways (Get your notebooks ready!)
- The Private Room Hack: Want to Nongkrong privately with friends or sing KTV while you eat? You must book their VIP private room[7] in advance! There's an extra charge, but it's totally worth it. Otherwise, if you just show up, it'll definitely be fully booked.
- The Dessert is the Soul: Even if you're too full from the meat, you have to save room for the Milk Pudding with Ice Cream[8]! Trust me, if you don't like it, you can come back and fight me!
- Be a Time Management Master: You only have 90 minutes[9], so don't just spend it all chatting. Order all the meat you want in the first round, and then add more slowly later.
- The Sauce Mystery: I've heard people complain before that their sauces weren't "nendang" enough, but on this visit, it felt like they've clearly improved it. The flavors are much richer now[10], so you can go for it without worry
- A BBQ spot with a KTV private room! Grill meat and sing with friends. Simply Anjay [1]!
- The legendary milk pudding with ice cream is the main event! Rich, creamy, melts in your mouth. You'll want more than one [2]!
