Uncle Botak BBQ Platter

Chicken:

Tender, well-seasoned with hints of rosemary, goes well with a creamy sauce.

Beef:

Medium with a pink tinge, tender, strong beefy flavors. It was great by itself or with a very spicy sauce (a personal recommendation by owner Daniel). I did my own Korean-style wrap with lettuce and shredded cabbage from the platter.

Lamb:

My favorite meat of the bunch, it was tender and cooked medium-well. It had hints of rosemary again and I preferred it by itself. The Thai mint sauce added sweet and sour notes.

Meatballs:

Chunky but a bit dry, worked better when slathered in a brown sauce or with the special spicy sauce. That reminded me of the cranberry sauce on Ikea meatballs but with a dash of chilli heat.

Smoked duck:
This was an extra order (RM29++ for 200 g). I found this to be the real star of the meal: it had a strong, smoky flavor from fat that slowly melted in the mouth, and a sparkle of heat from a dusting of chilli flakes on the meat. If you're a fan of bold flavors, then the ducky-ness of the dish really stands out.

Surprisingly, a sparkling asam boi soda was a good drink to go with the platter. I think it was down to the sourness and bubbles cutting down on all that fat and meat. I didn't have room for dessert but maybe next time...

Uncle Botak BBQ also handles events and advance orders for grilled and smoked meats.
